Read about this while heading to a meeting today, started cracking up on the street.

But if you're going to go that far, might as well change "education" to "penetration" in the subtitle.

It's been interesting to see some of the leaders in the Repub party break away from the Grover Norquist tax perspective in the last week.

“We cannot be, we must not be, the party that simply protects the rich so they get to keep their toys,” Jindal said during the interview.


Gov. Chris Christie, a Republican who has pushed aggressively for cutting and capping taxes in New Jersey during his three years in office, said Tuesday that people who lived in towns destroyed by Hurricane Sandy were likely to pay higher taxes to help rebuild

“It’s got to be paid for,” he said. “There’s no magic money tree.”


“The leadership in the Republican Party and the leadership in the conservative movement has to pull back, let people float new ideas,” Kristol said. “Let’s have a serious debate. Don’t scream and yell when one person says, ‘You know what? It won’t kill the country if we raise taxes a little bit on millionaires.’ It really won’t, I don’t think.”


It sure looks like we can say good bye to the Bush tax cuts.

Someone needs to take that party away from the tea party whackadoodles. Sounds like some may be figuring that out.

Looking forward to the GOP launching their minority outreach strategy with crazy old man McCain yelling at Susan Rice.

Romney Blames Loss on Obama’s ‘Gifts’ to Minorities and Young Voters

A week after losing the election to President Obama, Mitt Romney blamed his overwhelming electoral loss on what he said were big “gifts” that the president had bestowed on loyal Democratic constituencies, including young voters, African-Americans and Hispanics.

In a conference call on Wednesday afternoon with his national finance committee, Mr. Romney said that the president had followed the “old playbook” of wooing specific interest groups — “especially the African-American community, the Hispanic community and young people,” Mr. Romney explained — with targeted gifts and initiatives.

“In each case they were very generous in what they gave to those groups,” Mr. Romney said.

“With regards to the young people, for instance, a forgiveness of college loan interest, was a big gift,” he said. “Free contraceptives were very big with young college-aged women. And then, finally, Obamacare also made a difference for them, because as you know, anybody now 26 years of age and younger was now going to be part of their parents’ plan, and that was a big gift to young people. They turned out in large numbers, a larger share in this election even than in 2008.”.

...

“Our campaign, in contrast, was talking about big issues for the whole country — military strategy, foreign policy, a strong economy, creating jobs and so forth,” he said. “And by the way, as you’ll hear from Neil, our strategy worked well with many people, but for those who were given a specific gift, if you will, our strategy did not work terribly well.”
