Romney's relief efforts

The RW are putting out that the noble and magnanimous Romney has generously donated his campaign bus and Virginia HQ to collect "relief supplies" for Sandy, and are retweeting this pic like it was The Marshall Plan rebuilding post war europe. Looks like the campaign ran inside and grabbed the pack of toilet paper from the john, and packs of granola bars under their desks and threw them in boxes, hastily marked "donations". Pathetic.

Meatloaf "would do anything" to avoid military draft

AKA Marvin Lee Aday

There are conflicting origin stories about Marvin Lee Aday's unflattering stage name. However, it seems to have followed him from childhood, a gift from his angry alcoholic father. After attempting to dodge the Vietnam draft by gaining 68 pounds in four and a half weeks, Loaf ignored his draft notice and founded the band Meat Loaf Soul, which later became Popcorn Blizzard.


Just like Nugent, crapping in his pants to avoid the draft. Romney seems to attract chickenhawks like flies on a cowpie.
