You Can't Make Stuff Like This Up

Mitt Romney has flip-flopped so much, I'm surprised his campaign ads don't close with "I'm Mitt Romney, and I both approve and disapprove of this message."

• Mitt Romney has flip-flopped so much, I'm surprised his campaign ads don't close with "I'm Mitt Romney, and I both approve and disapprove of this message."

• Got to give thanks to all those corporate marketers for delaying their Christmas shopping campaigns until early August in an obviously patriotic refusal to infringe on the sanctity of the Fourth of July.

• President Bush continues to attack the Democrats for their "tax and spend" policy. Which is totally antithetical to his, "don't tax, spend anyhow" policy.

• Hillary Clinton has been accused of planting questions in Town Hall meetings. Of course she could always claim that what with the writers' strike, she was just trying to help out.

• Mayor Giuliani says Hillary Clinton, "cannot take a position and stick with it." As opposed to Rudy who is perfectly capable of sticking with a position, as long as the words "I do" aren't involved.

• With the respect he's demonstrated for rule of law and his country's Constitution, you have to wonder if Pakistani President Musharraf is being advised by Karl Rove.

• I'm still trying to figure out what it is exactly that Rudy Giuliani did. Besides climbing out of a hole and shaking his fist at the sky, that is.

• When asked what she thought about turning 60, Hillary Clinton said "I feel like a 30 year old," echoing her husband's sentiments exactly.

• Hillary spoke about how romantic her husband is, always bringing things home from his foreign travels. Fortunately most are treatable with low-grade antibiotics.

• The Christian Right is threatening to form a third party if Rudolph Giuliani is the Republican nominee. I have the perfect name, but I think "Taliban" is already taken. They could call it "God's Only Party" but the acronym might confuse people.

• Now that Michigan has moved its primary to January 15, New Hampshire is expected to move theirs to...TOMORROW.

• Thanksgiving is the best holiday. Probably because it's all about food and the only religion involved is football.

• What I'm most thankful for is George Bush having included me for the last six years in his "No Comic Left Behind" program. And the 22nd Amendment for Constitutionally keeping Americans from making the same mistake more than twice.
