A Bitter Amercia

The funniest thing I've seen this week: "Children in the backseat can lead to accidents. Accidents in the backseat can lead to children". Words to live by.
I once said back in 2008 that no one could write things as weird as the current events of today. A guy named Bernie Madoff stole everyone's money. A guy whose middle name is 'Hussein' is president. Al and Tipper are divorced. Bill and Hillary are still together. The world revolves around things called 'tweets' and The Artist somehow won Best Picture. But even I couldn't predict the latest development from the Romney campaign.
The peeps at Mitt 2012 have put out an app. Using it, someone can superimpose a Romney slogan over a picture of themselves. One of the slogans is 'Romney: For a Better Amercia'.
Did you miss it? Read that last sentence again. You see the problem.
I'll put aside the startling ineptitude that it takes to miss something like that, and focus (like I always do) on the funny side: To fix this problem, the Romney camp has to re-submit the app to Apple and send it through all the correct channels, fill out the right forms, and complete the byzantine network of red tape that it takes to get your app 'app'-roved by Apple. I should know: My G-Force app WAS scheduled to launch last month, but because of a few bugs (the app accidentally charged you a nickel for every text you ever sent), it was shot down.
The typo has led to some amusing photos, like the one you see below.
Speaking of which, Stephen Colbert did a big shout-out to all Amercians on Thursday night, asking to see Obama's Amercian birth certificate. I don't know if this will affect the rest of Amercia, especially way over here in Cafilornia, but it seems to have made a big impact in Obama's home state of Hiwaai. More on this later as delevopments come in, but one thing is for cirtaein: Either semoone from the Rmoney team really srcewed up, or they're hiring people from the jmuble to cerate there appps.
Byii!
