Funny sort of revolution that, where we all go out and buy whatever bullshit he’s peddling and reduce the top marginal tax rates. Kinda slogans that a Ron Paul supporter would repeat, deep undercover in his cell at the union. ---

Watching Fox News today, just to giggle at them. Dick Morris was on O’Reilly, explaining why he’s really quite smart. Hannity had a fair and balanced election analysis with Ann Coulter. Hannity expressed his disgust with the blatant lies the Obama campaign told about Mitt. He warned that now that the Dems have lowered the bar on how much campaigns can lie about their opponent, future campaigns will be even sleazier. ---

He warned that now that the Dems have lowered the bar on how much campaigns can lie about their opponent, future campaigns will be even sleazier. He’s just laying the groundwork to justify Republicans’ preemptive retaliation in 2016. ---

Donald Trump can’t be a revolutionary, real revolutionaries have beards. Donald Trump has some sort of poor animal perched atop his head.
