David Brooks over at the New York Times has penned a hilarious bigraphy of Mitt Romney's life.  Here's the start:

The purpose of the Republican convention is to introduce America to the real Mitt Romney. Fortunately, I have spent hours researching this subject. I can provide you with the definitive biography and a unique look into the Byronic soul of the Republican nominee:

Mitt Romney was born on March 12, 1947, in Ohio, Florida, Michigan, Virginia and several other swing states. He emerged, hair first, believing in America, and especially its national parks. He was given the name Mitt, after the Roman god of mutual funds, and launched into the world with the lofty expectation that he would someday become the Arrow shirt man.

Romney was a precocious and gifted child. He uttered his first words ("I like to fire people") at age 14 months, made his first gaffe at 15 months and purchased his first nursery school at 24 months. The school, highly leveraged, went under, but Romney made 24 million Jujubes on the deal.

Mitt grew up in a modest family. His father had an auto body shop called the American Motors Corporation, and his mother owned a small piece of land, Brazil. He had several boyhood friends, many of whom owned Nascar franchises, and excelled at school, where his fourth-grade project, "Inspiring Actuaries I Have Known," was widely admired.

Head over to the NYT to read the entire article.

Vice President Biden continued his tour of southern and southwestern Virginia. Today he delivered remarks at Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University in Blacksburg. The Vice President shared how the Romney-Ryan plan will end Medicare and what the President is doing to protect and strengthen it.

"President Romney's first 100 Days...creating thousands of new jobs for Virginians." But would he? The Washington Post has just revealed that Romney's companies were pioneers in shipping US jobs overseas.

What better way to spend your Saturday than making sure everyone in your community has a chance to vote in the 2012 election? Doing it as part of a Obama for America National Day of Action!

It's politics over public health. Texas Governor Rick Perry and Virginia Governor Bob McDonnell have been hard at work passing "emergency" legislation to eliminate women's health care in their states.

We've had enough. We're watching anti-women's health politicians like Govs. Perry and McDonnell and we will be standing up to their radical policies.
