    The Gilded Age does have a remarkable allure for the GOP of today.

    If this were 1863, old_tony would have found a way to relocate to Alabama and he'd be wearing gray.

    Obviously, to promote economic growth in 21st century:

    --eliminate all taxes on all job creators but raise them on anyone poor or middle class
    --eliminate all environmental, health and safety regulations
    --eliminate all public schools
    --eliminate the CPB, the Department of Energy, the Department of Education
    --eliminate all unions

    Actual headline: "Romney's Face and Body Language Betray Unease in Firing Big Bird"

    http://abcnews.go.com/Politics/OTUS/body-language-expert-romney-uncomfortable-firing-big-bird/story?id=17396577#.UG3mxpjA-f4

    Apparently ABC hired a "body language expert" to run Obama and Romney through computer programs (redundant?) to see what message their actions belied.

    Actually, one thing he said made sense, but, man, when you look at his area of study, I can't help but think "wasted life."

    "What Romney was able to do was really show anger, contempt, scorn and pride. Those are the emotions that his voters in his base feel," said Kowal, an assistant professor at Purdue University who has studied both Obama's and Romney's facial expressions since 2007.
