Fearless Predictions for 2012

I have never done this before but why not ...

1. Mitt Romney will be the GOP nominee
2. President Obama will win re-election but with less than 50% of the vote due to a 3rd party run by someone, probably Ron Paul but maybe Evan Bayh.
3. The Eurozone will NOT collapse. It might wobble and might even lose a country or two but it will still be alive at the end of 2012
4. GOP will hold the House and take control of the Senate
5. Joe Biden will not be Obama's running mate.
6. New England Patriots will win the SuperBowl
7. Toronto Argonauts will win the Grey Cup (Hey, I am Canadian)
8. Miami Heat will defeat the Clippers in the NBA finals

Mitt Romney's Effective Tax Rate

My guess is that it is well under 20%.

When he releases his tax returns he is fucked and he knows it. I am guessing that he is going to try to delay long enough to get to Super Tuesday.

Sexually harassed? Quit your job!

So says Ron Paul.

"Employee rights are said to be valid when employers pressure employees into sexual activity," Paul wrote. "Why don't they quit once the so-called harassment starts? Obviously the morals of the harasser cannot be defended, but how can the harassee escape some responsibility for the problem? Seeking protection under civil rights legislation is hardly acceptable."

Really?

Asshole.
