Yes, it’s August already, which means the summer is just about over. How depressing. Even worse, we’re stuck with this presidential campaign until November. Good thing I never watch lice teevee, ‘cuz I think the ads would make my crazy(er). Especially the state and local races (I don’t imagine we’ll see much advertising for preznit here in NY, ‘cuz Obama has a huge lead, which means I should be free to vote for Gus Hall or something).<\/p>\n

You have to admire Mitt Romney, though. First he says the Palestinians are poor because of their “culture” of living under a military occupation and whatnot. Then he said that was nonsense – he never said anything about culture. Now he’s written an op-ed, saying that of course it’s all about culture, and he stands by what he said he didn’t say<\/a>.<\/p>\n

That’s a pretty impressive triple-take. And it won’t matter, because he gets to take all sides of a position depending on what crowd he’s talking to, and nobody (no “serious” journalists, at least) will call him on his bullshit. <\/p>\n

Between that, voter suppression laws, and the backing of the anonymously funded super PACs, I think the Republicans have a good shot at getting that rubber stamp they need in the White House.<\/p>\n
