Interesting news! Though no formal offer has yet been given, Time's Mark Halperin is reporting insider murmurs that say John McCain has settled on Mormon bazillionaire and uncomfortable grill master Mitt Romney as his choice for running mate.
Talk about a real opponent of Obama. Did you know that, according to the Mormon faith, black people are dark because we've been marked for life for the evil sins of Cain, from whom we all descended? Woo hoo!
HEY, HEY, HEY, GOODBYE After spending tens of millions of Mormon bucks from his own coffer on his campaign, Mitt Romney's dropping out of the race for the White House. Ever graceful, he called the Democrats cowards on his way out the door: "If I fight on in my campaign, all the way to the convention, I would forestall the launch of a national campaign and make it more likely that Senator Clinton or Obama would win. And in this time of war, I simply cannot let my campaign be a part of aiding a surrender to terror." Later, D-bag!
Celebrities make too much money. Subjective, sure, but probably true. Truer still is that very often those fortunes are wasted in inglorious, ill-planned blazes.

Screw Birkin bags, time for money that counts: political donations.

ROM-DRAM It's hard out there for a Mormon: "…the New Hampshire debate was striking in that it amounted to a gang tackle of Mr. Romney, even though Mr. McCain was leading in polls in the state. 'The glee the other candidates go after Romney with is really unique,' said Dan Schnur, a Republican strategist who worked on Mr. McCain’s presidential campaign bid in 2000 but is not affiliated with any campaign now."
