Bain of his existence?

July 19, 2012

No, not a joke, Rush Limbaugh is claiming “Batman, the Dark Knight Rises” is part of a liberal media conspiracy against Romney because the villain is named “Bane.” (“Bane” was created in 1993… guess that Obama really thinks ahead.)

 

 

Some Penn State students have started a vigil to protect the Joe Paterno statue from vandals. Shame no one on campus was as motivated to protect little boys.

 

Some critics have questioned new Yahoo CEO Marissa Mayer’s ability to run the company while pregnant and planning a (short) maternity leave. Uh, could she do any worse than the last 4 CEO’s?

Sportsmanship award of the year? When Kobe Bryant was asked what would happen if the USA didn’t bring home the gold medal, he said that U.S. players’ citizenship should be revoked….

I posted last week that when Romney organized the Olympics the U.S. team was attired in clothing from Roots. A very good Canadian company. Turns out the torchbearer’s uniforms, however, weren’t from Canada. They were manufactured in Burma..

Love this statement from the Olympic organizing committee back in 2000, about a torch relay uniform controversy. (Ah that darned liberal geography…) “The torch relay clothes were NOT made in Burma. They were manufactured in Myanmar. ”

Barry Zito is 119-7 lifetime when he has at least four runs of support. So if Zito had signed with the Yankees would he be a future Hall of Famer?

 

 

Who says there’s no bi-partisan agreement in this country? Some Republicans are saying that Sarah Palin should have a major speaking role at the GOP convention this year. And most Democrats agree with them.

Ann Romney says her husband hasn’t decided yet on a running mate. Actually it’s more likely that he’s decided, then decided again, and is still thinking of changing his mind.

When asked about his company’s support for anti-gay Christian organizations, Chick-fil-A Pres. Dan Cathy responded “Well, guilty as charged. We are very much supportive of the family — the biblical definition of the family unit.

Wonder if that includes polygamy, marrying your sister in law,  slaves, etc…

 

 

Supreme Court judge Antonin Scalia said tonight about “Bush v. Gore,” (the 2000 presidential election), “That comes up all the time, and my usual response is ‘get over it.'” So will he say the same thing about the Romney-Obamacare decision?

“Jaws” dropping.

Richard D Zanuck, the producer of Jaws, has died at 77. Does that mean it’s now safe to go back into the water?

And who will be the first to say at his funeral “I think we’re going to need a bigger coffin?”

Mastercard, Visa and many U.S. banks have agreed to pay $7.3 billion to millions of merchants to end a seven-year dispute over credit card “swipe” fees. Wonder how long it will take for the credit card companies and banks to announce $8 billion in consumer fees to make up for it.

Pitcher Mark Appel is returning to Stanford for his senior year, turning down the Pittsburgh Pirates. Since he still has Scott Boras for an agent wonder if Appel is learning a backup sport if he doesn’t like his potential contract or the teamthat drafts him in 2013.

People in upstate New Jersey are flocking to a tree that some say now has the image of the Virgin Mary. Really? Come on people. We know the Virgin Mary does not appear on trees. She appears on toast.

(or as friends have pointed out, on grilled cheese.)

So Prince Fielder won the Home Run Derby and Pablo Sandoval hit a three-run triple that broke open the All-Star game in the first. Not a good week in sports for Weight Watchers.

Rielle Hunter has apparently ended her book tour after selling only 6,000 copies of her memoir “What Really Happened.” Wonder how many thousands of those books she bought herself with the money John Edwards gives her?

All this talk about the U.S. Olympic uniforms being made in China. How about the fact that they make our athletes look like British flight attendants with French berets?

Drew Brees and the New Orleans Saints just agreed on a long-term deal. Finally. These negotiations lasted long than most of Brett Favre’s retirements.

Regardless of what really happened (and when) Mitt Romney left his private equity firm, will this episode go down in history as him being “Swift-Bained?
