You know, like, once I heard.. from this dude I knew who said he knew a guy that went to elementary school with Mitt Romney… that he actually saw Mitt, like when he was 10, fry some ants with a magnifying glass. I kid you not. Oh, and get this… they were BLACK ants. Do we need to guess what that means?

MSM, grab it while you can.

With ALL of the latest polls showing Romney and Obama in a tie for the Presidency, and the job situation apparently not improving only 6 months from the election, the Democrats and their MSM propaganda outlets are in a complete panic.

Expect more “hard hitting news” stories like this to come out of the MSM as they attempt to save their leader.

This is important, but Obama’s cocain use and violence against women isn’t? Strange times we live in.

So let me get this straight: The same media that couldn’t be bothered to find out that Obama, as a presidential candidate, went to a racist church presided over by a kook hatemonger preacher can take time to investigate what Mitt Romney did almost 50 years ago in high school.

Got it.

Is this the best they can do? Honestly! Is it? Of course, I can see the trailer trash media’s dilemma. Romney has been married to his high school sweetheart for the past 43 years, is successful, and neither smokes nor drinks. Do you suppose they will “discover” and “reveal” that, as a toddler, he messed his diapers?

Drew, it’s worse than that…I read yesterday that he actually kicked his mother while in utero.

For those of us living in VA, they will forever be known as “The Macacca Post”, aka “Pravda on the Potomac”

OK, here’s the poop from a Cranbrook Schools graduate — me. I’ll grant you I graduated almost 20 years after Mitt did, but hey: the wheels of injustice do turn slowly ;p

What the MSM was trying to intimate with this story is that Mitt Romney was just some preppy punk with more money than brains. If it had been any other school than Cranbrook (or, I will admit, a **very** short list of others that I can vouch for academically) I might have believed them. But that’s not how the Cranbrook Educational Community operates. AT ALL. I mean it. Follow the link and see what I mean.

Cranbrook is a very, very competitive Ivy-League prep school environment. I was by no means the world’s greatest student there — I was somewhere in the middle of my graduating class — but I can tell you, god’s honest truth, that I learned more at Kingswood than I have ever learned in college. Ever. And I can tell you this, too: one did not (and still doesn’t) get into the Cranbrook Schools just because Mummy or Daddy has a few nickels to rub together. Students have to exhibit exceptional intellectual and academic talent to get in. When I was finally admitted, in the 4th grade, I remember having gone through a battery of tests on a number of academic and logical subjects — it was like testing in for Mensa, no lie.

High-pressure environments, like Cranbrook’s, birth certain practices and behaviors. Pranking’s high on that list. And frankly, so much the better: it takes the edge off and lasts better (and longer) than any, um, artificial substitutes, shall we say. And at least in my day, creativity was celebrated at Cranbrook. One does not raise high schoolers and art school graduate students within such close proximity without experiencing a significant amount of ruboff.

Was there pressure to conform at the high school level? Absolutely. But whether it was at Cranbrook or somewhere else is immaterial; it’s the same the whole world over. Show me a high school whose students don’t undergo the same thing. If you’re the odd guy out, expect some friction no matter where you are.

As an alum (albeit one who has not set the world on fire), it pisses me off that the Cranbrook community has become the MSM’s target and I would be lying if I did not admit to a significant amount of desire to see retribution. For that, I wish I was a better person. I am very, very proud of my alma mater, as it were; and to see someone who knows less than nothing about it come along and try to paint it scarlet hurts.
