I’m planning/hoping to go to see Bill “Karloff” Pratt tonight in his most famous role:
Month: October 2012
A President vs. an automaton
For a supposedly religious man, Mitt Romney sure does lie an awful lot. He’s taken every position on every issue there is, depending on the audience of the moment, and he denies that he’s ever changed his mind. The second half of his one term as governor here in Massachusetts, he was already off running for President, badmouthing the state in the process. And now, in all three debates, he’s been saying how wonderful we are and taking credit for it! Despite that, Mitt says he wants to abolish the Affordable Care Act, which was patterned after legislation that he signed. What’s wrong with this guy?
Watch The Choice 2012 on PBS. See more from FRONTLINE.
I haven’t watched Frontline’s The Choice 2012 documentary yet, but I will. The New Yorker is the only print magazine subscription we have, and its endorsement of Obama is well worth reading.
There is, come to think of it, one reason to vote for Romney. If he wins, Jon Hamm can play him in a TV movie bio-pic.
Keeping it simple
How did Mitt Romney make his money, and where did he put it? Answer those questions, and tell me he’s still the right guy to set economic policy.
For a more detailed discussion of what’s wrong with the Wall Street mentality, and its influence on Washington, watch this.
Bye Five Guys
Mark Evanier may have excellent experiences at Five Guys, but after tonight I’m giving up on the fast food chain. For the second time in a row I’ve had a problem. The first time I didn’t lose any money but this time I’m out almost half the cost of the order. The food isn’t healthy anyway, so it’s just as well. It’s not like I’m going to patronize McDonald’s instead. I’ve had better luck in the past with another Five Guys location, but it isn’t convenient to work. I’ll just give up take-out burgers.
Final Jeopardy!
Today’s Final Jeopardy answer was, “The creator of this comic strip did not like its 1950 change in title, believing it suggested insignificance.” All three contestants got the correct question, and Stephanie Jass has tied the women’s record of seven consecutive wins. So far she has won $147,570.
P.S. Stephanie lost on Wednesday.

I’ll explain this later.
