Mitt Romney, tested, intelligent, get-it-done, turnaround CEO Governor and strong leader from outside Washington, is a better candidate than McCain & Giuliani to ensure that America’s strength is maintained so we can meet a new generation of global challenges…but what’s up with his hair? I couldn’t possibly vote for a guy with hair like his.

Our Lady of Pizza

Compare and contrast – the Virgin Mary appearing in a pan of pizza/the Anglican Communion being torn apart because some bishops allow the blessing of same sex unions. Why is it easier for people to see Mary’s face in pizza dough than it is for people to see that queers are children of God too?
Yet another reason why same sex marriage is important…

Today’s Boston Globe reported that several of our man Mitt’s forebears practiced polygamy. Like, hello. He’s a Mormon. The multiple wives thing was something that kept getting them run out of town.

Can you imagine what would happen if parents were allowed to pick and choose exactly what is taught in public schools? What a hash it would make of education if every parent could trot out their own personal hobby horse to mold the curriculum. The world is flat, mice have no bones, the mere mention of same [...]

It pays to be nice. The fellow behind the ski rental counter shook my hand and handed me a $3 off coupon…the guy running the liftline told me his favorite combination of trails (easy skiing, not very crowded, amazing views)… the woman at the health club piled us high with extra towells and the kids [...]

Apres Ski
The most important part of skiing is the social aspect. In addition to the who skis with whom part, there’s the just plain hanging out part.

Mitt’s Not Here Anymore (Not that he was around a lot to begin with…)

With his blown dry hair, lantern jaw, steely gaze and commanding demeanor, he comes across as the quintessential Presidential candidate, circa 1952. So much so that it’s hard to tell if his web site directed at younger voters, mymanmitt.com is real or a put-on. Turning ordinary people into extraordinary Mittheads? (Is a Mitthead something one would [...]
Of Baghdad Bombings & the Boston Globe
Posted in Personal/Political on February 13, 2007 | Leave a Comment »
Yesterday explosions at two markets in Baghdad killed 67 people and wounded 155. There was no mention of the bombings on the front page of today’s Boston Globe. Marketplace bombings in Baghdad have become so common that reports of them are tucked inside and below the fold. It is a sign of brokenness, of the deep, unspeakable tragedy of [...]
