Reminds me of you leaving for A.F. boot training. Big hug.
Here’s some other momentous things that happened on November 17th’s…
Mitt Romney has a lot of problems, not just an in-law problem. Matthew Mosk (@mattmosk) joins Greg Palast in writing about the Romney family (and extended family) today, and all their little business antics.
In case you missed it, Romney secretly made millions, and his biggest donors billions, off taxpayer funded auto bailout.
Mosk reports:
Mitt Romney’s rise in business and politics has served as a marketing bonanza for two of his wife’s closest relatives, both Utah-based businessmen who have benefited from, and are said to have traded on, their connection to the presidential candidate even as they suffered a succession of embarrassing business and legal difficulties.
Ann Romney’s brother Roderick Davies, who filed for bankruptcy in 2010, and nephew Ryan Davies, who oversaw a now-bankrupt green energy venture, have both been out on the campaign trail to offer support for Romney. But back in Utah, the two men have left a trail of unhappy business partners, a number of whom spoke with ABC News to express concern about how the two might try and capitalize on a Romney presidency.
The family that messes up together rarely fesses up together.

Well, Amtraki is a socialist institution, all gubbermint run and sheet.
J.C. Penney did it and now so has Amtrak. It has launched a promotional campaign that includes gay families.
As part of an effort to market its standard discounted family travel program, for the first time, the national passenger rail company included gay families in its materials. In an online ad sent by Instinct magazine to its email subscribers, a photo of same-sex parents with their child is featured.
Two version of the ad, one with a picture of a male couple and another with a female couple, were distributed. Both versions include the headline: Priceless Family Moments Are Now Affordable. The ad goes on to promote Amtrak’s 50% off campaign for children age 2 to 15 who are traveling with an adult, and directs readers to its gay travel website www.AmtrakRideWithPride.com.
