Ann Romney Doesn’t Understand How the Economy Works

In pivot to Obama, Romney’s real work begins
WASHINGTON — Mitt Romney has shrugged off b-list contenders to position himself as the Republican nominee, but now he has a tougher challenge: outmaneuvering a well-organized, better-funded US President Barack Obama.

Rosen vs. Romney and The Reverse Triple Salchow War on Women
I cannot be sussed to write a summary of The Faux Outrage of the Day aka The Dawn of the Obama War on Motherhood. It’s too stupid. Luckily, Charles Johnson of Little Green Footballs has already done so: Another day, another completely fake right wing outrage. Today’s trumped-up nonsense from…
