That Romney-Ryan chanting reminded me of an old joke about the guy who when to a shrink. It seems he’d been dreaming. "Doc, one night I dreamed I was a teepee and the next a wigwam. Teepee - wigwam, teepee - wigwam, and it’s bothering me. Said the psychiatrist, “Your problem is you’re two tents.” (Say it out loud, if you must) ---

I’ve listened to the same clip on various websites and, honestly, it sounds to me like some people are chanting “Ryan” and some people are chanting “Romney”. Both are audible. There’s no telling what it sounded like from Romney’s point of view, although his cheerleading leaves a lot to be desired. But nice job flagging up the latest right-wing idiocy in an attempt to flag up left-wing idiocy. ---

> [@Gyrate](#): > > There’s no telling what it sounded like from Romney’s point of view, although his cheerleading leaves a lot to be desired. No kidding. That was the really sad part. Romney tries to get the crowd going, and ends up killing any enthusiasm they had. All it’s missing is the sound of crickets. Now THAT would have been a great way for MSNBC to doctor the tape: Romney: "come on now, Romney/Ryan, Romney/Ryan, Romney/Ryan! Crowd: (silence) \ ---

Here’s an easy one for your side, **Clothy**.

I hate when teachers do that. Unless the shirt is causing disruption, just teach your damn class. ---

Wow, you’re going easy on her. Everything you said plus stomp on the pieces, douse the pieces in a nasty caustic solution, after the gas urinate on the bag, feed the chunklets left from the firing squad to the research amoebas, blast all the amoebas into the sun. That would almost be harsh enough. Almost.
