AIR MITT

Air Mitt or should we say err Mitt (as in e-r-r) has surfaced in one of the more interesting press conferences held by Willard Mitt Romney. In fact, this past Saturday he was talking about the electrical fire on the plane which Mrs. Romney was flying and thank heaven everyone was okay, and he went on to say the problem with such a thing is that you have no place to go on a plane.  Well we knew that at Real Fox News.  But then he went on to say that “because you can’t open the windows for ouside oxygen and why haven’t they figured out how to do that.  And our answer would be because an open window or windows at 400-500 miles per hour would have some other logistical difficulties. Okay, we did say that Republican compassion is to compassion as Republican science is to science.  But really Mitt, power windows on a flying jet aircraft?  Seriously?

Honestly, It’s Good That Linda McMahon Is Running For Senate.

It’s good that Linda McMahon is running for senate.  It’s good for the people who were out almost a million dollars from the banks in 1975.  Of course, I’d be curious to know just what that computes in today’s dollars, in lost opportunity, etc.  But it’s good for them because she’s planning on paying it back.  It’s good for all the printers who get her business.  Many printers have benefited over the years from her in New Hampshire.  More recently it appears some in CT because they would not if she wasn’t running for senate.  And it’s good for the state of CT because she is now caught up in our taxes in the “luxury mansion.”  Good for her.  And to repeat, it is honestly good she is running for senate.  But of course if she were all that honest she wouldn’t have had to run for senate to pay back all those debts of those people who trusted her that she burnt; to pay the taxes she had due.  And maybe she’ll even get around retroactively to giving her former employees health care and benefits they never had.  In fact if we could keep Linda McMahon running for office and losing, we think she could do a lot of good.

SHANA TOVA!!!

 Real Fox News wishes all its readers and fans a Shana Tova, a happy and healthy sweet new year!

FRIDAY FAUXLOSOPHY

CONVENTIONAL FACT CHECKING

The fact checkers have spoken after both political conventions and there seems no doubt that the Democrats ideology has been framed by the facts and the Republican facts were framed by the ideology.

WORDS OF A FEATHER

We must apologize again for plagiarizing in advance, as we did yesterday to the great Stephen Colbert. In the USA Today published September 6, I had the following submission;

http://www.usatoday.com/news/opinion/letters/story/2012-09-05/are-you-better-off-4-years/57616604/1

 Clobert closed last night saying “Mitt, you just keep demanding that Americans answer the question are you better off than you were 4 years ago. But just don’t answer it yourself, because that would mean releasiung more than 2 years of ur tax returns.

Conservatives want to be John Wayne

Hey, because conservatives aren’t all that bad, when it comes to the defending in this country, they all want to be John Wayne. You know, play a soldier but never for a minute actually be one.

Are you better off than...

“Are you better off than you were 4 years ago” is a question that Mitt Romney has every right to ask, and the Democrats are going to have to answer. That said, my problem with Mr. Romney is not his query but  his approach, as he constantly uses  the word “you” in describing economic challenges, and he never, but never uses the word “we”. And I can’t help but wonder if that is because he personally is much better off than he was 4 years ago. But the American people can’t get that answer because unlike every presidential candidate in recent memory, including his own father, McCain, Obama, Kerry, Bush, Clinton et al, he has not released a representative number of his own tax returns. It’s as if someone had regularly shouted down Vietnam War protesters and then avoided the draft himself. Oh wait, Mitt Romney did that too. Really Mr. Romney, your lack of candor is taxing our patience, because regarding Republican presidential candidates we are certainly not more informed than we were 4 years ago.
