Dude! So great to see you again! I thought we'd lost you to Twitter...

Cain, yikes. Personally, I don't think he's ever been serious about running for President. And this lambasting he's getting is bringing it home to him that this is for REAL. Thank the gods, too. The guy's a joke, but enough is enough.

Maybe it's the magical underwear?

But, seriously, I think Mitt has the best shot out of all the Republicans. Even Bill Maher thinks he could beat Obama. But I don't think he can, and not just cuz of the magical underwear thing. But he'll likely be our Republican presidential candidate.

Isn't it kind of scary that the SANEST Republican candidate is MITT MOTHERFUCKING ROMNEY?

Actually, the sanest one is John Huntsman. But he doesn't have a snowball's chance in hell of anything, actually...

*nod* All the other candidates would have to be caught fisting kittens for Huntsman to have a chance. Hell, Cain's poll numbers have dropped a bit and Gingrich, of all fucking people, seems to have gotten a bounce from it. (He's still polling a distant third, mind you.)

	Fisting Kittens would be an ethical step UP for most Repugs.

They'd prefer to be fisting Lady Liberty, oh wait- nevermind.. already in process.

The 'fisting kittens' line comes from Warren Ellis' comic Transmetropolitan where the fictional President's popularity low is compared to a previous President who was caught fisting kittens.

I could have easily replaced it with "caught fucking a dead gay hooker".

	Pugs choices

Regardless of whom ever gets picked by the GOP they're still going to be Koch employees. They had a secret meet up in Colorado earlier this year with a bunch of Conservative Elitist who helped plan out the GOP power plays for the next 4 years. That these scum are all Dominionist power mongers who believe that the USA should become the Christian Nation that it's supposed to be.

Of course even HP Lovecraft told people what to think of Republicans: As for the Republicans, how can one regard seriously a frightened, greedy, nostalgic huddle of tradesmen and lucky idlers who shut their eyes to history and science, steel their emotions against decent human sympathy, cling to sordid and provincial ideals exalting sheer acquisitiveness and condoning artificial hardship for the non-materially-shrewd, dwell smugly and sentimentally in a distorted dream-cosmos of outmoded phrases and principles... Intellectually, the Republican idea deserves the tolerance and respect one gives to the dead."

Yeah, I was just saying the other day -- Hermain Cain is accused of sexual assault, and the Republicans (and, really, the rest of America) ignore it. Clinton had consensual oral sex and America went nuts. EYE ROLL.

Nice to see a post- I think last time I posted LJ was more than a few months as well. I was just telling the wife as we walked thru the Meadowlands fleamarket how you would have liked to see the tribal table we saw there. There seems to be a large amount of this stuff showing up here the past few months. I look forward to reading what's been up with you.

I was just thinking about you the other day too, Jake (lookin' at the Tyson doll on the shelf in my den). Hope all's well at your end... family n' all.

Blaque! Good to see you, man! Yes the schadenfreude is deep and tasty re Cain. Mittens worries me a bit, as he isn't visibly a lunatic, like the rest of the viable field. But hopefully his total eagerness to be all things to all people ("every man's woman and every woman's man," to steal from Suetonius) will save us.
