    Well look at what I got in an email

    This email was sent by: Romney for President Inc., 500 Cummings Center, Suite 4400, Beverly, MA 01915.

    This message reflects the opinions and representations of Our Principles PAC, and is not an endorsement by Mitt Romney. You are receiving this email because you signed up as a member of Mitt Romney’s online community on 2014-11-27 11:05

    Look at who the reply email is sent to;

    support@mittromeny.com 

    The email is a hit piece on Trump, full of lies and manipulations.

    Did you know since 1999, Donald Trump has changed his position on abortion FIVE TIMES. Just in the last year, Planned Parenthood has applauded Trump for asserting that he is, “pro-choice in every respect.”
     
    In fact, Trump believes his own sister, who is a Federal Circuit Court Judge, would make a “phenomenal” Supreme Court Judge even after she struck down New Jersey’s ban on partial-birth abortions. 
    Confused by his many stances? You are not alone in wondering where Donald Trump stands on abortion.
     
    Voting on Tuesday? Ask yourself, “how many more times will Donald Trump change his position on abortion to court votes?” 
     
    Sincerely, 
     
    Katie Packer
    Our Principles PAC

        I was just musing about the people over there that are desperately trying to find Trump deodorant and underpants to buy in support his campaign, absolutely freaking out if posts supporting Cruz were to appear (even as an April fool’s joke). Probably get labeled as traitors for the rest of time in the minds of some.

    Good morning! I’m not totally awake yet, but working on it. I think I’ll go get some coffee.

    At least it’s Friday – TGIF.

    I’m looking at footage of Norway on my television. Beautiful place, but can you imagine living in a place where it is winter for so long, and dark? It’s bad enough where I live.

    Happy April to all of you. I don’t have any jokes, other than today’s photograph – April 1, 1997, in Boston. It’s overcast here today; we had a lot of rain last night, it will be in the 40’s today, and we will get SNOW tonight! About an inch. And more snow on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday, although it will be warm enough to melt off quickly. I tell people that we always get snow the first week of April, and this year it will be more than once.

    I hope the weather is better where you live.

    APRIL SNOW
    Daver Austin

    Will it be the last?
    I’ve wished for it all winter –
    No early spring snow –
    The Gods haven’t heard my plea
    Ground is covered already

    Out with the shovel!
    On with my heavy warm coat
    ‘Whistle while you work’
    The old Disney song comes back
    But I’m out the door cursing!

      Which, btw, I haven’t been hearing as much about him being the only Christian lately from the campaign. Could it be that it won’t benefit him as much from here on out?

          She accused Allen West of grabbing her breast.
          She accused the NYPD of knocking her down, I believe that time she said the NYPD were more violent than the protesters.
          She accused this Dice guy.
          Not that I like Charles Johnson but he says she accused him of hacking her website.
          Now the campaign manager.

          I think she should have followed in her father’s footsteps and been a film writer.

        I can find eight roads to glory for Michelle.

        1) Accused Corey Lewendowski of grabbing her with such force she was almost thrown to the ground like a rag doll and left with bruises on her arm. This incident in particular is the worst thing that has ever happened to her in her entire life other than he dad’s death.

        2) Accused Leonardo DiCaprio’s minder of pushing her out of the way.

        3) Accused NY police of knocking her to the ground.

        4) Accused Chuck Johnson of hacking her email.

        5) Accused Mark Dice of harassment.

        6) Accused Allen West of groping her.

        7) Claimed RFK got “handsy” with her.

        8) Claimed Family guy Creator hit on her when she was a teenager.

      Technology is not his friend.

      I found that out when it came to the logistics of the artwork. I drew my part first and then shipped him the strips. I wanted him to fill in the panels I left blank, and simply scan and email me back the finished strips.

      I asked him to do this because I did not want to be responsible for handling his finished artwork. Partly because I knew it would be worth thousands of dollars. Partly because I knew he wanted to auction it off for charity. And partly because my UPS driver has a tendency to leave my packages in the dirt at the end of our driveway. (I could just imagine the email I’d have to write the next day: “Dear Mr. Watterson – The first comic strip you’ve drawn in 20 years was ravaged by a squirrel.”)

      So this left doing it my way. Digitally.

      And this is when I found out that Bill Watterson is not comfortable with scanners or Photoshop or large email attachments. In fact, by the end of the process, I was left with the distinct impression that he works in a log cabin lit by whale oil and hands his finished artwork to a man on a pony.

      So I proposed working out our technological issues over the phone. But he didn’t want to.

      At first I thought it was because he didn’t own one. Or have electricity. But then I remembered we were emailing.

      And so I soon came to the sad realization that he probably just didn’t want me to have his phone number. Which was smart. Because I would have called that man once a week for the rest of his life.

      And so we worked through the technological problems via email.

      And unlike every other technological problem I’ve ever had, it was not frustrating.

      It was the highlight of my career.

    Blue Collar Betrayal By BOTH Parties – Here’s Why American Workers Want Trump

    Another horrific statistic that will once again be promptly swept beneath the Mainstream Media rug, came out today.

    Nearly 30,000 manufacturing jobs were lost last month. 30,000 jobs, 30,000 lives altered, 30,000 families whose way of life vanished to some other worker in another country overseas.

    Those jobs were once considered the beating heart of America. If so, that heartbeat is nearly non-existent, and the patient is crashing before our very eyes…WE are crashing.

      I got contacted a few weeks ago to go to some other country and teach 100+ people how to do some high tech job that has high pay here in the US, that they could do poorly for coins. I said, ‘No, but thank for calling.’
      These offshore companies are driving wages down in the tech sector in strange directions. Jobs that actually require first hand experience are being driven down, but jobs that don’t require more than a few classes or a certificate of learning are up. It’s almost like business owners are being told what is important and believing the dumbest things….

        Yeah, as I posted before, people sweat BBs over losing their medical records to the Chineeor Russians yet there are companies in I dia and the Windward Islands who do a lot ( with more every day being sent there) of hospital and physician transcription. Then there are those overseas services that do things like read x-rays or provide other realtime services to physicians/hospitals after or even during business hours. The stuff is sent to them over the net and saves the provider having to employ a staffer onsite , much cheaper this way.

    Well, you read about this stuff and then one day it happens in your family. My son is getting married in a few weeks, and we are getting a new grandson, a first grader. The young man is super intelligent, very well read, has a vocabulary many adults should envy, and relentless curiousity.

    He wanted to discuss global warming with my son over a recent meal. His teacher has done an excellent job of brainwashing him. My son explained, using fixed examples of the difference in temperatures during the era of the dinosaurs, and how much colder it was just two hundred years ago, explained that climate always changes, and no one can pretend to have the answers and specifics based on what man does.

    Nope. Not buying it. He is confident that the teacher he admires so much, who teaches him such fascinating things, would never lie to him, so he doesn’t believe his mom and soon to be step father, who he has on a big tall pedestal right now.

    Not surprising at all, his school is the best public school in the city, and full of very wealthy people who like to be just exactly positioned on the oh so important issues.

    I hate the American school system. Why is it that we allow total brainwashing in our schools?
