Dance party?

Maybe not. But get down to it.

999, 999 We're doin fine

The title of this post is a direct quote from Mr. Cain in response to a question regarding the state of his campaign after an Atlanta woman came forward to admit having a 13 year affair with Herman.

I could write more, but it is pretty unnecessary at this point. So, I will give you this funny instead.

A summary of my dating life to make you feel better about yours

There is that guy who:

-Didn't pay, smoked my last cigarette, didn't walk me to my car and asked for a 2nd date
-Worked at a gas station and lived with his mom
-Showed up drunk, in the middle of the night, uninvited to my house and fell down in my bathroom while sitting down to pee. Upon asking why he was sitting down, he replied "Because I hate you"
-The boy I met at a tailgate who informed me that he couldn't go to any bar that wasn't near his house because he always gets DUI's
-The boy named August who showed up late and then talked shit about Steve Miller Band
-Wants all the girlfriend things from me, but is just my friend
-Only had one arm. Which I am not sure is a bad thing, so much as funny in the context of the rest of this list. 
-Was perfect but lives an impossible 12 hours away
-Accused me of giving him an STD........without having sex with him.........with my hand

So..........there.

Grocery stores make me hate children and old people

There, I said it.

Some dude wrote an explanation of Occupy Wallstreet as Cookie Monster

This is seriously awesome. Now, Cookie Monster explains the Occupy movement:

Yes, there always going to be rich and poor. But we used to live in country where rich owned factory and make 30 times what factory worker make. Now we live in country where rich make money by lying about value of derivative bonds and make 3000 times what factory worker would make if factories hadn't all moved to China.
Capitalism great system. We won Cold War because people behind Iron Curtain look over wall, and see how much more plentiful and delicious cookies are in West, and how we have choice of different bakeries, not just state-owned one. It great system. It got us out of Depression, won WWII, built middle class, built country's infrastructure from highways to Hoover Dam to Oreo factory to electrifying rural South. It system that reward hard work and fair play, and everyone do fair share and everyone benefit. Rich get richer, poor get richer, everyone happy. It great system.
Then after Reagan, Republicans decide to make number one priority destroying that system. Now we have system where richest Americans ones who find ways to game system -- your friends on Wall Street -- and poorest Americans ones who thought working hard would get them American dream, when in fact it get them pink slip when job outsourced to 10-year-old in Mumbai slum. And corporations have more influence over government than people (or monsters).
It not about rich people having more money. It about how they got money. It about how they take opportunity away from rest of us, for sake of having more money. It how they willing to take risks that destroy economy -- knowing full well what could and would happen -- putting millions out of work, while creating nothing of value, and all the while crowing that they John Galt, creating wealth for everyone.
That what the soul-searching about. When Liberals run country for 30 years following New Deal, American economy double in size, and wages double along with it. That fair. When Conservatives run country for 30 years following Reagan, American economy double again, and wages stay flat. What happen to our share of money? All of it go to richest 1%. That not "there always going to be rich people". That unfair system. That why we upset. That what Occupy Sesame Street about.

I'm into this sign

Oooooo, that was painful

Governor Rick Perry was once at the tippy top, holding the hearts of 30% of the GOP. He has since dropped to around 10%, due in part to poor showings in debates. Fun fact: he only debated for Governor of Texas like once or twice. He doesn't like them. But, for his campaign to regain traction, he really needed to show up strong in last night's debate in Michigan.
Then this happened:

It was, in a word, painful to watch the man completely forget some of his own policy prescriptions.

Was anyone else wildly distracted by the tweets CNBC was constantly running along the bottom of the screen? Cause I totally was. The best were people bitching about them talking about the economy too much......it is CNBC asshole, that is the point.

They did ask Herman Cain a bit about the sexual harassment allegations against him. He stuck to his line that they were false accusations. Then turned around on another question and referred to Nancy Pelosi as Princess Nancy.......yea, this dude has so much respect for women, he would never sexually harass one. He admitted after the debate that he should not have said that.........but still.

My friend pointed out, correctly so, that sassy as he is, Newt usually references history in is answers. So, he doesn't sound as dumb as the other candidates. But that sassy look on his face......man.

Romney stayed above the fray. He attacked President Obama, but did not engage with other candidates. A subtle way to send the message-I am already the nominee, like it or not.

Next one is Saturday in South Carolina!

Piglet and Pooh would've made a GREAT gay couple.

STOP SAYING YOU ARE ALLERGIC TO CIGARETTE SMOKE

First of all, people who can't handle some ciggie smoke are PUSSIES.

But I absolutely hate it when people say that they are 'allergic' to cigarette smoke. IT IS NOT EVEN POSSIBLE. Maybe it is making you a little sick because it bothers you, but you are not allergic. You just have a shitty respiratory system that has a hard time working that shit out.

Go. Google it. You can not be allergic to cigarette smoke. Tell the stupid bastards who perpetuate that myth that they are wrong.

Herman Cain.........and sexual harassment. SEXY

Perhaps you've read by now, but Politico broke the story that 2 women who had accused Cain of sexual harassment while he was head of the National Restaurant Association had been given settlements and signed a nondisclosure agreement when they left.

Talking Points Memo put together a rough timeline of what the Cain campaign's response has been. It is pretty interesting:

1. Politico allegations are false. Story is crap.
2. Yes, there were allegations. But they were false.
3. Yes there were allegations that were false and I don’t know what money was paid.
4. I don’t know whether money was paid. And it would be wrong for me to find out whether money was paid because it’s confidential.
5. There was a in-depth investigation. And I was cleared. But I don’t know anything about it.
6. Here’s the gesture that led to my getting accused of harassment.
7. Okay, I remember some discussion of a settlement number.

Kinda hard to know what to believe, right? Rush Limbaugh has accused the attack as coming from racist liberals and Anne Coulter explained for the world why "our blacks are better than their blacks." And went on to explain why President Obama wasn't really black, not like Herman Cain.

WTF?

But, things have gotten interesting. One of the women involved in the case has hired a lawyer to review the documents that she signed. She is seeking ways to be released from the nondisclosure agreement, so that she can tell her side of the story.

The ill led response to from the Cain campaign proves that he couldn't be the nominee. They obviously weren't prepared for this information to be revealed. Who made that decision? This is the campaign to be the PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES. Of course things like this will come to light and the campaign needed to be prepared to handle them.

Crash.
Burn.

At least there is a debate next week, which I am sure he will be in! I will miss him though, he is funny.
