Ann Romney happy with horse's 'fabulous' ride - POLITICO.com: "Ann Romney, who co-owns Rafalca, said: "It was wonderful. She was elegant and consistent again. We just love her."

The Romney tax plan, in one chart

A while back, Ezra posted a chart detailing the differences between the Romney and Obama tax plans, while emphasizing how small the sliver of the population that got big cuts from Romney (and big hikes from Obama) is. But there are new estimates, detailed earlier Wednesday, from William Gale and Adam Looney of the Tax Policy Center of the Romney plan’s impact if it’s paid for with cuts to tax breaks, and if it’s not. So I thought I’d apply the same charting approach to the new figures:

The blue bars indicate how the plan would affect after-tax income if the rate cuts are paid for with tax break cuts, and the red bars show its effects without making up the lost revenue. The top 0.1 percent see incomes that are 8.6 percent higher without paying for the rate cuts, and 4.4 percent higher if they’re fully financed. Meanwhile, the bottom 95 percent of taxpayers see incomes fall by 1.1 percent if the rate cuts are paid for by cutting tax breaks.

Romney says he won't watch wife's horse in Olympics - POLITICO.com: "There'll be no pictures of Mitt Romney watching his wife’s Olympic horse this summer in London.

Romney, the presumptive Republican presidential nominee, told Bob Schieffer in an interview aired Sunday on CBS’s “Face the Nation” that his wife, Ann, is “quite thrilled” that her horse, Rafalca, qualified for the 2012 London games but he’ll be too busy to attend the dressage events."

Ann Romney's $990 shirt - worth it?

The bird print top, made by Reed Krakoff costs $990, a saleswoman at the designer’s store in Manhattan told Styleite. The piece is part of the Krakoff’s spring 2012 ready-to-wear collection. A publicist for the line told ABC News that they “had nothing to do with” Romney wearing the item. “She must have bought it from Saks or Bergdorf’s, we definitely didn’t send it to her,” she said.

Romney wore the shirt (but not the matching pants made to go with it) during an appearance on “CBS This Morning” with her husband, Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney.
