If you're a Twitter user, you might want to start following #RomneyPlaneFeatures.

A few of the suggestions for new features on the Romney's redesigned plane include: it's only capable of hard right turns; automatic pilot defaults directly to Grand Cayman Islands; Oxygen for the 53%; Fact Avoidance Radar; capable of flying several different directions at the same time; optional TSA vaginal ultrasound wanding on request; two words: Sun Roof; hidden compartments for undocumented servants, for pete’s sake; optional voice-controlled navigation: “Stop it! This is hard!”

You could not ask for more. I feel like i'm watching a movie. "campaign 2012" starring mitt Romney as will Ferrell. orgasmic!
Turns out Romney and Ryan aren't geniuses after all. They are legitimately dopey frauds! Woo Hoo!

It's these stupid EPA regulations that prevent smoke getting out. And other bureaucrats that keep windows from opening. If only there was free enterprise...

His campaign seems to think it is a good idea to emphasize air travel at this moment. Hence the "On Board With Mitt" promotion:

Every day, I shout, "Say something stupid, Willard!" Then I logon to DU and there it is, the latest stupidity from the mouth of Mitt.

He doesn't know why opening the windows on an airplane is a bad idea. The flight attendants kind of explain that every time you get on a plane. Oh, of course. He doesn't listen to them. They're just common working people.

I don't have much time to do anything besides run from class to class, but during my lunch break I usually pull up DU to see what's happening. I read this and thought, "No, he really didn't say that...it must be some kind of an Onion put-on." But OMG, he actually did. Now, even aside from the wonderment of why airplane windows don't open, does he not realize what happens when you add oxygen to fire? I'm assuming there was no actual fire in the cabin, but there had to be one somewhere, or at least a potential one. Oh, wait. That's science. Sorry, I forgot who I was talking about.
