That Romney move is just so shameless and ballsy. You’d think Mitt’s campaign would be thinking, “Golly gee, doesn’t this banner with Santorum and the Benjamins hew a little too closely to the Bain photograph with Mitt holding up the c-note?”
Ok, so the Romney folk wouldn’t use the terms “c-note” or “Benjamins.” And really, I can’t imagine they’re thinking about the hypocrisy here. If you’re going to be a shameless hypocrite, might as well go full hypocrite. It’s not like anyone should still be on the fence about their feelings about Mitt on this score.

""A powerful argument that the only thing worse than having children is not having them.""— P. J. O'Rourke
For years, we have been warned about the looming danger of overpopulation: people jostling for space on a planet that’s busting at the seams and running out of oil and food and land and everything else. It’s all bunk. The “population bomb” never exploded. Instead, statistics from around the world make clear that since the 1970s, we’ve been facing exactly the opposite problem: people are having too few babies. Population…more
