Things get terribly convoluted when the activity picks up around here. And in what Peggy Noonan calls “The golden age of mudlslinging” the wheels in some instances come off the rails.
Both sides seem to get caught up in the process of traveling and meeting and, etc., etc.’ etc.’ until the breaking point is approached. However since Mr. Romney has been on this schedule for a tad longer than Mr. Ryan has, his ability to speak longer and in more coherent and well timed sentences is apparent. It’s not that Mr. Romney has gone ‘up the spout’ as has Joe Biden – but he does have a higher stutter-stammer quotient than the ‘cool man’ from
Anyway—we’re just about to enter the ‘convention’ series (August 27th I think) of what’s happening, and there will be some shifting among the standings as we pull into that phase. However I don’t know what’s going to keep the Democrats awake during the second week of TV coverage – But it’s going to be the FIRST time a major political party has appointed Charlotte (Queen city of the South they say) as it’s convention city. The first four nights will be in a major auditorium and the last one – where the presumably nominated Obama will speak – is in the largest outdoor stadium in the city. (If it rains… I dunno?)
You will be covered up with info on these conventions with their coverage. I think I’ll lay low except for the minutiae – nobody wants to waste their money on that. Perhaps that will be a rich ground for the less obvious stories. We’ll see.
Well, no use staying awake about it. Have a good rest or nap or whatever you’re planning. (J) See you soon.
Cordially, IN HIM

“JUST A MINUTE”
INCORRECT CONCLUSIONS -- AGAIN
Just a Minute: About a month ago, I quoted Samuel Adams, saying: ”[Never]… have the wisest constitution nor the wisest laws secured the liberty and happiness of a people whose manners are universally corrupt” Now it turns out Paul Ryan – the Romney pick for Vice President -- but then a newbie member of the House of Representatives -- was pleading along with only 12 other Congressmen – to reduce the risks to taxpayers assumed by Freddie Mac and Fanny Mae.
President Obama is forever complaining about the “mess that got us into this fix.” – blaming it on Romney & Ryan. But according to a weekend editorial in the WALL ST JOURNAL, Romney was never in the Congress and Ryan’s voice was ignored by an indifferent Congress who never gave attention to the rising Senator Obama – later President – from Illinois
Now, somewhat late, what the JOURNAL calls “the Toxic Twins” are being reigned-in a bit even though under the Senator/(slash) President’s nose he participated in the excesses of Fanny and Freddy that helped bring on the housing collapse that plagues us today.
You have some of the mess on your hands, Mr. President. <> I’m Jack Buttram. (END)
