Mitt Romeny is on Morning Joe right now plugging his book: No Apologies, in likely a more friendly setting than The View was.

I’m very hard on Mitt, at least I was at CPAC. I didn’t like the answers to the softballs I threw him at the Brown Party and I was unhappy at his general inaction as governor here although he did hold the line on the budget as well as one can in Massachusetts.

I would support him over any democrat but on a political level he doesn’t impress me but he is looking good today. (On a personal level he is an excellent example with a fine family meaning he got the most important in life right).

He is making a good case and he is showing a better face than I’ve seen him show. Morning Joe tends to loosen up guys a bit. Maybe he needs more settings like this.

He declared George W. Bush a good president, Sarah Palin Qualified to be president and Mike “dishonorable” Huckabee a conservative.

Pretty good job.

On a side note I REALLY like the photos they go in and out with on the show lately.

Update: Linked by Texas for Sarah Palin. thanks.

…if they decide to go nuclear on Healthcare.

The day will come when Republicans control both houses and the presidency. If you choose to go on this path that day will be sooner than you think. If you use this power today, we will use it tomorrow. And we’ll do it without the beating of the breasts that is going on today.

And as you might have noticed we have a lot easier time passing bills with smaller majorities than you do.

One of the real pleasures of meeting bloggers at CPAC was discovering new bloggers and sites that you never read before. Dwayne Lester of All American Blog was one of those new discoveries for me.

If you have not read him you are in for a treat.

Well my preliminary tax work is done…

…so now comes my traditional 1 week cooling off period where I walk away and leave the forms where they are. I always fill out my taxes in pencil and then wait a week and them come back to see if I’ve missed anything or gotten anything wrong.

There are a few things I need to check up on as some new forms are in play for me. Due to an UGMA that was cashed in for my oldest I need to check the rules concerning that. It makes his form more complicated than mine.

As you might guess due to the wonderful tax laws in Massachusetts I will be owing the state but getting a refund from the feds, either way there is nothing like diving through the complicated forms to make the “fair tax” look better and better.

(and yes you read that right, I do my taxes on paper, you won’t find any bit of my stuff in electronic form)
