Romney is proving to be an ignoramus. Air plane windows, cold fusion discovered in Utah,

the 47% moochers. He is missing common sense. I guess I assumed any Presidential candidate would be well read. Maybe he was too busy reading the book of mormon.

I cannot believe the stupidity he displayed in his comments.

I half expect him to bring up Kirk Cameron's "crocoduck" next!

That cold fusion is when a kid sticks his tongue on a frosty flag pole.

He hires people who clutter their minds with details.

That's his real problem. He's a shining example of his class.

in a government town and many of them were public servants. So they were well informed. Most were Liberals too.

although they were lavishly paid hired help. Those are the people I grew up with, too.

I'm talking about the scions of the truly rich and powerful, often hired for family name and connections as for any business acumen and not really expected to run things, although they disproportionately reap the rewards.

It's becoming clear that George Romney's little boy was just such a person. Underlings existed to do all the work and to know the details inherent in doing it. The Romney name gave the company weight and respectability and Romney reaped most of the rewards.

Even though it was originally thought to be a Pons'y scheme, further studies used massive amount of higgs bosons, sent back in time retroactively, to increase the masses of the electrons as they headed for the palladium rods. The electrons then had no choice but to collide with it, thus increasing the atomic number and fusing to different materials, mostly bolonium.

The real trick was to entice the electrons to begin their journey toward the palladium in the first place. Coating it with honey worked well to "sweeten the deal" and sent electrons rushing in where they would get stuck like ionized flies in (positively charged) amber. What finally made it a total success was diverting a small percentage from the porn industry to the experiment. This has a much more positive effect and the sticking power was greatly enhanced.

Sounds like the theory of Mitt's campaign.

It's cold.
It fuses with the most extreme conservative agenda.

It very much sounds like something that would originate in Utah... Or MS. Or AL. Or KS. Or TX. Or OK. Or NE. Or ID. Or any number of communities.
