Predictably, Fred Thompson has decided to run for President.
Why I have no idea...he is promising the same things as all the other guys "I'll be more Reagan-esque than Reagan, I'll-marry-some-harridan-named-Nancy-if-I-have-to".
I guess...that Thompson's idea is to run as a more authenticthan all the other witchburning grass-eating small gummint fanatics in the race.
Authenticity as all seven of my readers know, is one of those dangerous Orwellian terms that is supposed to obscure and confuse rather than elucidate in any way.
Well anyway, he joins a group of presidential aspirants conspicuous for their lack of ideas so he'll be in jolly company at least.
These guys have gotten tiresome and repetitive and the big show is still seven months away.

Romney proposes
to donate his salary as President to charity.
Gotta love the Former Viceroy's presumptuous willingness to spend lavishly of money he doesn't have yet.
I mean think about it, some mainstream charity gets 400 large a year, whilst the rest of us would labor under Romney's tedious stunt driven superficial style of governance for four long empty years.
Is that a bargain or what????

The Boston Globe reports
that Former Governor Romney has bought himself a thirty point lead in Iowa at the moment.
All well and good, but Zogby reports that Barack Obama would crush Romney like an eggshell in a head to head matchup.
Ah bu we are a long way from election day aren't we?

Two more for the road....
Arkansas Governor and GOP presidential candidate Mike Huckabee thinks the shallow end of the pool isn't quite full enough. Accordingly, he has asserted that is "room for more" in the nine man republican presidential roster.
This is a not so veiled reference to Former Senator Fred Thompson and Ex-House Speaker Newt Gingrich who are rumored to be piling into the race for the White House.
That'll raise the republican field to some eleven contenders (and who knows we haven't gotten final word from Chuck Hagel or the bones of the late Bourke Hickenlooper), each more mediocre and bereft of ideas than the last.
Clearly, the only response to the existential blight of the republican party is to keep throwing ever more conservatives into the fray and hope someone morphs into Achilles overnight.
Just what adding two more drearly orthodox conservative nimrods to the ballot is supposed to do for the rest of us is a mystery indeed.
Fred Thompson is supposed to bring some Reaganesque tinseltown glamor to the race on the basis of his movie and TV career. It is just too bad he looks and sounds like an old shopworn bullfrog. It is hard to imagine Fred Thompson on horseback backing up Errol Flynn in "The Santa Fe Trail".
Gingrich on the other hand is a rock star, he is movement conservatism's idea of the Nitzschean super-man.
That is to say, Speaker Newt is vain, pushy, self righteous,shrill, neurotic and a smug insufferable troll as well.
Rock star...indeed, hell the man could tour as Newt Gingrich and his all Ex-Wife Band. He is also a veritable gaffe machine sooner or later he'll shoot his pie hole off in some appalling way over some issue over which he knows exactly nothing.
As I said, don't see what either of them bring to the table. Anyway, movement conservatism is dying in this country, it has promised itself to death and spent money like a gambler with a brain tumor.
Clearly the movement has decided to expire in a crowded noisy room full of as many quack doctors as possible.

Mit sez "I'm Not Anti-Gay"
The AP reports that Mitt wants his future serfs to know that his opposition to same sex marriage shouldn't be confused with homophobia on his part.
hard to figure out just why the former Viceroy had to say this, it won't reassure gays nor will the hard core wowsers in the GOP base like it either, that crowd won't be happy til all queers in the USA are behind barbed wire.
So I guess, Romney makes these pointless statements to immunize himself against the accusation of intolerance from the liberals...why he is so concerned about our outrage I have no idea.
Or maybe his dessicated conscience is bothering him, chronic opportunists often suffer from indigestion of the soul.

Is there is some way we can deport Romney?
Or legally run him out of town on a rail?
Honestly, the leaves haven't even turned yet and he is already bashing the Commonwealth in commercials that will no doubt be beamed into Southern NH via Boston television stations.
I say it's time for the former Viceroy to put up or shut up, if he HATES Massachusetts so damn much, let him decamp for Royal Oak Michigan or Epsom Circle New Hampshire.
And if he won't go voluntarily, let us all chip in and buy him a ticket!
It is all very appalling and utterly predictable, the man has the mentality of a middle school bully.
I'm under no illusions here though, vast fortunes have been made in the barbaric lands over the Berkshires via Massachusetts-bashing, as a means to enrage the GOP base it's a sound tactic.
But it's all so damn childish...and anyway aren't we all sick of the boy man we've already got in White House?
