Romney/Ryan 2012: Trickle Down on America

The abbreviation of Romney/Ryan to R/R reminds me of something. Thom should research where the term "railroad" (as a verb) comes from. Is it from the charter shopping that railroad barons did in the late 1800s? If so, it's an appropriate term to use against R/R, reflecting their pro-corporate stances.

Mueller's favorite place to pray (written about in "Prophet's Way"), and the roof of the room where the Last Supper is reputed to have happened.
From The Thom Hartmann Reader:
"Thom Hartmann channels the best of the American Founders with voice and pen. His deep attachment to a democratic civil society is just the medicine America needs."
From The Thom Hartmann Reader:
"Thom Hartmann seeks out interesting subjects from such disparate outposts of curiosity that you have to wonder whether or not he uncovered them or they selected him."
From The Thom Hartmann Reader:
"In an age rife with media-inspired confusion and political cowardice, we yearn for a decent, caring, deeply human soul whose grasp of the problems confronting us provides a light by which we can make our way through the quagmire of lies, distortions, pandering, and hollow self-puffery that strips the American Dream of its promise. How lucky we are, then, to have access to the wit, wisdom, and willingness of Thom Hartmann, who shares with us here that very light, grown out of his own life experience."
Weird parallels are happening. Thom's wife has breast cancer surgery, then Ed Schulz's wife has ovarian cancer surgery. Thom has abdominal surgery, and today Ed was talking about getting back surgery soon. Good luck to everyone. I wish them all speedy recoveries.
