My reason is that I do nearly all my book-reading on the iPad and it would be nice to have a lighter weight alternative for reading in bed and carrying around casually. Also my old iPad doesn't have the "retina" screen and I wanted to see how that worked out. I bought the cheapest one.

It had a long commercial with Michelle Obama in it and after that I wasn't in such a funloving mood, but I didn't find it anywhere near as good as the one I've embedded, which is just on a whole other level in part because of the use of music, which gives the surrealism a new dimension, but also because it really does say something that feels true about the first debate. It's like a dream of that debate, and the Lehrer character is such a strange guy, but so essentially Lehrer nonetheless. He's orchestrating them, bringing them together. It actually weirdly makes me feel happy. It's sublime.

Given that most of the Americans who Romney hopes will vote for him are struggling to just get by, Henninger points out, this photo is likely to rub some people the wrong way. And the photo has already apparently "gone viral," becoming one of those images that threaten to define a whole campaign. (Henninger, who writes for a conservative publication, likens it to the photo of hapless Presidential candidate Mike Dukakis riding in a tank.)</i><br /><br />Even after the Romneys <a href="http://www.dailynewstranscript.com/news/x1128483358?zc_p=0#axzz1l9jpsMrS" rel="nofollow">used their jet skis to rescue a family of six and their dog...</a><br /><br /><i>Roughly 300 yards out onto the lake, six adult family members and their dog were floundering in the water, after their boat suddenly sprung a huge leak -- sinking in less than 90 seconds, Josh said. While water temperatures were a balmy 75 degrees, the deepening darkness obscured other boaters' vision -- prompting the victims' terrified howls as they were buzzed by other vessels cruising in the entrance to Wolfeboro Bay. Chasing fleeting glimpses of "bobbling heads" in the water, the Romney trio arrived on their two Jet Skis to find three women and three men wearing lifejackets they hadn't even had time to buckle. The governor pulled the two younger women aboard his three-seater Jet Ski and zoomed back to shore, while his sons helped the mother of the family onto their vehicle. In the middle of the rescue, the governor actually took a dunking himself -- thrown off the Jet Ski as one anxious boater scrambled aboard and tipped the craft off-balance. The rescuing Romneys also managed to snatch the family dog, McKenzie, from a watery grave -- grabbing the Scottish terrier first because it was the only passenger without a lifejacket.</i><br /><br />Yet, we hear from the commentators...<br /><br /><a href="http://www.tnr.com/blog/the-stump/102602/the-problem-romneys-good-deeds#" rel="nofollow">The Problem With Romney’s “Good Deeds”</a><br /><br /><i>Start with the rescue on New Hampshire's Lake Winnipesaukee. A good story to tell at summer BBQs, to be sure. But a campaign trail standard? I don't know. For a candidate who is trying to play down his extreme wealth, I'm not sure it's such a good idea to be reminding voters of your $10 million, 5,400 square foot New England lakeside estate, which sits on 11 acres and apparently has enough jet skis lying around that you and your sons can zip out on the "placid" waters when you see some trouble afoot. The story pretty much screams noblesse oblige.</i><br /><br />The mistake was that lots of people like to vacation lakeside and plenty of people can afford jet skis. As the first writer (above) concluded, "I didn't really associate jet skis with the 0.01% --mega-yachts, yes, jet skis, no. And perhaps because, if I owned a jet ski, I'd probably want to ride it, symbolism be damned. But the vacation photos were still fascinating."<br /><br />While Romney does command substantial wealth and can afford the better things in life, <a href="http://www.businessinsider.com/romney-family-vacation-photos-2012-7" rel="nofollow">most people were able to see what these vacation photos really do reflect</a>.Wincehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15002449963597087316noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6329595.post-19033241313557994772012-11-03T10:04:41.198-05:002012-11-03T10:04:41.198-05:00OMG.
