So Many Things to Do Before the RNC Convention
I’m redoing my breasts and I timed my surgery around it because I wanted to make sure I wasn’t going to be recovering during that time.
“Mary,” a high-end professional escort interviewed in Tampa, who is gearing up for the Republican National Convention at the end of August. “Mary” has also revamped her web site to offer not just sex but “experiences.”
Yes, Romney Really Did Introduce Ryan as the ‘Next President of the United States’
Does it get any worse? First Mitt picks a frickin’ aircraft carrier for his big announcement. Hmmmm…why does that ring a bell? Oh yeah, MISSION ACCOMPLISHED!!!
Then he introduces his new running mate, Sen. Paul Ryan, as “the next president of the United States.” Next, after his people offstage tell him what a stooge he is, he interrupts Ryan’s big moment to correct himself.
The two of them look like they’re sharing a suit. Mitt got the tie and Ryan got the jacket. Maybe if they shared a brain, Mitt would finally have half of one.

Gov. Rick Scott is Confused
$888,317
The tab Gov. Rick Scott has handed Florida taxpayers less than halfway through his term to defend lawsuits brought against such ALEC-inspired policies as drug testing of people on public assistance, vote suppression efforts, the ability of pediatricians to inquire if there are guns in the home and if so, how they are stored, etc. Scott defended the expense by saying, “If you do conservative things in Florida you get sued.” Scott’s definition of conservative seems to be that the more government does, the better.
Coulter: The Point of Hannity’s Show is to Elect Romney
Anyone who donates to Mitt Romney, and I mean the big donors, ought to say if Andrea Saul isn’t fired and off the campaign tomorrow, they are not giving another dime, because it is not worth fighting for this man if this is the kind of spokesman he has…There’s no point in you doing your show, [emphasis added] there’s no point in going to the convention and pushing for this man if he’s employing morons like this.
Ann Coulter, exploding on the Sean Hannity Show over another gaffe from the Romney campaign, but also putting to rest the notion that FOX News is anything but a vehicle for advancing Republicans and the conservative agenda. When she said that if Romney can’t run a better campaign then there is no point in Hannity doing his show, she acknowledged that the purpose of Hannity’s show is to elect Romney and other Republicans.
Postal Service Can Brave Rain, Sleet, Snow, Even Dog Bites — But Not Congress
Normally, this is the kind of number-based story that would go in our Enumerati section. If it were, it would look something like this:
60— Number of bills Congress has introduced to rename post offices, 17% of all bills passed
0— Number of bills Congress has introduced to address the Post Office’s insolvency
But the story needs more explanation, and ABC’s Amy Bingham reported the infuriating facts.
It’s not the Post Office that’s broken. It’s Congress.
In the 18 months the 112th Congress has been sworn in, the House has introduced 60 bills to rename post offices. Thirty-eight have passed the House and 26 have become law. During those 18 months, the House has produced 151 laws, 17 percent of which have been to rename post offices, according to Congressional Democrats.
Not a single bill has come to the House floor aimed at reforming a Postal Service, which is bleeding billions of dollars because of Congressional mandates.
What Bingham meant when she said “bleeding billions of dollars because of Congressional mandates” is something most Americans don’t know or understand. The reason the United States Postal Service (USPS) is in trouble is not because people pay bills online and it’s not because postal employees aren’t as service-oriented as the private sector (a claim of which I am unconvinced), and it’s damn sure not because of unions.
The reason the postal service is failing is because Congress set it up to do so in 2006.
