Josh Romney on the Mittens Family Thanksgiving: “We got to stay at my parents’ place; they have a two-bedroom house, uh, pretty small.” The two-bedroom La Jolla beachfront shack contains only 3,000 square feet. [TPM]

“The Massachusetts healthcare law that then-Gov. Mitt Romney signed in 2006 includes a program known as the Health Safety Net, which allows undocumented immigrants to get needed medical care along with others who lack insurance.” [LAT]

“I would call upon Gov. Perry to repudiate the sentiment and the comments made by that pastor,” Romney told reporters just hours before the pair are scheduled to meet in another presidential debate. “Governor Perry said that introduction hit it out of the park,” Romney added. “I don’t believe that that kind of divisiveness based on religion has a place in this country.” [TPM]

Our guest columnist is naturalized android Mitt Romney.

Do I believe that Social Security should take no part in deficit reduction negotiations? Social Security and Medicare are a large part of federal spending. It is about half. Not just this year, but over the coming decades, if we are able to balance our budget, we have to make sure that the promises we make for Social Security and Medicare are promises we can keep. There are a couple ways to do that: one way is to raise taxes on people. Corporations are people. Of course they are — where do you think it goes? Human beings, my friend.

We’re not sure we’ve heard something like this since Bush I:

Mitt Romney sat at the head of the table at a coffee shop here on Thursday, listening to a group of unemployed Floridians explain the challenges of looking for work. When they finished, he weighed in with a predicament of his own.

“I should tell my story,” Mr. Romney said. “I’m also unemployed.”

The folks around the table joined Mitt in a hearty round of laughter, and then Mitt left to resume his life as a wealthy former leveraged-buyout mogul, while everyone else stayed behind and realized they were still screwed.
