One might begin to think that the Republicans are a bit inept at this whole campaigning thing.

It's the economy, stupid! -- on Tuesdays and Thursdays.

But we have been thinking about switching Thursday for Saturday because we want to make room for "It's the Immigrants, stupid!" day, which we have been laying low on because we want Hispanics to like us, but since they don't, why not?. Wednesday is all booked with "It's reproduction, stupid!" day and with Friday double booked on "It's world affairs, stupid!" and "It's Islam, stupid!", we are really feeling stretched. Sunday is out because we need that to walk back all of our bonehead comments from the week and to remind people that "It's the economy, stupid!" Wait, we forgot about "It's Obamacare, stupid!" and the budget. We'll just call that another flavor of "It's the economy, stupid" because it all involves money.

OK are we set? Now we have to get busy because we have to come up with something for tomorrow.

So what's the alternative? To talk about everything at the same time? I'm not THAT good at multi-tasking.
