Gelatin

During the primaries, the Tea Party favorites were all over Mitt like stink on shit. He was too moderate, a latecomer to the conservative movement, not reliably right-wing, yadda yadda yadda. So why the silence since the first debate, when Mitt 6.0 (the new moderate edition) was unveiled?

Nobody in the Republican Party will criticize Romney as long as he's even or ahead in the polls, since it's common knowledge that he's a gutless fucking wimp who has no core convictions. The GOP knows now that Mitt winning as a Paul Ryan/Tea Party conservative is mathematically impossible. Even Paul Ryan isn't Paul Ryan anymore.

The new plan is obvious, and was revealed in the first debate: Let Willard run around like a headless chicken pretending to be a moderate. Let him talk about his experience in Massachusetts. Hope that 90 percent of the undecided low-information voters fall for it. Then after he squeezes out a win, shove him hard until he remembers who the bosses are.

Why aren't Republican voters complaining about Rummy's reversals? That's easy... they get 90 percent of their information and all their cues from sources like Fox News, AM talk radio, and internet blogs like Newsmax and Red State. They've been conditioned to ignore everything else since it's produced by the vast left-wing media conspiracy. If Limbaugh and O'Reilly aren't criticizing Rummy, the rest of the RWers won't be, either. All the ducks stay lined up.

This plan wouldn't work with many candidates, but Rummy is like Jello. You can mold him into any shape, but if things get warm, he turns back into a liquid.

Summer walks in Texas

Judging by the amount of water on driveways and sidewalks and in the street, some Texans seem to think you can grow concrete and asphalt using lawn sprinklers.
