(Newser) – John Boehner is officially backing Mitt Romney for president. The Huffington Post notes that the House speaker has dodged the issue for weeks—and the opening line of his endorsement wasn't exactly enthusiastic. "It's clear now that Mitt Romney is going to be our nominee," Boehner said at a press conference today. It got slightly better from there: "I think Mitt Romney has a set of economic policies that can put America back to work and, frankly, contrast sharply with the failed economic policies of President Obama. I will be proud to support Mitt Romney and do everything I can to help him win."

  JOURNALISTIC TRESPASSING AKIN TO TOURISM'S DOUBLE TAKE IN STRIDE The late Oliver Wendell Holmes of the Supreme Court:" Tourist are nothing less than universal tramps" Sure, Mister Holmes, was not referring to well behaved people, of whom love to enjoy life in visiting historical cities. When a child, this city had visitors that were retained in polite mannerisms and dress---all respective in public appearance. Times have changed! All cities across America are trying to recapture monies idly spent on social engineering proclivities.. The gangs in control of all cities have created the ancient Roman Circus festivities, in order to lull out of hand mobs back into their natural hunting grounds, of keeping the show on the road. Every key city is hawking for monetary gain to keep their gang in office. None of them even think of preserving native cultures. When a city gives open arms to any and all so-called gatherings to meet and have a free for all ball, here comes drunks, women chasers, drugs pushers, side walk bandits and professional hawkers, with their stolen wares. Drunks take over some elevated stream that usually is just a another swamp. At times a river actually exists. Whatever exists, alcohol is the main drawing card. And, who gets all the police protection, not local tax paying home owners, but hundreds of drunks and public rabble rousers! This is nothing but shame on all public officials, in any city or state that openly yields to roving mobs, seeking a nice tourist trap, in order to let it all hang out. Here we have the good, bad, and the ugly all grouped together.. Thank goodness for the respectful tourist that stays out of what is classed as a tourist trap. Holmes was speaking of the sorry trash falsely classed as chasing some historical site. It would do well for the many to dress properly on the streets. Many have looked as though they represented some national garbage collector's union. Still. small mobs stroll late at night-- Pills, whiskey, women and suds are sought. It isn't known who gets the bribes in order to allow drunken parties to actually control all bay areas in the tourist industry. In years to come hundreds of these good timers will be seeking food and housing having not saved for a rainy day. Today, across America these small once touring mobs make up one magnificent mob, with their hearts set upon a federal hand out. Political whores in office are allied in twisting this class of a mob's twisted thinking that the ( GOBERNMENT ) owes them free room and board. Turn on any television and watch socializing commentators and half-witted imcompoops, fraudulently hammering into the same former tourist trap litigants, that the (GOBERNMENT ) should give them free biscuits so that the gutters running with milk and honey could be sopped, as an opposition in staying put while propped in front of TV's. The Roman Circus must move along, to quell the mob's desire, for national socialism. Here the well heeled pro-commie political whore snakes his way into mob mentality. For this parasitic monstrocity of low intelligence hangs his will power on the limbs of professional boot licking!

This guy was Mike Seaver's best friend on that show from the eighties, right? Why does it look like he's been crying?
