Ever since you bought Fruit of the Loom and its plus-size offspring Vanity Fair back in 2002, extending your empire to the firmament of the foundation garment universe, I have been waiting patiently, hoping that you'll turn out to be a revolutionary of the order of Herminie Cadolle. About 120 years ago, Mme. Cadolle figured out that it made more sense for women's breasts to be suspended from above than cantilevered from beneath. That is, she invented bra straps.

Yeah, right. Ten pairs of quality, star-endorsed basketball shoes? Don't you need a second mortgage for that...
...never intended for his Massachusetts plan to be a role model for the rest of the country. "An individual mandate in most states today--in all states but one--would be irresponsible and unfair," Romney says. "Because in most states today, insurance is too expensive." It does seem fair, however, to wonder: What happened to that other Mitt Romney, the one who wouldn't be satisfied until he found the answer himself...
