Post hoc ergo propter hoc
Post hoc ergo propter hoc, Latin for “after this, therefore because of this,” is a logical fallacy that states, “Since that event followed this one, that event must have been caused by this one.” I was reminded of this scene and this principle when reading of a tragedy in the News Journal this morning.

So John Edwards has some kind of heart condition. Apparently, its a real one and not some kind of hyped up condition like what Junior Soprano did when he was on trial.
Still the Party of Bush and Palin.
Because both of them still have more influence over Republicans with their potential endorsement than their local man or woman of God. 28% of Republican primary voters say former President Bush’s endorsement will sway them. 23% say that with respect to Palin. Both rank at the top of the list, higher than their priest, rabbi or pastor.
So Delawareonline is going behind a paywall…
… so what? The internet business model of giving away your product for free online was never going to work, and a lot of newspapers went out of business trying to make it work.

The Mitt Romney Tax Plan.
A blowjob for the wealthy, and a f*ck you to everyone else.
Damn.
This is why the Bain issue is so horrible: the biographical contrast.
“President Obama – who, like Mitt Romney, earned a degree from Harvard and all the opportunities that affords – began his career helping jobless workers in the shadow of a closed-down steel mill. Mitt Romney, on the other hand, made millions closing down steel mills.”
This is Rich….
So I have been doing a little reading about Mitt Romney’s father, George Romney. As you may know, George Romney was a Governor of Michigan in the 1960’s, and he was for much of 1967 the frontrunner for not only the GOP nomination for the Presidency, but also the Presidency itself as he was leading Lyndon Johnson in the polls at the time. What I didn’t know about George Romney is that he was not an American. Because he was never born here.
