Okay, this is why, as I keep telling my wife, who totally lacks sympathy with my plight, why I should retire from my day job, let her support me, and be a full time blogger. But I must not bemoan the unfairness of the world, in which I, like my Obama supporting brethren, firmly believe I am entitled to free stuff.
Back to my main point: This is what I drafted today, in stolen moments, while I slaved away in the office:
Romney’s 47% remarks have been analyzed almost to death. Perhaps I’ve missed it, but one thing I haven’t seen is any analysis as to how many, really, of that 47% are actually in the Obama camp. It includes lots of military families, and lots of seniors. In fact, seniors are the largest group within the group of folks who don’t pay federal income taxes, and those old geezer moochers also contribute a large percentage of their numbers to the tea party battalions. Add in poor Southern racists, and a fair number of that ilk here in the North, and a fair number who have let their minds be numbed by Fox and/or Limbaugh, and don’t even know they’re among the moochers, (or believe they are special cases, and should not be included among the riff-raff) and I’d be willing to bet that at least 47% of those 47% are Romney voters. Probably more.
After all, we here in the Northeast are Obama voters. We also export our tax money to those fine upstanding self-reliant Southerners who will troop to the polls in November and vote against their interest by voting for the one thing they think the really want, as is so well articulated here by the inestimable Randy Newman:
And here is what I found later on. Someone had indeed run the numbers and even has a cool graphic (look where Connecticut stands), another one of those pictures of the nation proving the superiority of the blue part therof. Beaten again, just because the Romneys of the world force me to earn my own bread. Being right is cold comfort. I wanted to be first.
