People often ask if I go check out the Occupy Wall Street protests, and I’ve been a few times but I’m more a fair weather protester. [Like I’ll go if the sun’s out and it’s hotdog Thursdays]. But the people that were out there on Saturday (during a virtual blizzard in New York) are the real deal and deserve more respect than they get from a snide media obsessed with making them look ridiculous because they don’t really understand them.
Herman Cain was accused by THREE separate women of sexual harassment in the 90’s, but we can’t find out the details because of a gag order that came with the settlement the women received. I think this needs to be lifted if Cain remains a serious contender because it’s kind-of something we might like to know about a president before he gets into office. I mean if it were that easy to make unwarranted sexual shenanigans drop to the bottom of the ocean, then Bill Clinton would have had a lot more peaceful second term.
Kim Kardashian’s divorce after 72 days and a ten million dollar wedding (which she sold the rights to for 17 million) is only interesting in that it serves as a very public example of the mistake non-famous people make every day: marrying for all the wrong reasons (sex, money, more sex, lots of money) and then acting dumb founded when the marriage only lasts as long as the sweat on a mattress.
That video of Rick Perry acting like The Joker at a recent campaign event (laughing maniacally to himself, hollering for no good reason, just generally seeming like he just got done huffing paint) only surprises those of us who weren’t fairly sure Perry has a mental problem. He kind-of reminds me of a kid that might have tortured cats when he was little and so that leaves Republican voters a choice between an unqualified serial sexual harasser (Cain), someone who looks like a lunatic at certain angles (Perry), and a Mormon (Romney)…yet they are trying every way in the world NOT to pick the Mormon.
Asshole of the Week: Ann Coulter. This woman could be a perennial contender for this spot but she was all over the news this week saying that Herman Cain is “blacker” than Obama and also that conservative black people are “better” than liberal black people (exact quote: “Our blacks are better than their blacks”). In a weird way, I hope Herman Cain is the nominee so we can look forward to these types of cringe inducing comments from her, Limbaugh, Pat Buchanan (who isn’t a conservative so much as a white supremacist), Hannity, and Cain himself.
