My Sit Down With Mitt (Part II: The Convention)

    Ed Rice: Congratulations on your nomination Gov. Romney, that was quite the party you put on in Tampa.
    Mitt: Thank you Ed.
    ER: How about that Clint, that was quite the moment.
    Mitt: WHAT! That crazy old coot stole all my thunder. Nobody's talking about my message and how we once lived in the world of The Truman Show until Obama ruined it all.
    ER: The Truman Show?
    Mitt: Yeah, I really miss those days, everybody had a job, there wasn't any crime or wars, we all had nice homes and new SUVs.
    ER: But Gov. Romney, before Obama got into office we were fighting two wars, unemployment was at 10% and the housing market had already begun its collapse.
    Mitt: See, there you go, that's why I hate doing these interviews. I get all nostalgic and you people start in with your facts.
    ER: Speaking of facts sir, some people are saying that your party was pretty loose with them at the convention.
    Mitt: That was Paul, not me. Besides, I don't try to muddy up my message with any kind of facts or information. I only tell people what I intend to do, I don't find it useful to my campaign to tell them HOW I'm gonna do it. Duh.
    ER: I must say sir you had some very enthusiastic speakers down there in Tampa. Ann gave us a very good speech with her "I love you women" moment.
    Mitt: You liked that? I thought it was a little weird, but I've been assured that she loves men too.
    ER: I did notice a few people were missing from the podium.
    Mitt: Yeah, Bobby Jindal was supposed to speak but when Pat Robertson sent that hurricane to New Orleans he had to leave.
    ER: I was thinking about the former President and Vice-President.
    Mitt: George and Dick? They don't do much traveling anymore.
    ER: I thought that was just out of the country?
    Mitt: They're the old Republican party anyway, we're the new Republican party, and by golly we're determined to turn this country around by making the same mistakes and expecting a different result.
    ER: Thank you Governor, its refreshing to hear a little truth.

The Straw?

    Well now he's gone and done it. Could this be the straw that breaks the camels back?     I would think that most historians would agree that the last thing a presidential candidate should be doing is sitting in front of a computer at five in morning telling the world to check out this kickass new sex tape he just came across. That by itself might turn off a couple likely supporters but that's not what made so many other people upset. What Donald ultimately did is unforgivable to many, me included.     Americans take their celebrity sex tapes very seriously and he directed us to a lame ass tape taken from a reality TV show. How bogus is that? Hell, most people don't even think it's really sex and was just a stunt to draw viewers. Americans are used to top-of-line sex tapes, it's one of things we do best. You had half the adults in the country googling away for the next Pam and Tommy Lee but all they found was a frisky Ozzie and Harriott.That's not gonna win

All in a Days Work (part II)

    I know many will find this hard to believe but I spend a lot of time in church. Many different churches actually. From small churches out in the country, the kind that still have the tote board in the lobby that keeps track of attendance and donations, to big churches that take up a half a city block and in which I've actually gotten lost before. Most churches have security and/or fire systems in varying degrees of depth. Fire systems because jurisdictions require them in buildings where people gather and security due to the fact that some churches have sound and recording equipment that a lot of musicians would die for.     This week I had a call to make at a Freewill Baptist that, as Freewill Baptist churches go, is pretty big. When I called the Pastor to let him know I was on the way he said he would meet me there to unlock the door and my reaction was, cool, he's going to let me in to do my thing and I'll have an empty building with no impediments to get my work do

And Your Winner Is

    Who will be the next President?     When I look at polling one of the first ones that I cast out is a general election poll. They don't matter one iota because we use an electoral college to select our president. You can carry the popular vote and still lose, as we've witnessed before.     Using the Fox News interactive as of today Hillary has 205 electoral votes to Donalds 164 with 12 states undecided and 270 needed to win. The 12 undecided they have are Nev, Col, Ari, Iowa, Wisc, Mich, Ohio, Pa, Va, NC, Ga, and Fla.    538.com lists Wisc, Mich, Pa, and Vir as better than 80% to vote Hillary and Ga, Ari, Iowa are probably Trumps. That puts us at 264 to 197 leaving 5 states Nev, Ohio ,Fla, NC, and Col. All Hillary has to do is win one of those states. Even if it's just Nev and their 6 votes, it puts her at 270.
