How to predict when Romney will release his 2011 tax returns

[Lemon Drop]

"Mitt gets to choose when he'll pretend to finish doing his taxes. I'm not saying he's a devious sleazo, gaming our tax deadlines for political advantage -- that would be uncivil -- but I wouldn't be too surprised if his taxes didn't just happen to come out on a day when they'll get the least possible news coverage. A news cycle when, just by happy chance, there's some other big story. And the lower -- and more embarrassing -- Mitt's tax rate is, the bigger the news story it hides behind will have to be:

ROMNEY TAX RATE - EMBARRASSING EVENT

20% to 25% - Israel Bombs Iran

17% to 19.9% - Israel Nukes Iran

15% to 16.9% - Israel Nukes Iran; Radiation Gives Iranians Superpowers

13% to 14.9% - New iPhone

11% to 12.9% - Rise of Planet of the Apes

9% to 10.9% - World Series Goes Seven Games / Seven Earthquakes

7% to 8.9% - Earthquakes Cause Nipple Slip Facebook Hunger Games

5% to 6.9% - Kate Middleton and Prince William are Pregnant

3% to 4.9% - Pippa Middleton and Prince William are Pregnant

0% to 2.9% - Prince William is Pregnant"

I think you'd have to ask the author, Chris Kelly. He's a political comedy writer who currently works for Bill Maher. Neither of them likes or supports Mitt Romney or Republicans in general. So if you do, you likely won't find it funny. (I find it funny.)

Nothing wrong with that.
