A tale of 2 Mitts

Last night I had several dreams that involved Mitt Romney. First dream, he was the "cool, rich dad". I was in middle school and partying like Axl Rose. Pretty true to real life, obv. So, after a night of chasing Mr Brownstone I get home around six am realize I gotta get to the 8th grade so Mittdad takes me and my party bud to school. Well, he drops us off several blocks from the school so we can smoke a bowl before the first bell rings. I get to class, see Nadia, sit down next to her, sorta tripping my balls off over the whole thing. My party bud on the other hand is trying to surreptitiously barf into his Blackhawks sweater. That's pretty much the final straw for the teacher. She's kicks us out of class and we bail on the day to head back home and party with The Mittster.

So my second dream about Mitt was sort of a follow up to the first.  I remember waking up (irl) and thinking to myself "I gotta remember this dream, it's hilarious, EVERYONE is going to want to hear about this."  I fall back asleep and immediately begin another Mittround in the ether but this time we're probably in more comfortable and familiar settings for a billionaire republican presidential candidate.  Me and the other Romneys are sitting around an ornate dinner table and the tone of the evening is anything but Axl Rose.  However, I gots to be me, apparently, and I'm picking up where I left off in the last dream.  Father Mitt is none too pleased.  This is catching me off guard.  I remind him how cool he was being in the last dream.  Wrong move I guess.  He puts me in the corner and yells at me and gives me a book on manners I'm supposed to read out loud as the rest of the family eats dinner.

I'd like to think that somewhere, nestled comfortably between the sheets of those two dreams is a metaphor for the political career of the guy who is about to get trounced this November 6th.  Each dream being an example, somehow, of his two major attempts at politicking.  The first dream, obviously, represents somehow, his tenure as the liberal republican governor of Massachusetts.  Dream #2 is his failed attempt at coming off as a conservative to garner the support of the Tea Party for the presidential election.

I'm just going to leave it at that I think.  Best not to ponder these things too hard.
