Mitt Romney’s sworn testimony in a post-divorce lawsuit against Staples founder Tom Stemberg was unsealed today at Norfolk Probate and Family Court.
The suit was filed in 1990 by Stemberg’s ex-wife, Maureen Sullivan Stemberg, who sought to amend the couple’s financial agreement after Staples went public in 1989 and began trading at 10 times the stock value she had received in the divorce a year earlier.

Staples was founded with backing from Bain Capital while Romney was at the helm.

More details beneath the fold...

Although I've been a member here since 2006, I rarely write diaries. Instead I prefer to lurk, being educated by those smarter/wiser/more knowledgable, and to participate in the community by commenting, as well as helping in GOTV activities during election years.

You are in the the 78th Child Diary of the Liveblog of the 2011 Egyptian Uprising and other uprisings spreading throughout the Mideast. We stand with our Egyptian friends and their courageous struggle for freedom.

DO NOT REC THIS DIARY! Rec the Mothership HERE

(The idea is to keep the Mothership visible on the rec list, with links therein to the child diaries where we can discuss the events. This prevents multiple liveblog diaries taking up slots on the rec list.)

"I’m paid to post dis-information online."

That’s what he said to us. And he said it with the sneer that can only come from the curled lip of a teenager proud of doing something kind of "bad."

I don't post diaries very often, although I comment frequently.

But after watching the (expected) self-analysis go back and forth about why the Dems lost the House, I haven't seen this yet.

The reason why I have voted in every election since 18, and the reason why I vote Democrat is because I still hold out hope (but admittedly, not much) that the Democrats are more likely to help preserve our democracy.

Wow. Someone is getting fired this week.

For those who haven't seen it yesterday, Republican California gubernatorial candidate Meg Whitman (ex-CEO, eBay) blew it big time yesterday when she called a press conference and then refused to take any questions.

People!! Hear me now and believe me later!

We are hearing an uproar over President Obama's upcoming speech to America's schoolchildren.

BUT. Did you know that nefarious forces in our country have been quietly indoctrinating our public school children since the 1950s to build an army of soldiers loyal only to the President?

Follow me beneath the fold for an in-depth look at this nefarious program, operating right under our own noses.

I can't believe this is still out there!!

We've seen comments and a few "drop Biden" troll diaries here on DKos for a few weeks now.

I always assumed it was because McCain's campaign was thinking (for a minute) about dropping Palin, so they did what comes naturally, and spread a false rumor about their opponent, accusing them of same.

Well, now the rumor has made it into the always-reliable Daily Mail:

Did anyone notice how many times Bush used the word "Caliphate" in his press conference? Wonder if that will be the new Republican "code word" this week.

He said it at least 3-4 times during that press conference. The first time he said it I thought "Huh. I'm surprised Bushie knows that word!!"

Then the second time I realized a pattern. So that is the new talking point? We need to "stay the course" in Iraq because Muslim extremists are going to try to re-establish the caliphate? (At one point he said extend the Caliphate, as though it is already on the move). Read More
