Dressed as Thurston Howell III, and accompanied by his wife, dressed as Lovey, the Romneys sailed through the newly-cut inlet created when Sandy washed away numerous homes on the Jersey coast. A small crowd of Emergency Responders and local residents initially thought this was some sort of Halloween joke.
But the hearty Jersey appreciation for a good laugh soon turned to renewed shock, and then deep disgust as Romney ordered $5,000 worth of dollar Flip-Flops to be dumped on top of the storm debris at the on-ramp to the destroyed Mantoloking Bridge.
Ignoring at least fourteen thousand shouts of "Getthefuckouttahere", Romney raced through a campaign speech in his notorious speed-freak delivery style, insisting that his Flip-Flop stunt proves that private corporations and charitable donations are all that are needed to deal with a disaster of this magnitude.
"What do 'beach people' need more than a pompous flip-flopping politician?", shouted Romney. "Once you have your own Flip-Flops, my Administration will leave you entirely alone to pull yourself up by your own damn Flip-Flop straps!"
Stunned residents in knee-high fishing boots/turned disaster recovery gear shook their heads and turned back to the Obama/Christie heartfelt attempt to address this disaster together.
Mitt and Mrs Howell III were last seen waving the queens wave as they sailed away from the pile of crap they had dumped on the devasted survivors of Sandy. Romney was last heard yelling FEMA/AMEF/FEMA/AMEF!!! AMEF is apparently the inside joke in the Romney/Ryan camp, and stands for American Millionaires to Eradicate all Funding.

Romney dug his grave tonight with American women when he strolled out with all of his arrogance and entitled expectation of servitude. Romney answered the serious question posed by a young American regarding equality and justice with a glib dismissal, insinuating that her only real value resided in her ability to have dinner on the table when her Republican husband eventually returned home from his superior occupation.

In Mitt Romney's world, women are disposable. Women are servants to be used and discarded. Women are not eligible to enter the spheres of politics, business, or heaven forbid the afterlife without the express permission of the Taliban-like structure of the current Republican Party.

It's not just women, either. Modern men who care about justice and decency are equally targeted by this extremist Republican ideology. Men welcome and love their children. Men build gardens and wood-fired hearths and sourdough breads and share wholeheartedly in this beautiful life that the Mitt Romneys of the world degrade and despise because it does not register on the balance sheets of the 1%.

This election is critical. I want a world that appreciates all of the diversity and beauty of America. I am first-generation American. I have all-access passes ranging from US Presidents to REM, the Rolling Stones, and the grow-local-feed-the-hungry-movement.

A Romney presidency would undo everything we have spent our lives working towards. Think of anything that means the world to you. OK. Romney would kill that.

Vote. Vote for Democrats. We are the change we wish to see in the world. Peace.

Call your Senators.

Roy Blunt, blockheaded Republican Senator from Missouri, has attached an amendment to the Transportation Bill which would permit any employer to refuse to provide healthcare to their employees based on religious beliefs or moral objection. The endgame is the overturning of Griswold.

The DailyKos Jeffs have dubbed the Blunt Stunt: Where The Rubbers Meet The Road.

Healthcare for women must not be attached to Transportation or Farm Animal Bills.

Call your Senators. Any Senator who votes Aye for Blunt must consider that the taxpayers will decide to revoke their entire health care plan. On Moral Grounds, of course. Neanderthals had their day. No need for taxpayers to extend life support to extinct bigoted Congresscritters.

Stop the Blunt Amendment. Call your Senators. Tell them that, as their Employers, you Morally Object to providing healthcare to your Employees (Senators) who support the Blunt bill.

Thanks.

I stared in the burning pools of your eyes.
I respected the rage in your face.
You almost spit. You said 'Fuck this shit'.
As you sat down with white girls
to talk about race.
It took a lot for you not
to walk out of the place.

But you stayed, and we waded
through anger and shame.
Through passing, and privilege, and power and pain.
Humiliation, defiance, survival and blame.
And the struggle to get up and keep trying
To face the racist lying.
