"Barbara O’Brien’s wide-ranging account of Zen history is conveyed with a master storyteller’s ability to keep the forest from getting lost in a myriad of trees. Wearing her scholarship lightly, she blends just the right amount of skepticism about her hagiographic sources with a deep appreciation for the Dharma." — Barry Magid, author of
Nothing Is Hidden and
Ending the Pursuit of Happiness Order here!
A great take-off on Jeff Foxworthy!
If you don’t know the names of any of the staff at any of your mansions, and don’t care – you MIGHT be a Romney!
If your car elevator breaks down, and you tell the chauffer to bring your limo up on the escalator – you MIGHT be a Romney!
If you want to be President just so you can fire the nation – you MIGHT be a Romney!
Try the prime rib, you won’t regret it.
And don’t forget to tip the wait and bar staff, folks! The 47%ers need to eat, too, you know. And if you think they don’t – you MIGHT be a Romney!
Can you imagine Mitt trying something like that? He just doesn’t have the sense of timing.
gulag….:)
This completely made my day. Didn’t know Barack had it in him. A little halting at times, but he killed it by the end. Now, what will Romney come up with to counter it?
🙂 🙂 🙂
It’s ingenious how Obama can call someone a liar without calling them a liar. He makes us feel sorry for poor Mr Romney and his affliction. I don’t really know what was in Obama’s mind during the first debate, but it sure sounds like rope-a-dope, the perfect setup for a comeback like this.
Gee, Mr. Gulag, I was just reading the comments about the Smith dinner at Crooks and Liars – read yours and recognized the writer before I even read your name. How about that ? 🙂
Lynne,
That’s pretty funny!
Well, and it’s nice to see that, though I may be an idiot, at least I may be one with a somewhat unique voice. 😉
He who stands for everything stands for nothing.
Swami,
And he who believes in nothing, will embrace anything.
gulag… Agreed that we are talking about Mitt Romney? Tossed about by every wind of political assertion and unstable in all his ways.
