Yesterday Obama, now Mitt. They really should have held off before running.
About Lance
I want to thank everybody who has encouraged me over the past few years to do this. I doubt it will hold but a few people's interest, but that is okay with me. Special thanks go to Peter over at http://www.liberalcapitalist.com.
I value my privacy a great deal, so I will guess you will have to get to know me over time to find out much. I am in the financial services, wealth management, investing or whatever you want to call it business. I have children, my oldest is entering college.
I have no great or imposing academic background, my grades varied from high enough to get invited to an honors program at my university to frustrating enough to cause my father great grief. My major was history, with a minor in ethics. My main interest towards the end was in the history of economic ideas before life took a turn and I ended up never going on to graduate school. However, I have a fair knowledge of history, economics, investing and would probably be considered well read. My tastes are eclectic and I pretty much find the entire world interesting.
I have an enduring interest in how people learn about and analyze the world; my posts here will examine this topic in detail over time. I make no claims to be above the very biases and errors I see in others, in fact it is my belief that we are incapable of escaping them, only moderating their control over us.
I am a member of no political party, but I would broadly consider myself a man of the right. I am inclined to free market economics, limited government and a fairly narrow view of the role of the state. A small L libertarian if you will. However, if you are looking for broad based "the left believes..." or "wingers are so...." types of attacks on liberals, conservatives, neo-cons or whatever enemy you want to slam, look elsewhere.

You know, I pointed this out a few days back with that bit on Mitt and pon farr.
Just beating a theme to death, More on Obama and Edwards to come, but I appreciate your effort to pitch in;^)
It’s “meme.” “Theme” is so Web 1.0
I think Mitt’s gaffe was the worst of the two. Obama can be forgiven for screwing up the number (really badly), but how do you spin Romney fabricating an entire policy in France? A policy that he claims will happen here unless we elect him. It sure doesn’t help that he may have gotten his misinformation from a sci-fi novel.
Not to mention the connection to Vulcans. T’Pol or not, no one wants Vulcans around.
Oh, I agree. I was giving him the benefit of the doubt for campaign exhaustion, same as Obama. Talk long enough, often enough and you will say many stupid things. Kind of like posting a lot and quickly. Typos, misspellings and out right gaffes creep in.
This is why Fred Thompson is a genius.
you might think that, but the sheer consistency of them (not counting the 2 sentences of this post) seem to put this comparison in doubt.
