A fool and his money are soon parted...especially if that fool is a Republican

There’s something horribly, irretrievably wrong with our society when a man can spend $42.3 million of his own money on a quixotic quest for the Presidency and not seem to break a sweat. Personally, I think I could have lost at least as badly as Romney did for a whole lot less money. F’rinstance, when I staged an abortive write-in campaign for Governor of Texas in 2004, I frittered my way through exactly $0.00. I loaned my campaign $0.00 of my own money, and I still got all of 11 votes (that I know of…there may have been one or two more), which works out to an economical $0.00 per vote. Yeah, I got trounced by Governor Goodhair, even with the $0.00 I spent campaigning. Suffice it to say that I never did get the keys to the Governor’s mansion in Austin, which is probably just as well. I would have turned it into a combination skate park/Swedish massage parlor/driving range/permanent gun show anyway. And I would have parked my F-150 on the front lawn and put a keg of beer in the bed. Hey, I may not drink much any more, but there’s no reason Texans shouldn’t be allowed to have fun, right? After all, it’s their tax dollars hard at work.

You’d think for $43.2 million that Romney would have been able to buy something of value- if not the Presidency, then perhaps…oh, I don’t know…Vermont? ‘Course, if Romney needs counselling on how to run a campaign on a shoestring, I’m here to help…and my fees are pretty reasonable. Hell, I’d work for a tenth of the $43.2 million…and I’d be a bargain at that price. Call now; operators are standing by…and they have my cell phone number.
