Finally, it’s Friday. And another warm day in store for us around here (and just about everybody else, I expect). Yesterday we had our 12th day of the year where we got into the 90s, and today, appropriately, will be number 13. In a typical year, we hit 90+ seven times, so this has been a hot one. Dry, too. My sister had to come over and get some water, ‘cuz her well is getting dangerously low, and I (thank goodness) have city water.
Poor Mitt Romney. First, he said he was a job creator. Then it turns out he was an outsourcing job killer at Bain. Then he said, “nu-uh, I wasn’t even at Bain after 1999.” Then SEC documents surfaced showing that Mitt was CEO, sole shareholder, and chief cook and bottle washer. Then Mitt said, “doesn’t count. That was just some legal mumbo-jumbo.”
So now, it turns out that back when he was trying to prove he was eligible to run for MA Governor (despite the fact that he had been living in Utah for three years), he testified that he had all kinds of business ties to Bain and Bain-related companies.
Mitt Romney testified to Massachusetts officials in 2002 that he maintained business ties during his Olympics work, undermining his argument that he had no connection to Bain Capital or related companies after 1999. Notably, his campaign has refused to deny whether or not he ever held meetings with Bain during his time in Salt Lake City.
So, once again, Mitt. Were you lying then, or lying now?
Just got back from a morning diversion. The fire alarm went off here, so we all got to go stand out in the parking lot for half an hour. Sadly, the building is still standing, so I had to come back to my office.
If you have a Yahoo account, you may be screwed.
Nearly 443,000 email addresses and passwords for a Yahoo site were exposed late Wednesday. The impact stretched beyond Yahoo because the site allowed users to log in with credentials from other sites — which meant that user names and passwords for Yahoo, Google’s Gmail, Microsoft’s Hotmail, AOL and many other email hosts were among those posted publicly on a hacker forum.
It’s always something, I guess.
Oh well, back to work. Let’s get this damn long week over with.
