Central American illegals being detained in a cage by ICE ... No? Oh, OK ... it’s a Chinese re-education camp for ethnic Muslims.

Senator Harry Reid

Cockroach

Senator Reid just called Clive Bundy's supporters "domestic terrorists" ... see:Politico Story. Apparently crossing Dirty Harry's son (who, with the Chinese, had designs on the land on which rancher Bundy was grazing his cattle) brings out the best in this scurrying Blattodea ... see: Newsmax Story.

Just how evil can a public figure be?

Binders

The Chinese once bound women's feet under the misguided notion that it was very sexy ... and, possibly, with the side effect that it kept their women close to home (even though such binding was actually performed by women.).  Now, there seems to be a (frivolous?) Democrat attempt to suggest that Mitt Romney had used binders as a different mode of subjugation.  When he was Governor of Massachusetts he leafed through "binders full of women's resumes" looking for women to hire for his cabinet and administration (see: Washington Post Story).  Even the previous WaPo story kind of poo-poos the meme that has arisen around Romney's comment in the Tuesday night Presidential debate.  I agree.  This is clearly silly-season strategy and rhetoric.

To suggest that looking through binders full of women's resumes is somehow a degradation of the fairer sex appears to this misogynist as laughable.  I wonder if Slick Willy Clinton ever looked through binders full of women's resumes when he zeroed in on Monica Lewinsky as his White House intern?

Afterthought:  Perhaps the Dems are trying to imply that Romney wanted women to become constipated?
