Ann Romney is the Hardest Worker in America

I have returned from Vegas. Somewhere around 10 thousand bumpy feet in the air I decided that I may never fly to Vegas again. God clearly hates it there, and he has taken it out on the jet stream over the city. It's fucking frightening. I was pretty sure we were going down both on our final descent into Vegas as well as take off out of there. Not cool, God.

But while I was away there were a couple of political things worth mentioning, cause I know how everyone is dying for me to talk about political stuff. However, I will say that my sister says she gets all of her news from this blog, so this is actually educational stuff.

So, George Zimmerman got arrested and charged. And I have a big question about this case. It's this: how does everyone know what side to be on?

In other words, how did conservatives all know that they were supposed to be anti Trayvon Martin and pro the guy who shot him?

I wonder about this on a lot of issues. How do they know so fast? Is there a memo that goes out? Shouldn't we all individually look at things and come up with our own individual opinion? How come ALL republicans are not for the unarmed kid that's dead. Strange.

You'd think that the totally not racist at all Republicans might want to take the black kid's side, just for appearance's sake. But alas, no. If it's black, they can't crack.

I have no idea if Zimmerman is going to get convicted. But I do know that no matter how much weed Trayvon smoked or how many times he said the N word or how much he loved grills, it doesn't change the fact that he wasn't carrying a gun that night, and the other dude was.

But I'm very interested in this "Stand Your Ground" law. In fact, it's been a bit of a brain buster for me, see if you can figure it out:

If you're busy standing your ground, at what point is the person you're standing your ground against standing his ground? It seems like sooner or later you're both allowed to stand your ground and it's a fight to the death. Florida is beyond Thunder Dome!

Okay, other political shit storm this week: Apparently, President Obama hates stay at home moms...or something. I was reading all of these articles about it today, but no one was printing what this lady Hilary Rosen (who is not a paid adviser to the President) actually said.

I did a google news search of her name and there were hundreds of articles. Not a single one printed her full statement. It was all about Ann Romney's response and Hilary's apology and they all quoted a single line from what she said, and it was this: "His wife has actually never worked a day in her life".

Well, finally I tracked down the full statement. Here it is:

“What you have is Mitt Romney running around the country, saying, 'Well, you know, my wife tells me that what women really care about are economic issues, and when I listen to my wife, that’s what I’m hearing.' Guess what? His wife has actually never worked a day in her life. She’s never really dealt with the kinds of economic issues that a majority of the women in this country are facing, in terms of how do we feed our kids, how do we send them to school, and why do we worry about their future.”

What an outrageous thing to say! I'm still not clear on where she's wrong there, but I'm sure some Republicans will tell me.
