Romney appears to have angered the entire of the British Isles in the past 24 hours.
Worse still, it seems that his fundraiser, which happened tonight, might not exactly be a huge success it sounds like attendance could be a little thin.
Tickets to the event, which were originally priced at between $25,000 and $75,000, were being given away for just $1,000 a few hours before the event, UK right wing blogger Guido Fawkes tweets. Milo Yiannopoulos, a UK tech blogger, says he was offered a free ticket to the event three times.

You're running for your city council and while out canvassing you're invited into your neighbor's home; you hand them a pamphlet and then tell them their interior decorating is cheesy and their dog is ugly before hitting them up for a campaign contribution. How much money do you think you'll get?

brings a slow smile to my face...to change into a lopsided grin...turning then to, short bursts of laughter...to finally, side aching Guffaws.
