Things like Social Security, Medicare and veterans benefits. Romney said to his wealthy friends: There are 47 percent of the people who [...] are dependent upon government, who believe that they are victims, who believe the government has a responsibility to care for them, who believe that they are entitled to health care, to food, to housing, to you-name-it.

Sometimes a bunch of words helps to tell a story. Sometimes an assortment of pictures helps illustrate a point. But sometimes, all you need is a video of two old dudes being awesome and discussing life, love, and the pros and cons of Adele . I can’t decide if my favorite part is when they listen to “Ms. New Booty” or when they mistake Snooki for “nookie” or when they sing “New York, New York” or when they all wave to the passing car, but I know my least favorite part is that neither of these men is my grandfather.
