I don't think it was photoshopped.

Boy Scout rejected for Eagle Scout after coming out gay (USA TODAY Coverage)

Jerks.

1:20PM EST October 5. 2012 - A California couple says their 17-year-old son, who has been a Boy Scout for more than a decade, has met all the qualifications to become an Eagle Scout, but has been blocked by his scoutmaster for the group's highest honor because he is gay.

Ryan Andresen, who recently came out to his friends and family as gay, has completed his final project in his bid to become an Eagle Scout.

It was a "tolerance wall" he built to oppose bullying in school by using tiles illustrated by elementary school students, the San Jose Mercury News says.

The scoutmaster for Troop 212 in Moraga, Calif., told 17-year-old Ryan's father, Eric, the troop's chief administrator, on Sunday that his son wouldn't be able to get the award, NBC News reports.

Graphic on my feelings of Romney in the debate.

A good photoshop opportunity. "No mas pantalones!"

Great statement on the debate by a musician friend of mine.

Obama looked like a man with a full time job and a part time hobby called the campaign. Romney acted like a man who’s hobby had just become his full time job and he was delighted.

Romney flip flopped on every campaign promise but one: getting the wealthy to pay their fair share. He’s agin’ it. If I were a serious conservative I’d wake up thinking what a great candidate for getting rid of the guy we don’t like, but I’d have this nagging feeling that I might be getting into the fire from the frying pan and that would make me gleefully nervous.

Romney has no experience as a successful governor. He is a businessman, not a leader. Governance is for him, an act. He has stood in front of the customers of companies he was turning around and pretending to reassure them when actually he was carving them up to satisfy his real customers, the investment bankers and hedge fund types. He stood in front of employees he promised to lead to a more secure future when in fact he was assessing who would be laid off first, next and after next. The employees and company customers were products he would sell after selling himself as something he is not: a leader, a creator, a man of his word.

One thing differentiates the hobbyist from the professional in most cases: when directly confronted on their credentials for the professionalism of their act, a hobbyist becomes irate. A true professional looks back in puzzlement, shakes their head, and tunes their axe, checks their set list and goes about doing the job. They may decide to brush up on some skills and improve their act.

It may be the replay of last year’s LSU vs Alabama first encounter. One team won but barely and the other wasn’t ready to play hard. Later that year, situations were different.

Sweet graphic on Romney's debate style.

Cringing at the thoughts of the "pundits" comments after the debate this evening

Makes me really miss Walter Cronkite and news that dealt with concise facts rather than personal opinion or corporate marching orders.

A nice McD's graphic from FB

Political cartoons that gave me a chuckle.

Zinger: A sharp, sudden tooth pain. Often following dental treatments such as whitening.

What the heck if Romney wants to dodge the debate by feigning tooth pain I guess he can.

I haven't noticed any Romney crowds like this.
