Flip-Flopping, Hair Muss Romney's Campaign

WASHINGTON -- We're getting a peek into one Republican's presidential campaign -- though he'd probably have preferred to keep it secret.

The Boston Globe got hold of what is supposed to be a PowerPoint presentation from former Massachusetts Governor Mitt Romney's campaign. And it covers a wide range of topics.

For one thing, it reveals that advisers worry that Romney's hair is too perfect.

There are also ideas for dealing with voters' concerns about him being a Mormon, and any perceptions that he's a "phony" or a "political opportunist."

In another section, it's suggested that Romney differentiates himself from a fellow Republican, President George W. Bush, with just a single word: "intelligence."

A Romney spokesman contacted by The Associated Press is declining to verify the document is authentic.

I feel bad for laughing.

But I'm curious where the term slopes came from. What does that refer to?

[zttrftwsq]

It ruins the joke when you have to look it up in a slang dictionary. Better luck next time Q Cubed, maybe you'll get a funny joke

[ensuppono]

You stupid woman!

When are you off up to the beautiful Teesside riviera?

[Jenisoisy]

So really, it is just Q Cubed then? Everyone else just laughed so they didn't look stupid

Oh, Nebraska then, I always confuse the two. Why did you guys create two identical states anyway?

"Japan's slopes emerge as international ski magnet" I don't get it.

It's no longer as commonly used as it once was, back in the 40s-70s.

Of course, other such slang that fell into disuse include "Nips", "Zipperheads", and the like.

That said, I still find it inordinately funny.

Like this one:

You guys never say "Apocalypse Now"? Alas, I don't often find myself in situations in which saying "Apocalypse Now" would be particularly witty or appropriate

I think the phrase that's going around these days is "Serenity Now". (I realize that's not where it's from, originally, but I think that video's funnier, in a more twisted way.)
