Sunday Morning, Mad Housewife, Revenge Of The Fallen, Keep Posting Well she's miffed anyway. I tried Mad Housewife "Sweet Red" this past week. I like the concept, and besides everyone knows "If Mamma ain't happy ain't nobody gonna be happy". This isn't communion wine, and you won't start confessing, but it will loosen your tongue. This marketing concept reminds me of the saying, save the drama for your mamma. This wine isn't for your high maintenance drama queen. It's for the housewife who knows how to multitask, but chooses not to. A day in the life of a mad housewife - involves monotony, broken up with feverish fantasies of escape from domestic tranquility. Housewifery may not drive you to drink, but you will definitely be familiar with the layout of the adult beverage aisle in your local supermarket.
Check out Zombie Housewives of the Apocalypse"We want to thank all of you for being so supportive of this insane project of zombie housewives. The book is going to print this spring, so expect to be hearing more about it as it evolves. After all, 2012 is the end of the world, and the zombie housewives will show you how very painless it is...." End Quote.
Remember Christine O'Donnell's pitch to Delaware voters? Christine O'Donnell: I'm not really a witch. It looks like Mitt Romney, is taking a page from Christine O'Donnell's campaign play book.
Mitt Romney, I'm not really a Vulture Capitalist. I'll sum it up, Mitt Romney doesn't like to have to defend himself in the republican primary. It's okay if Mitt Romney attacks his opponents, it's not alright for them to attack him back. Mitt Romney: I expected this kind of attack from Barack Obama. Really? Then you should be prepared to defend yourself in the republican primary. If Mitt Romney can't withstand having his record at Bain Capital vetted now, he's not bullet proof for the general election. Mitt Romney has highlighted his tenure at Bain Capital during his stump speech, that makes it a fair avenue of inquiry. Up until now apparently we are all supposed to believe that you can't question the practices of "Bain Capital" because that's equivalent to attacking the Free Market. When did Bain Capital become the Free Market? That a pathetic straw-man argument. I don't remember "Vulture Capitalist" being a problem when it was used to describe Meg Whitman. How does this kind of campaign strategy work out? I seem to recall that Christine O'Donnell lost to Chris Coons her democrat opponent, in her bid for U.S. Senate. So there's that.
Profitable failures In his campaign for president, Romney has championed free markets and vowed to shrink the role of government. The Republican has argued that his business acumen makes him the best candidate to fix the nation's economy and bring down the stubbornly high unemployment rate. Romney's opponents point to his business career as evidence that he is willing to cut jobs and benefits. The story of Bain's failed investment in the Kansas City mill offers a perspective on a largely overlooked chapter in Romney's business record: his firm's brush with a US bailout.
It seems like a clear choice between the candidate that sticks his finger in the wind or the candidate that stands like a rock. "In matters of style, swim with the current; in matters of principle, stand like a rock" Thomas Jefferson.
Lady Liberty, pop quiz who said, Give Me Liberty or Give Me Death? Hint, it wasn't Mitt Romney. Mitt Romney has a problem with L words. He's been called a Liberal, a Liar, lately a corporate raider aka a Liquidator. Danny Devito played a corporate raider in the movie "Other People's Money" his character's name was Larry The Liquidator. Mitt Romney just won the New Hampshire republican primary. The granite state's motto is "Live Free or Die". I think New Hampshire just got hustled by a hustler, who is trying to run the table, on his republican primary candidate rivals. Not unlike the character in the movie "The Color of Money" starring Paul Newman "Limousine Liberal". There are so many movie references to Mitt Romney's Bain Capital tenure, I don't think I will be able to cover them all. Newt Gingrich accused Mitt Romney of trying to buy the office of the President of the United States. "He doesn't tell the truth" Gingrich said. Mitt Romney's lack of veracity has also been pointed out by Governor Rick Perry, Romney's Remedy. Senator John McCain just endorsed Mitt Romney, here is a video of John McCain going through Mitt Romney's Liberal Laundry List. Meanwhile Newt Gingrich is going to release an attack ad against Mitt Romney titled "The King of Bain". I decided to look up the dictionary definition of the closest spelling to Bain. Bane definition, a person or thing that causes misery or distress ( esp a bane in of one's Life). Mitt Romney's not really popular with (L)BGT either.
Money doesn't have an agenda, money doesn't care if you have a job or if you don't. Wall Street has turned into the kind of financial industry, that has learned how to manipulate capital to keep money flowing into their own pockets - crony capitalist. Yeah, I've seen that movie too.
The Journal analysis shows that in total, Bain produced about $2.5 billion in gains for its investors in the 77 deals, on about $1.1 billion invested. Overall, Bain recorded roughly 50% to 80% annual gains in this period, which experts said was among the best track records for buyout firms in that era.
The idea that Wall Street cares if jobs are being created on Main Street is belied by TARP, bailouts, and stimulus money, it's not free market capitalism if you turn to the public sector for a bail out. In the end it's not about Money itself, it's in the way you use it.
LSU vs Alabama 7:00 PM CT, New Orleans, Louisiana, Mercedes - Benz Superdome. ESPN & ESPN 3.
LSU is favored by 1 and 1/2 points.
UPDATE:Warner Wolf, of Imus in the Morning and 77WABC, had predicted Alabama for 2012 BCS win. Alabama would beat the point spread, and predicted the final score 13-10. Final score 21-0.
FP Foreign Policy:When President Barack Obama announced on Oct. 21 that he would withdraw all U.S. troops from Iraq by Dec. 31, his top advisors contended that since the Bush administration had signed the 2008 Status of Forces Agreement (SOFA), both administrations believed that all troops should be withdrawn by the end of the year. This was part of the Obama administration's drive to de-emphasize their failed negotiations to renegotiate that agreement and frame the withdrawal as the fulfillment of a campaign promise to end the Iraq war.
Imus guest this morning, Frank Rich, stated that Barack Obama's foreign policy hasn't been a complete disaster, and anyway Americans are not focused on foreign policy. Americans are focused on the economy and unemployment. He stated that Rick Perry, wants to invade Iraq. Uh no Frank, he wants to clean up the mess, the Obama administration has made of U.S. foreign policy. The question isn't whether we are going to end up back in Iraq, the question is when. We are a petroleum based "economy" and the stability of Iraq effects our national security. Apparently the present administration playing politics with our national security put's Obama's failure to negotiate a status of forces agreement a plus in Frank Rich's estimation.
The only republican primary candidate that answered the question correctly, during last Saturday night's ABC debate, about our foreign policy in regards to Iraq was Governor Rick Perry.
"The idea that we allow the Iranians to come back into Iraq and take over that country, with all of the treasures, both in blood and money, that we have spent in Iraq- because this president wants to kowtow to his liberal leftist base, and move out those men and women. He could have renegotiated that time frame. I think it is a huge error for us," Perry said at the debate, sponsored by ABC. News/Yahoo!/WMUR-TV. Read more here at CBS News Political Hotsheet.
