I think quoting the Bible was genius. It reminds all the evangelicals that (r)Money is a Mormon - did you notice how many "God Bless America's' there were last night?

This is payback for the past 6 years of "Obama is a Muslin." The chickens are coming home to roost.

Many years ago I read a fascinating little book "Letters from a Selfmade Merchant to his Son." He advises his offspring to invest in a good suit. "Don't buy a suit that makes people wonder if you perform buck and wing dancing or follow the horses for a living."

From a short distance the stripes should fade away - that's the difference between chalk and other stripes.

Please don't take this the wrong way. You don't have to buy it new - it's only going to be new the first time you wear it.

I recently purchased a nice Brooks Brothers (not top of the line, but still a great suit) three-piece tweed suit for less than $25 at our local Salvation Army.

Go to a thrift store in the wealthest neighborhood you can get to. Stores raising money for the ballet or symphony or art museum are the best.

We went on a cruise several years ago, and I needed a tux. Bought one that fit nicely for $30 or $40 at the symphony thrift store.

They'll complain those parents are a little too pro-life. That the daughter is part of the culture of dependency what with depending on health insurance to stay alive. That they didn't pray enough at some point during the speech or their lives.

You see, she's she's she's the fuckin' bomb.

BTW, did anyone else want to find Chuck Todd last night, replay his remark that "the Democrats are jealous of the Republicans' diversity" or whatever bullshit, and then beat him about his smug face with tonight's schedule?

A lot like his old movies, and also his newer movies, then.

No, he just sends them for lethal injection.

It's so funny to me to watch the Republican base embrace colonialism as a thing simply because they heard Obama was against it. Also fucking scary.

When Tejas turns blue, we can tell Florida to go fuck itself. That will be <em>awesome</em>.

Seriously, I think you're right; the Repubs seem to have no aesthetic sensibility. They wouldn't know beauty if it bit them on the ass.
