The DNC created a couple of ads to needle Mitt Romeny’s $100,000 dressage horse that’s competing in the upcoming Olympics. The opted to drop those ads when Ann Romney whined that they were part of her MS therapy. I wonder if Blue Cross pays for that? I guess we’ll never know, because Ann says they’ve given “you people” all the damn information about the Romney lifestyle and financial situation that we’re gonna get. Sadly for Ann, the Labor Super Pac isn’t laying off, and they plan to make the Romney horsie an issue. Most damning will be the fact that Mitt strapped the horse to the top of his trailer before embarking on a cross-country trip.

It’s amazing how touchy these rich people are. I mean, if I was worth a quarter billion dollars or so, I think I’d be pretty laid back. I also wouldn’t be running for President (for one thing, I’d never make it through the vetting process). It’s starting to look as if Mitt might not make it through the vetting process either. Or maybe this is all a ploy, and when he eventually releases a few more years, his taxes will just show your average rich guy not paying much in the way of taxes, and he can say, “see, nothing there.”

Joe Arpaio really wants to see the microfilm.

“Show. Us. The. Mircofilm,” he demanded. “I said it a while back. Show. Us. The. Microfilm. And we’ll all go back home and forget this! Where is the microfilm? Where is the microfilm?

I’m not sure what microfilm he’s talking about. Presumably it has something to do with Obama’s birth certificate and “secret codes” and whatnot. But I didn’t realize it was microfilm he was after. Maybe he’s been watching 1950s spy movies or something.

Much cooler around here today, and it’s only going to be in the low 70s tomorrow. Guess I better dig out my winter jacket.
