Fat Cat

One year from today will be Inauguration Day. President Obama will begin his second term, if we’re lucky.

Here’s Vice President Joe Biden shaking hands with a Democratic fat cat at a fundraiser here in Columbus, Ohio, last Thursday:

Joe Biden and Me

I’m the fat cat.

Divorced from Reality

Rob Reiner, on HBO’s Real Time with Bill Maher:

Jon Huntsman is the only candidate in that whole group that believes when an apple falls from a tree, it hits the ground.

Actually, I think Mitt Romney secretly believes that, too. But he would never dare to say it out loud.

Update: Three days after Reiner made this observation, Huntsman dropped out of the race. A man with his views has no place in the modern Republican Party.
