News Briefs

News you can use all day

  • The mouth-breathing paste-eaters had another debate last night that mostly consisted of two grown men saying that each other’s mothers are so fat that… I live tweeted some of it until Newticles and Willard agreed on a preemptive military strike on Cuba.
  • Magic panties enthusiast Willard Romney released his taxes last night: his effective tax rate is 13.9% and he made $42M+ over the last two years. Oh, yeah: he created zero jobs. (Think Progress)
  • Romney advisers stressed that the holdings in the Caymans — along with those in a Swiss bank account that was closed in 2010 after an investment adviser decided it could be politically embarrassing to Romney — were reported on tax returns and were not vehicles to avoid taxes. Uh-huh. So when Willard ran in 2008, they thought it was no big deal? (NYTimes)

    Pig Newton packed a small herd of lies into his claim that the Bush tax cuts created jerbs.

    Then Chuck Toad pronounced Newties behind “delicious” in the post-debate wrap up.

    13.9%? Good work if you can get it.

    Mitt was kidding when his speaking fees weren’t much compared to 42 million. His speaking fees were roughly 0.9% of his income. My mind is boggled at the numbers.

    One of the best lines from late night comedy…”13.9 percent? That’s not a reasonable tax bill…That’s not even a good tip.”
