Editorial Masterbitch Theater: Tell Us How You Really Feel, Romney

Yesterday, Mother Jones brought attention to several surreptitiously-obtained videos from a Romney fund-raising event.

Short Weeks Somehow Feel Longer…

I know it’s one of those days you had to drag yourself out of bed and onto the job or the day’s responsibilities.  Even the thought of delicious cranberry salad or green bean casserole can’t console you, because there is still an entire layer of bullshit between you and the holiday.
