Videos: Romney Says ‘Trust Me’ That He Paid His Taxes — Why Should We?
Romney Claims His Tax Rate Was Never Lower Than 13 Percent
As Ronald Reagan once said: “Trust, but verify.” With Mitt Romney’s record of deceiving the voters of Massachusetts over his place of residence, telling them to ‘trust him’ that he had filed taxes with Mass. as his primary residence so that he could run for governor and, when the returns were released, it turned out he was lying, we should probably verify twice.

Today’s Music: Jimmy Rowles, Ginger Baker, Billy J. Kramer
Jazz pianist Jimmy Rowles was born today in 1918 (d. 1996).
Cream drummer Ginger Baker was born this day in 1939. It’s safe to say his energetic, driving percussion was as much a part of the power trio’s success as the soaring guitar of Eric Clapton or the innovative bass of Jack Bruce.
An early and nearly forgotten part of the ‘British Invasion’ of the early-to-mid ’60s, Billy J. Kramer was born today in 1943.
(UPDATE: What a foul-up! All of these fine people were actually born on August 19th. Sorry for the massive error.)
