I wasn’t clear why she decided to, she’s been a Republican supporter, of course, but don’t normally host dinners for ex-potential-candidates. Mitt’s pretty funny, actually, now that the press is off him. It was a low-key event so I got to ask him a bunch of questions. Ever the politician, he made a convincing case that he was just playing to his base and that he would have been more liberal if he had been elected. I posted this in MPSIMS because dreams are always mundane and pointless. If you are going to dream about the rich and famous, why about old men? ---

Romney is a bit more palatable than the one MY Republican aunt worked for, Mike Huckabee. Ugh. ---

He seems like a very classy man. And he is a very successful businessman. Sounds like a fun dinner. ---

It would have been a better dream if your mother **roasted** Mitt Romney for dinner. ---

Once I dreamed I was eating my brother with a knife and fork. He was an infant even though in real life he is older than I. He tasted nothing like Mitt Romney. ---

He wouldn’t have coffee, it’s against his religion. Water boarding is OK, caffeine is right out. ---
