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.

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 Cracking the Code:
"Thom Hartmann ought to be bronzed. His new book sets off from the same high plane as the last and offers explicit tools and how-to advice that will allow you to see, hear, and feel propaganda when it's directed at you and use the same techniques to refute it. His book would make a deaf-mute a better communicator. I want him on my reading table every day, and if you try one of his books, so will you."
From Screwed:
"The powers that be are running roughshod over the powers that OUGHT to be. Hartmann tells us what went wrong — and what you and I can do to help set American right again."
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.
