Retired NSA analyst: The GOP is stealing elections

The GOP is stealing votes, and the "red shift" is thus real, according to a retired NSA analyst:

Matt Taibbi has two questions for Mitt Romney

Matt Taibbi has two questions for Mitt Romney:

I think the new strategy, rather than try to swim down into the deep waters of Romney's bogus plans, should be to stay on the surface and simply ask him simple questions.

This is classic Onion:

Members of the earth's earliest known civilization, the Sumerians, looked on in shock and confusion some 6,000 years ago as God, the Lord Almighty, created Heaven and Earth.
