Mitt Romney's Job Creation Greatly Exaggerated

Mitt, hard at work.

I struggled a bit with the headline on this one. I guess Mitt Romney didn't exactly exaggerate as much as he lied by omission. Did the work Romney did result in as many as 100,000 jobs? Yes, sort of. Is that a net total? Not by along shot. It isn't unusual for polticians to lie. But what if they keep repeating it when they know that we know he's lying? I guess we'll see.

Romney on Jobs
Fehrnstrom says the 100,000 figure stems from the growth in jobs from three companies that Romney helped to start or grow while at Bain Capital: Staples (a gain of 89,000 jobs), The Sports Authority (15,000 jobs), and Domino’s (7,900 jobs).

Mitt Romney Packs Fudge

"Okay everyone, let me put on my glove, and pack some fudge!"

Is it wrong to say that Willard "Mitt" Romney is a fudge packer? Is it wrong to think that that particular double entendre is hilarious? Is it wrong that at (very nearly) 45 years old, this picture still cracks me up? Don't care. I'm laughing. Doesn't matter if it's appropriate.

Mittens is, apparently, running for president again. . .

Mitt Romney Wins in Maine

Hmm. For all the buzz about John McCain's resurgance, the see-saw has sawed (seed?) again. This time it's Mittens' turn (thanks to Rachel Maddow for "Mittens"). Good going, Willard! I'd rather see you in there anyway, as I believe there's a better chance that the Garden of Eden was in Missouri than that you will ever be President. Plus, it gives me more opportunities to run the Mitt Romney, Fudge Packer photo!

Mitt Romney: Fudge Packer

I'm sorry, I couldn't help it. This is a photo (I know not where it came) that has been sitting on my hard drive for several weeks. I think it was worth sharing.

UPDATE: From fudge to aw, fudge! Romney has a heckler.
