Animal Farm
The going is getting weird. Chick-fil-A owner, Dan Cathy, expressed an opinion he shared with president Obama until a few weeks ago – namely, that marriage is between a man and a woman. This so outraged a newly sensitive Chicago alderman as well as the mayor of Boston that they threatened to destroy his business.
Meanwhile, Romney, hoping to avoid further display of his financial success, refuses to watch his ballet horse perform in the Olympics.
UPDATE: Cow wins, horse loses. Chic-fil-A had a record setting day Wednesday. Ann Romney’s horse, Rafalca, didn’t win a medal.
Business Bash
Many Democrats are saying that Republicans are misquoting the president by using his own words. Tim Cavanaugh explains in Reason.
Defined Benefit
In The Campaign’s Stupid Moment, Holman Jenkins says that “in defining Romney, Obama may be finally defining himself for a mystified electorate”.
Union Dues
The Wisconsin public service unions didn’t spaz out because teachers would have to pay a little more for their health care. It was because the state is no longer the bag man for their dues. Given a free choice, union members have been running for the exits. The State, County, and Municipal employees union membership is down by half, the American Federation of Teachers is down by a third.
Tweet Nothings
Even though President Obama made campaign stops next door in Minnesota, Tom Barrett only got a tweet out of him for the Wisconsin recall election. Bill Clinton, meanwhile, is chirping off message.
