Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica
"Romney 2012: You are not entitled to food."
Saddest and funniest tweet in the last few minutes.

Video from private fundraiser where he disses about half the population.
A specific half, though. The 47% thing is basically a trope among the right. I hope I'm too pessimistic but I don't know that this has legs.

I'm pessimistic, too.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
But it's the independents that are up for grabs, right? It's not a large percentage of voters, but that's who people are grabbing for right now.

I assume it doesn't. I think lots of stuff I am personally outraged by flies well below the radar of contempt.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.
Borowitz has a good one: Much like Rebecca Black, Mitt Romney will be remembered for one terrible video.

Dear Aussie INS- your website is opaque. Following instructions (literate web people) my SIL and I both got hit with the $115 visa fee offer. My clueless mother managed to get the right $20 one. You suck. At least the savvy ones know they've been fucked and cancel out ops.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

Yeah. I'm not trying to win America's Next Top Cynic or anything, but isn't this just Reagan's welfare queen line in a different room? The "47% pay no income tax" thing isn't a secret, it's a talking point.

I think the key is that the people who have already been paying attention will be outraged and the people who haven't been paying attention will not notice.
