   Gary Johnson’s[1] “revenue neutral” (punditocrat codespeak for “we don’t really have to cut spending”) BS package seems to be dead in the water at this point.

   [1] The guy who dreamed it up, Neal Boortz, didn’t seem to say a word about it during the 2012 election season while he was cheerleading for Slick Willard Romney.

   As long as it’s not goopy deep-dish (IF I want that sort of thing, I’ll order a calzone — way, way less mess), I don’t worry about it.

   What I don’t understand is why anyone would want mushrooms, olives, chicken, bacon or ranch dressing on a pizza.
