Mitt Romney finally caught up with the rest of us via a fiery speech in Ohio on Tuesday where he proclaimed three simple truths that frame Barack Obama: "Intellectually exhausted, out of ideas, and out of energy."
Those lines are still too charitable; Obama has been intellectually barren from the beginning.

not that I'm saying he has it, you understand.
Remarkably, it is the only instance I’m aware where the sum of the parts is less than the whole.
The “lightworker” is using a 15-watt bulb.
I want to see him skip out onto the stage like a football player after making a great play. Why do some football players skip like little girls?
