The Book of M-O-R-O-N

Well, it's been a wild couple weeks in the world of Williard Mitt Romney.

First, he proclaims himself a "lifelong hunter" to appeal to the gun-lover types. Only to have it be discovered that he's not at all a hunter. He then says he's a "Varmint Hunter". Which means, I guess that Romney would catch mice in traps and then shoot them with a bb gun or something.

Next, he went on to say that it wasn't all that important to catch Osama bin Laden. Which, though we are five-and-a-half years removed still strikes me as something that will get about unanimous approval.

And now, this guy who has to overcome perception that he belongs to a faith that is (fairly or not) rather "cultish" has stated his favorite book is "Battlefield Earth", written by the founder of "Scientology". Oy!

I'll go with this description from people that know how to describe bad things (in reference to the movie, which manages to be worse than the book):

In the year 3000 man is an endangered species, enslaved, severely unshowered, beholden to a cruel alien race fond of dreadlocks and really impractical boots. Only one man can break the yoke of slavery and lead mankind to victory over their cruel tyranny. And that one man is television character actor Peter MacNicol. Wait – slight error there. Salt of the earth, Peter MacNicol, but it's not him. Actually, the one man who can break the yoke of slavery and lead mankind to victory is Johnny Goodboy Tyler (Barry Pepper), if you can believe that. Yes, Battlefield Earth, L. Ron Hubbard's epic tale of why you should become a Scientologist splashes* across the big screen in John Travolta's masterful** retelling. Helping Mr. Travolta along in his masterful retelling are Mike, Kevin Murphy and Bill Corbett. Yes, the MST3K gang is back together in full force to take on the most legendary cinematic blunder since whatever Joel Schumacher's last film was.

*like vomit.
**here "masterful" is used in the sense of "revoltingly, irredeemably noxious"
