Speaking of CA goobers: Some people live in a special world. When Richard Nixon won a landslide victory in November 1972, some people hardly knew anyone who voted for him. Pauline Kael, the film critic, was quoted by the New York Times as saying “I live in a rather special world. I only know one person who voted for Nixon. Where they are I don’t know. They’re outside my ken. But sometimes when I’m in a theater I can feel them.” A political consultant once told me that a lot of Americans spent less than ten minutes every two years figuring out who to vote for. Insofar as certain individuals are concerned, it turns out that he’s right. Lowell Turpin, as per SF Gate Lowell Turpin was arrested last week after he glanced at his girlfriend’s Facebook page and saw a picture of another man — a clean-cut, white dude that he knew for sure wasn’t him. Instead of calmly asking her about the mysterious man, the 40-year-old allegedly grabbed her laptop, smashed it against a wall, and hit her in the face, according to news reports. Turns out that romeo in the photo was Romney, you know the guy who is running for president. .... http://pjmedia.com/richardfernandez/2012/07/31/context-lenses/#more-23618 I'd guess he's been putting down a lot of those 420 cal burritos.
