Today is Tuesday, February 12, 2013. My stats today: 10 minutes of yoga, 10 minutes on the exercise ball and 41 minutes of walking = 2.3 miles for a February total of 26.0 miles. My weight was 162.4 pounds.
QUOTE from Jim Doyne: "You only have to mumble a few words in church to get married and a few in your sleep to get divorced."
My THOUGHTS today are from Jim Hightower's (October) LOWDOWN. They have to do with Mitt Romney and some words he said during the campaign. During his infamous secretly videotaped $50,000-plate fundraiser in Florida, Romney was full of disdain for poor people "who pay no income tax." He didn't mention that nearly all of these poor people have incomes that are too low to be taxed. He also didn't mention that these poor people pay all kinds of taxes in their daily lives - including the sales tax, gasoline tax, property tax, Social Security tax, Medicare tax, driver's license tax, etc.
And he didn't mention that their are many rich people who don't pay any income tax. According to Hightower, last year there were about 4,000 households with income above a million dollars who paid no federal income tax. But Mitt, speaking to a room full of millionaires, expressed no disdain for these real tax dodgers. Why not, Mitt???
I'm a Democrat and this another one of the reasons why. In the world of propaganda techniques this is called "stacking the cards." In other words, they so conveniently leave out the "rest of the story." Thank God Mitt got beat. Amen!
HUMOR for today: When a man says he wears the pants at home, the chances are his wife tells him which pants to put on.
