Stormy Monday, 7/7/14
Jeff Rosenzweig: Stormy Monday, 7/7/14The Republican National Committee unveiled a new fundraising gimmick over the weekend, and this weeks sales figures might provide a handy gauge for just how far gone Republicans currently are. The RNC will reward a $27 donation with a t-shirt bearing the slogan I MISS W. The GOP somehow being unaware of that whole universally known red versus blue symbolism thingie, you can have any color you want as long as its blue. Though I wonder if a rejected alternate slogan was IM STILL WITH STUPID, I suppose I MISS W is close enough. Itll be an effective way to telegraph to people that they should cross the street if they see you coming, but Ill bet the RNC could raise way more money by modifying the slogan to I MISSED W and adding an image of a shoe to the design. Or a pretzel.
Afghanistans election commission, prudently, has not announced preliminary results from the controversial mid-June presidential runoff, but might this week. Meanwhile, Senator Carl Levin, visiting Kabul, and US Ambassador to Afghanistan James Cunningham have joined other US officials (like the lamentably ubiquitous Lindsey Graham and John McCain) in calling for an audit of the ballots. In retrospect, our clumsy attempt to bring democracy to Afghanistan should at least have omitted hanging chads.
With all the travails theyve endured daily for many years now, at least the people of Afghanistan wont be deprived of, um, Facebook via government decree, as was initially mooted. Hooray. I guess...
