1. LOL!

Of course, the RMoneys wouldn't really try to deport someone. They have a different policy: "DEPORT YOURSELF!1!!"

2. I seriously doubt you'll find any alcoholic beverages in the Romney household.

Good Mormons never touch the stuff, and whatever else Romney may be, by all accounts he's a good Mormon.

3. You're probably right, but it reads funnier if she's had a snoutful.

He's a good Mormon who enjoys firing people. He's a good Mormon who...

Romney’s Bain Capital Made Billions While Bankrupting Nearly One-Quarter Of The Companies It Invested In

2012 GOP presidential frontrunner Mitt Romney, who has a large lead in the polls heading into the New Hampshire primary tomorrow, has been taking heat from both Democrats and his Republican challengers for his time at Bain Capital, the private equity firm that he headed. Bain’s modus operandi was to invest in companies, leverage them up with debt, and then sell them off for scrap, allowing Bain’s investors to walk away with huge profits while the companies in which Bain invested wound up in bankruptcy, laying off workers and reneging on benefits.

Last week, Reuters profiled one company, Worldwide Grinding Systems, that went belly up after Bain invested in it. The company not only lost 750 jobs, but the federal government had to come in to bail out its pension fund, while Bain walked away with millions in profits.

And according to an analysis by the Wall Street Journal, this was far from an isolated incident. In fact, 22 percent of the companies in which Bain invested wound up either in bankruptcy or shutting their doors entirely, while Bain itself has made billions of dollars for its investors:

Among the findings: 22% either filed for bankruptcy reorganization or closed their doors by the end of the eighth year after Bain first invested, sometimes with substantial job losses. An additional 8% ran into so much trouble that all of the money Bain invested was lost.

4. i thought all grits were Cheesey....

5. When I was growing up in north Texas I never encountered "cheesey grits." There were just grits.

You had them at breakfast with fried eggs. I did put butter on them. Salt and pepper didn't hurt either. I liked my fried eggs soft so the egg goo got into the grits which I thought was good. I liked it.

I don't remember too much else about my early years in TX with grits but my family was all southern so I remember them telling me "all your people are southern people." So I guess I had the real deal when it came to grits. I never, ever encountered cheesey grits, for some reason...

I WOULD deport myself. And my family has been in the US since the 1850s.
