I got so excited by Rick Santorum’s war on my erototoxins that I got all distracted from what I really ought to be thinking about. It’s not as bad as when I was a kid, though. In those days, my mind wandered terribly, and the teachers had to use discipline. Now they use drugs on kids whose minds wander. To focus their attention. Whether that’s an improvement, I don’t know. (Sometimes I think it is better to drug yourself than to have others drug you, although a good case can be made for mental performance enhancement, as long as that is not admitted by the so enhanced or their families.)
So where was I? Oh, the erototoxic distractions from the real threat. Roger L. Simon pointed out that according to some people in the right field of RightLand, it’s the fact that Mitt Romney is a Marxist. Seriously:
…we are in the era of Romney Derangement Syndrome. It has gone so far that in the PJ Media comments today, someone wrote there was no hope for the country because Obama and Romney were both Marxists.
Really? The co-founder of Bain Capital is a Marxist?
Who knew?
Roger seemed as surprised as I was. But it didn’t take long for me to find a scholarly analysis titled
“Mitt Romney’s communist connection Bain Capital“
Why have I been kept in the dark about this?
And you know, sometimes when I learn new things like this I get all carried away and do PhotoShops and stuff, except today I don’t have time as I have to be somewhere else. However (and very fortunately), someone else has taken the time and done “my” work for me!
And as if that’s not enough, there’s this!
And remember, after being defeated by Stalin, Trotsky fled to Mexico, where Mitt Romney’s father George Romney was born! And Trotsky was killed there on Stalin’s orders!
Coincidence? I don’t think so.
If only I had more time to devote to these serious issues of the day.
Another important point. Obama’s idiotic attempt to smear Rutherford B. Hayes did remind me that not only did Hayes sport a long beard, but in the old days, many men wore beards, and for many decades, bearded men were elected to office. This morning I learned (via Kathy Shaidle on Facebook) why the hyperabundance of American male hirsuteness came to an abrupt end.
Scientists have confirmed that women do not like bearded men!
So now we know why beards went out of style when women got the right to vote, don’t we?
Men hate to lose elections.
