Thursday News Roundup
October 18th, 2007 by JonThe AP’s Jim Davenport reports that Mitt thinks the UN is a failure. Personally, I think the UN is a waste of valuable real estate in mid-town Manhattan.
The National Journal’s Linda Douglass has an interview with Ann where we learn that the Romneys have a joint bank account.
Â
The Boston Globe’s Michael Levenson writes on Mitt’s plans to “take aim at single motherhoodâ€. I guess anybody who claims (rightfully so) that children do better in a two-parent home is anti-mother. Facts are stubborn things, people. Remember that.
Â
Evidently Dr. Robert Jeffress of Dallas’ First Baptist Church hasn’t gotten the memo from Bob Jones III and several other evangelicals who have recently jumped on the Mitt Mobile. Dr Jeffress trots out the same old, worn out bigoted statements about Mormonism in general and Mitt specifically.  Memo to Dr. Jeffress: You’ve missed the point – entirely. End Memo.
Â
In a move sure to strike fear into the hearts of college students majoring in English, Philosophy, History, and most any other fluff subject whose career path ends topping out at burger flipping, Mitt said he wants to link college aid to the eventual occupation of the student. Basketweaving majors beware!
Â
The New Republic’s Noam Scheiber reports on Mitt’s campaign stops through New Hampshire. Interesting details and well worth reading.
Â
Mitt, buddy, I know you’ve made millions by being frugal, but this is a little out of character. I guess you could’ve bought the whole coffee shop.
Â
Fare the well, Sam. Good luck running for Governor. ABC’s profile was just a little late.
Â
Memo to Baltimore Sun’s Swamp Blogger Steve Chapman: There is no tenet of Mormonism that prohibits the consumption caffeine. Buy me a Diet Coke and I’ll prove it to you.
Â
Ted Rall understands nothing about religion, or anything else for that matter.
Â
I keep on forgetting to link to this, so I’m a few days late with a pointer to Political Derby’s Power Rankings. Not much change here, and I realize Jason did his work before Mitt got the huge endorsements of this week. On the other side of the political spectrum, we learn that Hillary! has a personality disorder.
