Back in the cave days, mostly everything was applesauce because only some things were Iceland moss. In this new day of mental malady and bi-polar messaging, mostly everything is a game of crisscross or wing loss. But we still have to floss.

Make new into old with a fissional
Bass ackwards. Go dino visional!
North Americans exemptional knack:
Extreme fear of looking back.
That's the home permanent provisional.

Lava up the magma and keep it under your hood
It sometimes runs over humans, saying that it should.
Cartels have their shells
And smells to make their sells.
Aetna, active volcano for our very own good.

Romney's 100 hour challenge starts today and ends on Monday, the day before the election. He challenges US to find and define ONE (1), yes ONE (1), leadership quality that he possesses. So far, 21 people have guessed and have been incorrect.
Here are the wrong ones so far today:
Character - no
Charisma - no
Communication - no
Competence - no
Courage - no
Discernment - no
Empathy - no
Focus - no
Generosity - no
Initiative - no
Listening - no
Mentorship - no
Passion - no
Problem solving - no
Relationships - no
Responsibility - no
Security - no
Servanthood - no
Teachability - no
Trust - no
Vision - no

Are 100 hours enough time? What about 100 years?

Okay!

Hypothetically-speaking, which presidential candidate hides his tax returns because he illegally hid money in Switzerland? And which candidate asked for 10 years worth of tax returns from those who wanted to be his running mate? Why stop at double standards, why not triple?

A Romney news update: Romney said he needs the votes of "white working-class voters," but his lack of appeal is working against him. He said people who work appreciate character and honesty and he tried, but he can't act that part.
