Willard responds to Romneyhood
comes up with "Obamaloney" Oh man, not even in the same league. 
someone who HAS seen 20 years of Romney's taxes
is Arthur Culvahouse Jr. He was the head of John McCain's VP committee, in charge of vetting the VP candidates. He is also as slimey as a snail in the rain, and would sell his mother for a dollar. Loyalty and integrity are foreign concepts to rich RW'rs. Not too bright either, as his his selection of Palin proves. I think the trail leads to him, somehow, not saying he himself told Harry Reid, but perhaps he told someone else, who did.
#Romneyhood trending on Twitter
(c'mon, lets make it #1)
#RomneyHood Where all men get Viagra and all women get a probe
#RomneyHood wants to steal $2,000 from each of us so that @RealDonaldTrump can put 24K gold plating on every one of his toilets and bidets.
#RomneyHood thinks all the trees in Sherwood Forest are the right height.
In #RomneyHood patriotism means dodging the draft, outsourcing U.S. jobs, banking in foreign countries, evading taxes, punishing the poor.
#RomneyHood Where Hispanics self-deport and African-Americans lose the right to vote.
#RomneyHood where #ChickenHawks send your kids to die in their wars & you pay interest to the Chinese instead of having access to healthcare
#RomneyHood we send your kids to war and ours to France.
who is Reid's source?
could it be Arthur Culvahouse, who was head of McCain's VP commitee? He also had contact with Bain Managing Director Stephen G. Pagliuca here at a conference together in Hong Kong 2007. Culvahouse could also be a "Bain investor" or have contact with many who are, through mutual contacts, as well as having intimate familiarity with Romney's tax returns. I can imagine rich guys at the country club after a few martinis, gossiping about Willards tax schemes.

Or maybe Steve Schmidt ? Although he says he never "saw" Romneys tax returns, it doesn't mean someone didn't tell him they were toxic.
Or is Captain Morgan and Coke a bad idea after a 12 hour shift?
10 Sikh Women You Should Know and Why You Should Know Them
http://www.huffingtonpost.com/valarie-kaur/10-sikh-women-you-should-know_b_1353700.htmlIf you ask a Sikh about their religion, the first thing you will hear is belief in the Oneness of God. The second is that Sikh men wear turbans to cover their long hair, an article of faith which tragically became a target after 9/11 (See, I just did it). But if you linger a minute longer, you will hear us beam about the equality of women in our faith. Unlike in most other religions, our scriptures are explicit about women as equal in the eyes of God.
What if you asked for names of famous Sikh women? You will hear a short pause. Then, a slight effort in concentration, before: Ah ha! There's Mata Tripta, the mother of the first Guru! And Mata Nanki, the sister of the first Guru! And Mata Khivi, wasn't she the second Guru's wife? You will hear an earful of mothers, sisters, and wives of the Ten Gurus, or teachers of the Sikh faith in the 15th and 16th centuries. As the list ends there, you may begin to sense there is something amiss. It's time to confront the gap between our ideals and how we live them.
Sikhs Americans like me talk a great deal about women's equality, but we are steeped in an old patriarchal culture that makes us complicit in the erasure of women, past and present. Even the few famous women in our history are defined in relation to their men. Their full contributions as thinkers, poets and warriors unto themselves are eclipsed by the men they supported. The real life consequence? Sikh girls today are told they're fully equal, and yet many are expected to carry out traditional gender roles -- with few role models to suggest otherwise.

President Clinton at Hubert Humphrey ceremony
http://www.startribune.com/local/stpaul/164988816.html#More than 30 years after he died, Hubert H. Humphrey finally has a memorial on the State Capitol grounds in St. Paul.
A 7-foot bronze statue of "The Happy Warrior" was dedicated Saturday, with tributes from former President Bill Clinton and a bipartisan who's-who of Minnesota politics, including former Vice President Walter Mondale, who considered Humphrey a mentor.
Appropriately, the statue shows Humphrey gesturing and apparently in mid-sentence, delivering one of the passionate speeches for which he was famous.
(my grandmother was buried at Lakewood Cemetery, at her request, to be near HHH. He was loved by many in Minnesota. The article mentions the Sen.Knute Nelson statue, he was my Dad's great uncle. )
Bill Clinton in Minnesota today for HHH statue ceremony and dinner
