Morning Lizardim from the snowy white north country. At least, it is for now, but with another mild (borderline warm) week coming up, it’ll all be gone again soon enough.

re: #123 Varek Raith

The other problem with Romney is his blatantly stupid tone deafness.
“I’m unemployed.”
“I was afraid I’d get a pink slip.”
“It wasn’t all that much” (374k in speaking fees)

I don’t think it’s tone deafness so much as he’s just not equipped to relate socially to the “lower-class” citizens who make up the majority of America. When you’re born and bred to the upper crust, you tend to develop a peculiar form of social ineptness - you accumulate habits more suited to high society than slumming with the Joes.
