Yeah...well, it's true enough anyway. I sort of wish I never had...the relationships I thought I have are not the relationships I actually have. Although it was fun to smack that guy about the auto industry, though.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
I believe that Romney wants to be President for the same reasons that GWB wanted to be President: Daddy issues.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Does he just want to win because he is competitive?
More that, I think. I read or heard someone recently saying that he's most interested in success, which seems about right. He ended up so rich because he wanted to be the most successful businessman. He's running for president because he wants to be the most successful politician.
And I think his actual moral center is his religion, which he's not allowed to talk about on the campaign.

Oh that's hilarious. And vindicates my continued refusal to join Facebook
And my continued refusal to log in. I've not been on FB in six months or more.
Does MR want to be President because he wants to be wealthier? Does he just want to win because he is competitive? I can think of no other reasons.
Because it's the most powerful position in the world, and because Dad failed to become president. He's got to beat out his dad, and show the world that Romneys Are Awesome.
I'm guessing.
What kills me is that he appears to have no conviction at all. Charlie Pierce's column points out how thoroughly Romney has thrown his advisors under the bus. Which is funny, except that it means we have no idea what he'll do when he's in office. If nothing that he says sticks, how can we predict his behavior?
If I were Republican, I'd be more worried about Romney being a closet liberal than about Obama being a closet Muslim.

Great minds, Tom.

I think he wants to win simply because he feels he deserves it and not because he has any substantial ideas on what he wants to accomplish as president, which is very scary to me.

Argh. So, last week I forgot my laptop power cord. I was only here for one day so i managed. But I thought "that was stupid, make sure you oak it this week!" and I have a distinct memory of picking it up in my office and bringing it over to where I was packing....and I suspect it's still sitting there, because it's not in my bag. And this week I'm here three days. So I just had to run to RadioShack and spend $75 on a cord. Jesus.

I'm guessing you left the power chord in an oak tree. For the squirrels and chipmunks. It being compatible with the iAcorn Mini.

Well now that you have an extra one anyone, you can just leave it in your suitcase so it doesn't happen again, right?
