Is Coca-Cola okay with Mitt Romney?

As we all know, Mitt is just a regular gazillionaire, just like us. A regular guy, a burger and fries guy.

A while back I received an invite to share a burger with Mitt and Ann and talk about my concerns. There was a    $5 donation request but I figured Mitt would be able to cover that for me.

The stock photo intrigued me because of the prominent placement of the Coca-Cola logo on a cup. I have some familiarity with political photography (I live in New Hampshire) so I realize that corporate logos are out. So he must be doing a little product placement action, just like Hollywood.

Here is the photo (I saved it)


I missed out on my first burger date with the Romneys and my $5 but I just received a NEW offer. Strange as it might be, there is a slight difference in the photo. I have not altered these photos.

Used to be you could meet with your representatives for free. Now you have to buy into a lottery. Obama is in on the gig too, but his price tag is a little more steep: https://donate.barackobama.com/page/contribute/o2012-dinner-with-barack-march Luckily you can just put it on your credit card, just like the government does.

Actually, you do not have to donate to enter. That would be illegal. The rules for entering without a donation are buried deep in the fine print.

Scott Brown Victory in Massachusetts

Email is not the proper forum for discussion so I created a place-holder topic on this PUBLIC site to discuss the recent historic election of Scott Brown, a republican in the very blue state of Massachusetts. Keep it civil folks! I am the moderator of this blog and I can block comments that are off topic or nasty. The Democrats are already in a circular firing squad looking for someone to blame but this victory did not surprise me, even though I'm a bleeding heart liberal. I was upset with the special treatment that some of the senators got for supporting health care, or maybe jealous because our senator Jeanne Shaheen wasn't clever enough to hold out for more. I still have hope for Obama's presidency, but I did detect a bit of back room Chicago style politicking. I didn't care for the secret meetings when I was "hoping" for the transparency and the online postings of legislation. So weigh in with your opinions here instead of sending "reply to all&qu

I'm Joe the Plumber

On a recent morning walk, my friend John Poltrack suggested that maybe I would have been a better icon to represent the proverbial small business man than the now world famous Joe the Plumber . John the Software Engineer owns his own business, employs people, and pays a good chunk of his business income in taxes. I think I pay too much in taxes, but of course everybody thinks that. I made the mistake one time of sitting down and calculating how much of Big Time Software’s income actually goes out in taxes of way form or another and the answer is a very discouraging 50%. That qualifies as too much in my opinion…and I still consider myself a patriot despite what Joe Biden might think. My business makes more money than Senator Obama seems to think I deserve to keep, so I can look forward to being in his crosshairs to pay even more should he be elected President. I certainly don’t want to attract the scrutiny of the crack investigative media teams that have unearthed every skeleton in p
