Mitt Romney in Atlanta

Mitt Romney dropped by the Varsity restaurant on August 14, 2007. I read on the AJC Political Insider blog that he'd be giving away free hot dogs, so I dropped by (starving grad student that I am). I ended up having to pay for my own hot dog (sorry, not willing to sign the Romney endorsement pledge), but I did come away with some choice footage of a leading Republican's tomfoolery.

Also, "Georgian's [sic] for Mitt" don't know how to spell. Nice vinyl banner, y'all.

Senator Obama has been able to develop innovative approaches to challenge the status quo and get results. Americans are tired of divisive ideological politics, which is why Senator Obama has reached out to Republicans to find areas of common ground. He has tried to break partisan logjams and take on seemingly intractable problems. During his tenure in Washington and in the Illinois State Senate, Barack Obama has accumulated a record of bipartisan success.

Joe Biden sat down at a joint press event in Iowa with Sam Brownback (when he was still in the race) to talk about a reasonable way forward in (and out of) Iraq; talk about reaching across the divide! Joe Biden, too, rejects the red-blue politics of division, and he's been getting things done since Obama was 11. Only he has the international security insight to reestablish our place in the world.

Vote for brains.

And I love the new open!

Thanks! Yeah, I figured that if I'm not going to encourage regular viewership by being totally nubile and shaggable for the YouTube nerds who count subscribing to babes as "having a social life," I'd need some kind of "branding" to give the peoples some sense of continuity. More of my handsome face in each vid is also part of this strategy, sex object that I am.

Great video! Good reaction on the 'honorary degree' bit. While I recognize this is a state-owned school and that degrees are given to qualified people all the time -- there was no justification aside from 'he's smart already' and the manner in which it was given. . . makes our school seem all the cheaper. *sigh*

I agree about Romney. He's not good for the U.S. in any way, shape, or form.

It took all of my self control not to squeal like a pig right then and there while filming -- which would of course reveal myself to the admiring throngs as a heathen liberal and probably result in my being thrown into the hot dog-making machines. I noticed our fellow alumna Ruth Malhotra was there and didn't seem to have a problem with such abasement of our education.

R-e-s-p-e-c-t? For what, Bruce? For Mitt, who thinks that if you can't pay your own way to health care you can go screw yourself? Or for people who buy vinyl banners with typos? I'm not following you.

Excellent Shelbinator!
