First a grieving mother and now a famous writer … you’d think Mitt would just shuddup.

Peter Berg, the writer-director of the Friday Night Lights movie and television series, is not pleased that Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney has co-opted a phrase from the show for his campaign appearances.

In a letter to the Romney campaign sent Friday and obtained exclusively by The Hollywood Reporter, Berg calls the use of “Clear Eyes, Full Hearts, Can’t Lose” an act of stealing. “Your politics and campaign are clearly not aligned with the themes we portrayed in our series,” Berg writes in the letter. “The only relevant comparison that I see between your campaign and Friday Night Lights is in the character of Buddy Garrity — who turned his back on American car manufacturers selling imported cars from Japan.”

Mitt, dude, you’re rich.  Hire somebody to think for you.

Thanks to Barbara L. for the heads up.

Lindsay Lohan just announced she’s voting for Mitt Romney “for now.”

Okay.

“I just think employment is really important right now,” she said. “So, as of now, Mitt Romney. As of now.”

“It’s a long story,” she added, according to E! News.

Yeah, kinda like explaining the Romney Ryan budget.

Thanks to Stephen for the heads up.

So Tom DeLay is appealing his conviction.

His theory is that he did not use actual money in committing this crime; he used a check.  The law law says you can’t laundry money.  But, he didn’t.  He used a check instead of cash so … ta da! … no crime.

Holy technicality on the back of a writ twit!  Checks aren’t money?  Well, does that mean when I write a check to the phone company they will not take actual money out of my bank account?

If checks are not money, how come the more I write, the less money I have?

Lord, what a pitiful excuse for a man.  And where does he find these lawyers and why does he give them money?  Oh wait, maybe he’s giving them checks.  Oh, I get it now.

Vickie Vogel’s gorgeous handmade quilt (and it truly is a work of art) was won with a $2,000 bid by  a retired university professor living in Illinois who wanted the quilt in memory of his wife’s long dedication to Democrat ideals.  I know, that’s so sweet.  He wrote that description himself.  When I read it, I punched Ole Bubba in the arm and said, “Get your sweet on, Bubba.”

So $2,000 is going to help Democrats in Texas.  Thank you Vickie Vogel and an amazing man in Illinois.

Okay, so Paul Ryan wants to be called Mister tonight during the debate.

What, Prissy Confused Meanie was already taken?

His ego is too big to fit in Congressman?
