Well, they did take the campaign in a new direction...straight for the rocks.

It was also the 150th Anniversary of the Battle of Antietam. Some 22,000 Americans killed and wounded in a single day.

The butcher's bill is remarkable similar to our military losses in Afghanistan and Iraq since we started those wars - some 6,000 KIA and another 17,000 wounded.

Antietam was the turning point in the American Civil War. Lincoln used this "victory" to issue the Emancipation Proclamation. English mill workers in Manchester went on strike for a couple of years, refusing to work Confederate cotton.

It's the beginning of the fourth quarter, (r)Money recovered a fumble, and he's rambling down the field without a defender in sight.

Unfortunately, he's headed for Obama's endzone.

The "it makes my head hurt so I'm going to stop thinking about it" thingie worked out so well for George Bush and the folks living in Israel and Palestine.

There is a town called Willard in Missouri, but I'm not sure if it's anywhere near the Mormon garden of Eden.

you know, this is really terrible. a candidate for the (current) most powerful office on earth says he has no interest in solving one of the world's most destructive situations (and one that is a root cause of several of the world's other destructive problems) because it is 'too hard' and (no doubt - though he's too cowardly to mention it - because he's seen other administrations blow tons of political capital on mediterranean shores).

wtf? if you don't want to deal with hard things, why do you want to be president? this guy's got nothing. patently unsuited for office.

sorry for unfunny. the more i think about this, the worse it gets.

at least sarah palin thought she believed in something.

Guys, it's getting so that you can't blurt out stupid shit to your own friends without the whole world finding out. Mitt should go lock himself in one of his houses and wait it out until election day. That way, he would have a chance of being a respectable failure versus an embarrassing failure. Trust me, I know from which I speak.
