Really, Romney campaign? Another promoted Twitter trending topic? Did you learn nothing from watching Charlie Brown?

They certainly are a campaign of optimists. Between Twitter and the various re-introductions of Mitt, I'm starting to have a little hope that we might get another go-round with Clint Eastwood and the Chair, because "this time, they'll get it right!"

Today's comedy opportunity is "#CantAfford4More". Enjoy yourselves.

For those of you who missed my diary earlier this week, I laid out a strong circumstantial case that Mitt Romney is actually a 30+ year performance art piece by legendary comedian Andy Kaufman. In it I stated that Romney's actions can only be explained by by the thesis that he's actually a satirical character in the most brilliant comedy skit in history.

One point I didn't bring up is the idea that the fact that "Romney" acts so often as an unlikeable, incompetent dick who constantly provokes outrage is also perfectly consistent with a Kaufman character.

Make no mistake, "Romney's" actions this morning are the actions of a gifted comedic actor. No real-life rational human being would be as much of a smirking, unfeeling asshole in the face of AN ATTACK on our NATION as he was this morning. The fact that he was smiling as he walked away from the podium after repeating blatant lies just sealed it.

There's no possible way that anyone can be simultaneously THAT incompetent, THAT dishonest, and THAT MUCH OF A DICK.

Mitt Romney - Work of Fiction.

That is the only logical explanation. That's right, I've figured it out, and Mitt Romney's campaign is actually the most epic comedy act in human history. I've been putting the pieces together for months, ever since I first heard about Rafalca and thought that it couldn't possibly be true. Some may call it a conspiracy theory, but I think that the "Birther" conspiracy is actually just a red herring to distract people from learning the REAL truth.

Quick Diary...

After seeing the latest post by my tea-party leaning sister, after taking down her equivalency between the voice vote fiasco at the DNC to the plague of voter fraud being heroically fought by the Republicans, I updated my status with the following:

"OK, from here on out until election day, no fake Republican talking point goes unanswered. If I see it, I engage with facts and logic.
For my tea party friends, nothing personal, but if you post things that are nonsense, I will point out that they are nonsense. You are welcome to do the same to me if you think you have the facts on your side..."

I for one am sick of the ongoing crap that gets posted and liked on Facebook even though it has no basis in reality, and I'm committed to making sure that I don't just let those things go unanswered.

I encourage all of you to do the same (in addition to volunteering, donating, and proudly standing up as a Democrat of course), and somewhere in the exchange to gleefully point out how screwed their side is, just to make sure they know!

How about Chick-Fil-A Gay Makeout Day for 8/2/12?

After wading into yet another Facebook controversy with the right wingers in my family about Huckabee's Chick-Fil-A supporter day on 8/1, I got an idea. How about a counter-demonstration for 8/2, showing all of those good, tolerant Christians a different view of loving relationships? I know that some may not want to spend money there, but think of the potential entertainment value...

I respectfully suggest that those so inclined show up in numbers on 8/2 and engage in some enthusiastic PDA at the nearest C-F-A.

Regardless of whether it actually happens, this is an event that needs to get out there. Just the idea that it could happen should be enough to make heads explode.

I don't have the tools or know the right people to actually film this, so if anyone wants to make it, you're certainly welcome to the idea...

Veteran 1: "My name is XXXXX. I was a POW in Viet Nam for 3 years, but I DIDN'T vote to attack Iraq even though they had nothing to do with 9/11."

Veteran 2: "My name is XXXXX. I was a POW in Viet Nam for 4 years, but I DIDN'T vote to allow the government to use the same techniques that the Vietnamese used against me."

Veteran 3: "My name is XXXXX. I was a POW in Viet Nam for 2 years, but I DIDN'T cheat on my wife while she was in the hospital and marry my rich mistress."

Veteran 4: "My name is XXXXX. I was a POW in Iraq for 2 years, but I DO know how many homes I have. I'm homeless."

Text: John McCain, we honor the sacrifice you've made, but being a POW will never excuse your poor judgment.

By now we're all aware that the Blue Dogs forced the Iraq resolution to be watered down to the point that it's essentially meaningless. The question is why. Why would our Democratic representatives insist on doing this?

The only answer I can come up with is self preservation. If I had the opportunity to end this war, but the cost would be that I would be fired in two years, I would be delighted to take that deal, but these representatives are apparently more interested in their continuing service in the United States Congress than in the soldiers dying for this misguided, illegitimate war. While I feel that that attitude is just breathtakingly obscene, it does provide a potential way forward.

What I propose is this...let's change the math around their personal self interest. If making it worth their while is what it takes to get them to end this war, I think we can come to an arrangement...

We hear this all the time from the Bush administration. Trust us on Iraq. Trust us on the War on Terra. Trust us on the Dubai Ports World, or torture, or the Patriot Act, or the need for illegal wiretaps of American citizens, or whatever. You get the idea. The President hasn't been willing to debate whether any of these things is a good idea, just that he deserves the benefit of the doubt, and we should just trust him.

The question that we should be asking of our friends, neighbors, and family that fall into that exclusive 35% that still support the President, is why? Why on earth should anyone trust this president, this administration? In terms of the administration's judgment, their lack of competence, and their priorities, how can anyone be expected to trust George W. Bush? How can they justify their trust in George W. Bush?

Looking at the shocked and horrified rantings of the Right Wing about Senator Durbin's comments about Gitmo, as well as the Newsweek issue, Howard Dean, and countless others, they are exhibiting exactly the type of censorship that they decry on college campuses and in the media. This is a real opportunity to seize the high ground from the right-wing pundity, as well as point out their hypocrisy.

If you want to discuss the Downing Street Memo, you're "rehashing old news." If you discuss the criminal behavior that a very few of our troops have committed, you're "giving comfort to America's enemies." If you point out that the numbers don't add up on Social Security, you're an obstructionist.

You get the point here. The right wing isn't willing to debate any of the merits of these arguments, only to attack any points of view that don't glorify the GOP and America, in that order.

This is political correctness in a big way, and our leaders and the pundits on the web and in the media need to frame the issue that way to help make that point to the public as a whole.
