Bravo!

We apologize for our recent absence and now we give you Rick Santorum's revelation that he is suspending his campaign for the Republican presidential nomination.

We will now pass the tissues around.

Rick was getting his butt kicked by front runner Mitt Romney so he's taking his toys and going home. He's doing this before what would have been a very embarrassing trouncing in his home state of Pennsylvania had he not thrown in the towel before that state's primary.

Santorum said things during his campaign that were as idiotic as the nonsense the other also-rans spouted. We won't list them for you.

His youngest child, Bella, was released from the hospital before his announcement. This is the second time to our knowledge that he suspended his campaign because of her illness. She has a rare genetic chromosomal disorder.

Thankfully the Santorums have health insurance and he can afford to skip work when she's ill. He may be interested to know that many people in the United States do not have health care nor can they financially afford to sit by their child's bedside instead of working -- in case they do have insurance.
