Minorities In Romney's Life

Here's a fun fact about Mitt Romney; his horse is the only member of his family, which contains five able bodied young men, to offer any type of civil or military service in this country! Perhaps the Romney boys are too special to defend their country............perhaps they think that sort of thing is too "forty-seven percent" for them.

 

Here's another fun fact involving a percentage: guess how many women Mitt has hired in the past for high paying positions that involve power and decision making?

 

 

Josh Powell's Crimes Might Pay His Family

What an outrage. First, Josh Powell's wife, Susan Cox Powell, disappears in December of 2009, and Josh declines to cooperate with law enforcement's efforts to find her. Then, a series of a series of custody battles ensued with his inlaws, over his two sons. Then Josh Powell's sperm donor goes to jail on unrelated charges, having something or other to do with child pornography, (sounds like a lovely, enabling family) and it also came out that Josh Powell's sperm donor had the hots for Susan!

As if all of this is not enough dysfunctionality, Joshy-boy loses custody of his two sons, but then gets supervised visitation at his house, (since when does supervised visitation take place at a murder suspect's house, or anyone's house, for that matter?) pushes the social worker away after gaining physical access to his sons, and blows the house, himself, and his children up. All done with the enabling and support of his family. That should really be enough.....those of us who do not set houses on fire and blow people up are still reeling from reports and pictures of all this, but here's something new: Josh's brother and sister want the life insurance to pay them! That's right; about two or three months before Josh carried out his murder-suicide, he changed his life insurance, making his brother, Michael Powell, the main beneficiary, and granting smaller payouts to his sperm donor and his sister. Of course, getting help for Josh would have been much less attractive in the face of a huge paycheck for simply waiting for his mental illness to run it's course, and going to authorities with any information they had concerning their brother's premeditiation of murder would not have been as lucrative, either. So there you have it; one family's reason for enabling mental illness and crime. Who says crime doesn't pay?
