Cain on Hannity radio show

Coming up. Good opportunity to clarify his remarks. I’m listening.

"Paul supports anti-Wall Street protests"

I’m sorry, but when you’re running for the GOP nomination, it’s best not to keep asking yourself “what would George McGovern do?” — Or Michael Moore, for that matter — though that takes longer, because you always have to add the “once he’s done eating a crate of ribs and some waffle fries.” (And yes, I get that Paul was simply voicing civil-libertarian platitudes; but as I’ve said a number

Prediction: Herman Cain's real conservative support about to take a significant hit

Cain’s capitulation to the race-bating of the WaPo — coupled with his tacit agreement to mis-characterize the heckling of question as an anti-gay attack — suggests to me that Mr Cain is either listening to horrible advice from “seasoned” DC spin doctors, or else he’s doesn’t hold to the underlying principles of classical libreralism, making him just another candidate willing to allow electoral “pragmatism” carry him along the political jetstream.

Time to declare war on the War on Poverty?

I guess it depends: are you fighting to war to win it? Or are you fighting the war in order to perpetuate the need to fight it — and in so doing, solidifying your own prospects as a poverty fighter? Until the kinds of morons currently “occupying Wall Street” wake up to the fact that it is government intervention in the markets — combined with a ludicrous “progressive” tax structure

Pajamas Media: "Herman Cain Proves Conservatism Is Colorblind"

protein wisdom: “Maybe so. But is Herman Cain colorblind, is what I want to know.”

"Shock Photos: Candidate Obama Appeared And Marched With New Black Panther Party in 2007"

And his Justice Department’s refusal to prosecute same for voter intimidation? Probably just a coincidence. Let’s see if the Washington Post, who is spending quite a bit of its energy on trying to tether Rick Perry to an old “racist” rock he had nothing to do with (and that his family literally reacted against), finds time to cover this latest apparent Obama brush with race-baiting Black nationalist radicals. Because Lord

A re-unified Germany turns 21

— Has its first dozen or so legal pints and Jaeger shots with friends, then makes a late-night Taco Bell run before returning home to watch a DVD of old Beavis and Butthead episodes and pass out on the couch. Poland breathes a sigh of relief.

"Underwear-bomb maker believed dead in Yemen strike"

Ron Paul not sure what to think, secretly blames Jews and the Fed. Me, I don’t have Paul’s problem: just tell all the proceduralists and faux-constituionalists pretending to find fault with the killing of a traitorous ex-pat waging war against the US that this dude — and not the poor misguided American robbed of his due process protections and Miranda warnings — was the primary target. And that the poor

"Why I didn't take to the streets with my Occupy Wall Street comrades": confessions of a displaced, underprivileged working man fighting to stay afloat in today's unjust hyper-capitalist America

Honestly? Because I was working. Plus, the smell. I mean, yes, street tacos and hot dogs are the People’s food. But that doesn’t mean they don’t tend to, you know, repeat on a brother or sister.

October is a month of autumn leaves and Tubular Bells. And of course, the protein wisdom October fundraiser [sticky; new posts below; TUESDAY UPDATE; FINAL FRIDAY UPDATE]

If it helps, just pretend I’m a U.S.-based solar start-up, and you have no choice but to give. Only I won’t insult you at the end of the day by showing off my whistling spa robots. **** Tuesday update: A little under half-way home this month. Thanks to all who’ve contributed. **** Friday update: I’ll leave this post up today and tomorrow, then it gets bumped back to its original
