Godfather politics._ She provided a link to a crazy conspiracy theory story that includes references to Joe Arpaio. The story ends with this:

Positive proof the woman in the video is evil:
She was an executive producer for Jack and Jill.

You’re making that up! Which is cool, because, like me, you are an Avenger, and its your job. However, if you aren’t, that’s even cooler, so a friendly “cite?” is offered, in the interest of karma-positive gloating.

Sorry. Not until the reader comments. And even then it wasn’t clear that the reader was taking the article seriously.

Mitt Romney tries to portray President Obama as being out of touch:
“We have a president, who I think is a nice guy, but he spent too much time at Harvard,”
Obama received one degree from Harvard. Spent three years there.
Romney received two advanced degrees and spent 4 years at, of all places, Harvard. He thought well enough of it that he also sent a couple of his sons to study there.
Harvard education only makes you an out of touch elitist if you are a Democrat it seems.

This is well-worn schtick for Romney.
Last time he went after the Republican nomination, he made a habit of complaining about “eastern elites.”
Sorry, douchebag, but when you have two advanced degrees from Harvard, when you founded and ran a Boston-based financial corporation, when you served as governor of Massachusetts, and when you are worth about a quarter of a billion dollars, you don’t get to complain about “eastern elites.”
Except, i guess you do, because there are apparently a load of Republican voters who are happy to swallow that shit.

Well, not really. Republicans seem decidedly nonplussed about swallowing his shit.

But they _will_ swallow his shit, and go to the polls and vote for him in November.

Long as he doesn’t win, I’m happy to see him spending hundreds of millions of dollars for no return.

Everybody likes happy endings. Especially at massage parlors.

Yeah, but conservatives are all self-loathing closet cases, so after the initial thrill of a satisfying sexual experience they then go and ban gay marriage or decide to blow up some brown skinned people and they’re back to their miserable selves.

Blowing up brown people is fun for them. And banning gay marriage is all about preventing their their boytoys from claiming any benefits or community property from them.

Eric Cantor has managed to upset his own party by donating 25 large to a super pac dedicated to ousting incumbents. Even [Republicans.](http://www.politico.com/news/stories/0412/74926.html)

I’m all for it. As I interpret it, women are going to be _required_ to fuck, in order to fertilize (and therefor not kill) their precious snowflake egg. This might convince me to move!
