"LOS ANGELES (AP) — Clint Eastwood earned plenty of bad reviews for his latest performance: a bizarre, rambling endorsement of Mitt Romney.

 

‘‘Clint, my hero, is coming across as sad and pathetic,’’ tweeted film critic Roger Ebert as Eastwood adlibbed Thursday night to an audience of millions — and one empty chair — on stage at the Republican National Convention in Tampa, Fla. ‘‘He didn’t need to do this to himself. It’s unworthy of him.’’"

He was pretty pathetic. Kind of embarassed for him. He seemed to be the only one to "get it".

Today’s highly-anticipated event in Charlotte was the single biggest day of both conventions. President Barack Obama’s (@BarackObama) acceptance speech at #DNC2012 set a new record for political moments on Twitter, with 52,756 Tweets per minute coming just after its conclusion.

Yep, that's the micro news especially the US online media are full with. There are so many blogs, magazines, e.g. out there that any tiny bit becomes news now - even if it means nothing at all on the long run.

 

 

PS: there was even a statistic about the number of tweets per minute during the convention speeches...

Romney Flip-Flop.

 

 

"Most notably, Romney said that he would keep some parts of President Obama's health care reform legislation — something he had previously promised to repeal in its entirety. He also criticized his running mate Paul Ryan's support for defense spending cuts, calling them a "big mistake.""

 

Wink Wink Nod Nod

 

 

What happened to the full repeal?

 

Romney was for it before he was against it. Now he is for it again !

God will stay put !

 

"Stumping in Virginia Beach on Saturday, Republican presidential nominee Mitt Romney made an odd campaign promise: He vowed to keep the phrase "In God We Trust" on our money."

"In God we trust" was adopted as the official motto of the United States in 1956.

"Masonic Themes Related to the Book of Mormon. John L. Brooke in his book The Refiner's Fire: The Making of Mormon Cosmology, 1644-1844, noted the following in reference to the story of the discovery of the gold plates and the narrative structure of the Book of Mormon:

 

 

Freemasonry provides a point of entry into this very complex story. As it had been in Vermont, Masonic fraternity was a dominant feature of the cultural landscape in Joseph Smith's Ontario County .... The dense network of lodges and chapters helps explain the Masonic symbolism that runs through the story of the discovery of the Golden Plates. Most obviously, the story of their discovery in a stone vault on a hilltop echoed the Enoch myth of Royal Arch Freemasonry, in which the prophet Enoch, instructed by a vision, preserved the Masonic mysteries by carving them on a golden plate that he placed in an arched stone vault marked with pillars, to be rediscovered by Solomon. In the years to come the prophet Enoch would play a central role in Smith's emerging cosmology. Smith's stories of his discoveries got more elaborate with time, and in June 1829 he promised Oliver Cowdery, David Whitmer and Martin Harris that they would see not only the plates but other marvelous artifacts: the Urim and Thummim attached to a priestly breastplate, the 'sword of Laban,' and 'miraculous directors.' Oliver Cowdery and Lucy Mack Smith later described three or four small pillars holding up the plates. All of these artifacts had Masonic analogues."
