Who is apologizing? Obama? Hillary? You are making things up, just like Romney. Well, Romney has been pursuing this apology trope. If I were Jewish and the kid across the street called my kid a Jesus-killer and the dad came over and said, "Our household condemns the effort by our child to hurt your child's feelings, as we condemn efforts to offend believers of all religions. We firmly reject our child's abuse of the universal right of free speech," then I'd take it as an apology and forget about it, but I'd be thinking he sure don't talk 'mer'can like me! I'm going to make waffles and fry a pound of bacon like my father and his father did on Sunday morning. Hope that doesn't offend any Buddhists, Hindus, Jews, or Muslims too bloody much.

The Obama Administration asked Google to reconsider taking the YouTube video down. They refused after looking into US laws.

You and I have been speculating about a October surprise about Romney from the Obama campaign. And we think it is going to be about Romney's taxes. Is this the October surprise you think that O's campaign released early so that it has time to catch up with the electorate particularly the absentee voters? Or do you still think we will have another one. My sense is that we will have another one in October for those planning to go to the polling booths. Politics is fun.

This is funny: You may be wondering whatever became of Ryan, who was such a big sensation when Romney first picked him as a running mate. Since Tampa, he seems to have fallen off the face of the earth, resurfacing every now and then to put up another ad for re-election to his House seat in Wisconsin.It’s not all that unusual for a vice-presidential candidate to go low-profile. And it is totally not true that Mitt Romney strapped Paul Ryan to the top of a car and drove him to Canada. Stop spreading rumors! nytimes.com
