NY TIMES: "Mitt Romney and his wife, Ann, made $27 million in 2010. They held millions of dollars in a Swiss bank account and millions more in partnerships in the Cayman Islands. His family’s trusts sold thousands of shares in Goldman Sachs that were offered to favored clients when the storied investment house first went public. The couple’s effective federal tax rate for the year worked out to 13.9 percent, a rate typical of households earning about $80,000 a year. Yet the hundreds of pages of tax documents released by Mr. Romney’s campaign on Tuesday morning did not readily reveal any elaborate financial legerdemain or exotic tax shelters. What Mr. Romney’s returns illustrated, instead, was the array of perfectly ordinary ways in which the United States tax code confers advantages on the rich, allowing Mr. Romney to amass wealth under rules very different from those faced by most Americans who take home a paycheck."

I hope the producers at least got some footage of this going on. I imagine that kid in Super 8 who, upon seeing that a train was about to barrel through his scene, yells “PRODUCTION VALUE!!!” at his cast and crew and orders them into positions to get the train into the shot.
Also: it’s kind of insulting that the City of New York would grant a film permit to the Law & Order folks allowing them to construct an OWS-style “camp” so close to the actual Zuccotti Park site. Of course, I understand that L&O aims for NYC authenticity. But seriously, they should’ve thought this through a little more.

"They pulled me out by the stethoscope, white coat and all as I was telling them I have a patient in there. One girl has a heart condition and wasn’t feeling well. They manhandled her and threw her on the ground."
