The Text Message Typo That Landed a Man In Jail
Barence writes "A British man was jailed for 18 months for accidentally sending an explicit text message to his entire address book. 24-year-old swimming coach Craig Evans intended to send a text message to his girlfriend asking her for sex. Instead, the message was accidentally sent to his entire BlackBerry address book, including two girls, aged 13 and 14, from his swimming class. He was subsequently arrested and charged with 'causing or inciting a child to engage in sexual activity,' and – incredibly – jailed for 18 months at Birmingham Crown Court in July. Yesterday, an appeal's court freed Evans, although he wasn't cleared — the sentence was merely reduced to a nine-month suspended jail term."
I saw that video and Romney's entire mannerism, diction, the way he smiled, the way he moved, was similar to a stand-up comedian doing a routine. He was clearly running a stream of jokes and trying to amuse himself and others; that doesn't mean the question wasn't posed as an insightful absurdity (i.e. something absurd and humorous, but warranting serious thought), but it WAS a joke. Can't tell from all that if he knew why the windows don't open. Suspending the laws of physics can be funny, though, re cartoons.
Stupid liberal bitch newscaster showed the video, stared at the camera with the most condescending look possible, and then said, "His wife just nearly died, and some people think he's joking? I don't see how he could have been joking." I'm like, "Seriously? I just watched him dance and smile and chuckle and drop strategic pauses to let the audience catch a laugh between punches, and you don't think he's joking?" It's obvious Romney was trying to be funny.

There is a simple solution that Republicans will never allow, simply raise the ceiling on SS tax. That would solve it right there.
His solution for Medicare is to make the insurance companies richer. Let's solve this once and for all as well, single payer.
