Chemistry news: Santorum (St) reaches melting point

Rick Santorum surprised America by dropping out of the Republican race to the presidential election in November, in which he was been losing ground to Mitt Romney. It's almost a law of physics: the more you repeat ‘no’ the closer you are to say ‘yes’. The hardness of moral principles is not enough to make a solid person, no matter how harsh and uncompromising they are, and the chance of losing at home in Pennsylvania can scare any elephant. As for multimillionaire Romney, he can finally take a deep breath and stop pretending to care about moral issues, the poor and all that humanitarian crap. He has made quite an effort to appear to have a heart; we even feared he might suffer a wallet stroke.

Former U.S. president is missing

Nobody knows George W. Bush present whereabouts. His absence has been particularly noticed at Mitt Romney‘s campaign for Republican nomination, especially after the candidate been endorsed by Jeff Bush and George H. Bush. Apparently noticed with joy, since George W. remains unpopular and is still seen as responsible for the state of the economy, and therefore his support would eventually undermine Romney. So if you see George W. Bush, please contact your local authorities and you might get a reward, especially if you are a Democrat or a supporter of Rick Santorum. If you support Gingrich or Paul, don’t bother to call.

Gingrich was yesterday’s big winner

Newt Gingrich was still hoping to revive his candidacy for the GOP nomination to the US presidential election. With this in mind, he was committed to win in the remaining southern states, where he has greater support. By losing yesterday in Alabama and Mississippi, Gingrich is definitely out of the Republican race. A great relief to the former speaker of the House of Representatives, who will have more time for visiting zoos and petting dinosaurs, and also escapes to a defeat far more difficult to swallow against Obama in November. Gingrich was so happy, he announced he will celebrate by continuing in the ballots till the end, despite no one is hearing what he says anymore.

Mitt Romney closest to nomination after Super Tuesday

Until June, Republicans will continue to choose the candidate who will face Barack Obama in the presidential election to be held on November. Yesterday 10 states went to vote, with six victories to Romney. The GOP (Grand Old Party) candidates struggle to convince Americans that they will not give them health care or any of kind social support, as a way of persuade them they are the right choice. Many voters seem to want to choose a kind of religious leader, these being divided between Santorum and Gingrich. But, fortunately for Romney, that leaves many who are more concerned about the economy than about knowing whether aspirin is a drug for headache or is a contraceptive that should be placed between the knees.

Man registers dog to vote

Thomas Tolbert, an American from Albuquerque, New Mexico, decided to have fun seeing if he could register his dog to vote. After having received the voter’s card for Buddy, he exposed how easy this fraud can be committed, since no one checks the data provided. But the county clerk, with a sense of humor that is typical of administrative professionals, has already said that Tolbert broke the law and now he must answer for what he did, being subjected to a penalty up to five years in prison. And if then Tolbert, a Republican, expects a favorable testimony by the dog, perhaps he will instead end up with a pee on his pants, for he registered Buddy as a Democrat.
