“I love the fact that there are women out there who don’t have a choice and they must go to work and they still have to raise the kids. Thank goodness that we value those people too. And sometimes life isn’t easy for any of us.” —Ann Romney, attempting to show empathy for women whose husbands aren’t vulture capitalists. [BuzzFeed, via ThinkProgress]

GOP Presidential candidate Newt Gingrich told a crowd at Harvard today that he thinks U.S. child labor laws are “truly stupid” and should be eliminated because such laws are “crippling” and “entrapping” children in poverty. Getting rid of child labor laws would “change the culture of poverty in America.”
And then he swung by the Beacon Hill Tiffany’s to get a bauble for his wife Skeletor.
Okay, I made the last bit up. First paragraph is all true.

The Washington Post reported today that “Niggerhead” was the name of Rick Perry’s family hunting camp and ranch in West Texas. The word was also painted in three-foot high block letters spread across a 5 foot wide rock at the entrance to the ranch. The word has now been painted over in white paint and the rock has been turned over.
Ranchers who once grazed cattle on the 1,070-acre parcel on the Clear Fork of the Brazos River called it by that name well before Perry and his father, Ray, began hunting there in the early 1980s. There is no definitive account of when the rock first appeared on the property. …But the name of this particular parcel did not change for years after it became associated with Rick Perry, first as a private citizen, then as a state official and finally as Texas governor. Some locals still call it that.
Herman Cain is pissed. Unclear if Cain is surprised.

Today on his radio show, Glenn Beck described the Norwegian summer camp where more than 80 kids were senselessly slaughtered as a “Hitler Youth” camp that is “indoctrinating” children with a liberal world view.
The Sturmabteilung outfit really brings out the eyes, asswipe.
