Per GI, this article will no longer be referring to New Jersey Governor Chris Christie as either “Sandwiches” or “Governor Sandwiches”, as sandwiches are delicious and nutritious, and Chris Christie is neither of those things. Henceforth, Governor Christie will be referred to as Governor Chris “Hamburgler” Christie, or just “Governor Hamburgler.” Thank you, and welcome to the Daily Sausage.
With The Dark Knight Rises, Christoper Nolan’s third and final Batman movie, releasing to theaters in the next few weeks, I have Batman on the brain. Consequently, when I take a look at Mitt Romney, I can’t help but see one of Batman’s classic villains, Two-Face.
Let us count the ways:
- Mitt went to the NAACP convention for the express purpose of getting booed by black people to drum up support from his racist-ass base. (MSNBC)
- There are wild conspiracy theories surrounding his appearance at the NAACP convention. (Huffington Post)
- Mitt stayed at Bain Capital three years longer than he said he did. (Boston Globe)
- Mitt claims to have “secret black supporters”. (TPM)
- And finally, he released an add accusing President Obama of running a dishonest campaign and spreading lies about Romney. (Huffington Post)
Mitt Romney is just a volcano fortress away from being an actual honest-to-god super villain. As it is, he’s just a pathological liar that’s pandering to his racist-ass base for votes by trolling black people.
Moving on, on Wednesday the House of Representatives voted to repeal the Affordable Care Act for the thirty third time. The total cost in Congressional time and taxpayer dollars so far: 89 hours, almost $50 million.
This time though, they managed to pick up five Democratic defectors. Now, if I told you five Democrats broke ranks to vote to repeal the Affordable Care Act, and I told you they came from four different states, what states would you guess? I’m willing to bet Utah, North Carolina, Arkansas, and Oklahoma would make everyone’s top ten. With friends like these, who needs anemones?
So, after a long hard day of repealing Obamacare, what does the GOP do? Talk about golf.
And oh, by the way, the Affordable Care Act is now popular with a majority of Americans.
In a must read article in The Atlantic, Judge Richard Posner, who as previously mentioned literally wrote the books on a great many topics in jurisprudence, has expounded on his recent ruling in a patent case between Apple and Motorola, and why there are too many patents.
