The Emperor's New Spell-checker (or: Power means never having to say you're sorry)

"Do you really want to live in a country where fifty-year-old men are judged by what they did at fifteen?" Sally: "Actually....I want to live in a country where men like Romney tell their 15 year old children to never bully anyone, just in case they want to run for office someday. I want bullying to be worse than smoking weed in college." (we make our douches jump through plenty of hoops in exchange for power. Why shouldn't 'no bullying' be one of them, if shallower things already are?)

Also, did the Romney campaign really misspell 'America' as "Amercia"? Because I think that's the perfect name for the separate but equal alternate (or virtual) reality the GOP wants to replace our nation with: a Randian land without mercy, only mercenary ideals, and avarice for all; a place that looks like America at a quick glance, but is a totally different place when you actually pay attention.
