#1 Pure spin from the party that spins Sinister* stories

*Roman word for left.

#2 As Romney pivots to the general election, the NY Times steps up to deflect onto Romney what fits Obama to a T.

Not surprising, it's what they do. They're just less and less subtle about it.

#3 Wonder if the Times realizes this is probably their last election no matter what so they might as well go out with a bang, or if some might reign it in and try for some credibility. .

#4 This is a hilarious article, but I remember when the aliens "Gephardtized" Steve Dallas's brain, turning him into a church-going New Age feminist vegan. I also recall McGovern and Kerry, among others, being accused of flip-flopping.

According to Wikipedia (I know, I know), the NYT mentions political flip-flopping back in 1890. (But they didn't have quantum theory back then.) Everything old is new again at the Times!

#5 "the NY Times steps up to deflect onto Romney what fits Obama to a T"

Fine, except that this time the candidates truly aren't that different. In the case of healthcare and global warming, they even share the same staff.

#6 Looks more + more like NEWT + RON are indeed in a race to be somebody's VEEP.

#7 A Feynman diagram of an encounter between a Romney and an anti-Romney. The resulting collision annihilates both, leaving behind a single electron and a $20 bill.

OK, that's funny! But then, I love quantum mechanics jokes.

The article, however, is a fine example of how the media will do *anything* to slime whoever even looks like they might be running against B-HO. Expect a lot more before November.
