Mitt Romney gives a lecture about 2016 election at Stanford University. Pic by Stelio Ropokis via Twitter Mitt Romney has been keeping busy since our wayward nation madethe biggest mistake of her lifeby walking away from the blissful comfort of his mechanical, Downy-scented embrace two years ago. Mitt is the forgiving type and has remained in the background of our political lives, just being our friend, because he would hate to think he and the American voters couldn't be friends anymore. And he's been meeting up with some of his best buds who, by total coincidence, played integral roles in his last run for president, just to say hi.
(Grammar note: gahd, I know! "They" is plainly plural, "it" is only suitable for inanimate objects and politicians- but I repeat myself- and the default unspecified pronoun in English is male. Surely there's another language we can rob to correct this.)
Honestly, I know the law school isn't really Berkeley, but I've been wtfing about that for years, and I'm not even an alumnus.
Sorry. I call people "folks" sometimes, because "people" gets repetitious and "citizens" is too formal.
To be fair, Beserkeley hired Yoo years before he went to work for the Cheney administration and wrote up his "torture is OK if we say it's not torture" memos. Why they just gave him an endowed chair is quite the mystery -- perhaps he's an object lesson, and a warning, that lawyers can do a lot of evil shit without (too obviously) committing a crime. At least he's not teaching political science.
Stanford also takes on wingnut faculty and lecturers, by the way, but they have a special sandbox (the Hoover Institute) for them to play in.
Shy! Get out there and grab every Mitt-related permutation you can! I foresee a new revenue stream for R beloved Wonkette!
Those who can't win, lecture...?
"Laws" is being generous. "Up shit" might be closer. I wonder if he won the last Boston Marathon this time?
Someone needs to put a loop counter on his "retry" subroutine.

Can ya pour me a bourbon?
it was a quiet room.

That picture. Even in Sand Hill drag, he looks uncomfortable.
And helping to feed millions of hungry dogs.
At Stanford, probably not. Standards for getting in are very high - for <i>students</i>, at any rate. Faculty, obviousy, not so much.
So Stanford&#039;s young Reeps are learning everything he knows about campaigning for office? This is a good thing.
And if nothing else works out, become a consultant. (To a Republican campaign, closing the circle-jerk of life.)

I bet the humor module never gets out of beta.
