The Fun Starts Here
There’s a saying in Texas, “Never approach a bull from the front, a horse from the rear, or a fool from any direction.”
Stay away from Herman Cain.
The pizza magnate, who at one point topped all Republican challengers during the 2012 Republican presidential primary before dropping out amidst allegations of multiple affairs, suggested on Saturday that he would return to the campaign trail in 2016 if called upon God to do so.
It kinda makes you wonder about this God who tells all these people to run for President and then jerks the rug out from under them while howling with laughter. I’d only fall for that God trick once. Being left up the creek in a wire boat ain’t exactly my idea of a good and loving God.
I mean, I’m all for the clown car leaving the garage again, and it might be even more fun with Cain driving this time, but how much fun can a girl stand?
The ways of the Goddess are mysterious but we do know she has a sense of humor
1I demand video or a signed and witnessed document that God is asking any of these idiots to run for any office including dogcatcher. I mean Moses had a burning bush, had to cover his face once he was given the Ten Commandments – all we have is some yahoo insisting God told him to do something — and a lot of folks who say the same are locked up in nice hospitals with padded walls. I am more than willing to believe you have been called but this is not a church, proof is required so trot out your cell phone and post it on U-Tube otherwise maybe it wasn’t God but the wind blowing a gale through the empty space between your ears.
2Marlene, I agree, except for one small thing. Most state mental hospitals lost all their federal funding under St. Ronnie the Raygun, and many of their patients were dumped on the streets. Many are now in jail or prison, and many more are now among the homeless. Health and peace.
3Wonder what he puts in his pizza.
4@ Corinne Sabo: shrooms?
5I am convinced that JJ is wired into God’s humor group, and he tells them to run based on laugh quotient.
6Not blaming God for anything any of those clowns do.
7I guess there must be at least 10 ways to make money from this crap. Newts been doing it for decades. take in a bunch, spend a little, send the rest offshore? don’t they have to account for the $$? because rest assured, its about the money.
8Rhea, Corinne Sabo, whether he places shrooms or oregano on his pizza, the act of opening his mouth lets in air to replace stale air in his head. Maybe the secret is to keep their lips sealed. It’s been said, “silence is golden, duct tape is silver.”
Herman Cain probably has the slipperiest grip on the spewing tailpipe of the GOP clown car to date. (Can’t exclude up and ranting idiots to come.) Appreciate the irony! Piyush wants st00pid to stop, unless his mouth is the yap stopped with duct tape.
Holy bat crap crazy, it’s trilogy st00pid Tuesday! Major blow back on the Kochroaches, Shellie and the Flux Nuts.
In baseball terms, 0/3 for the oligarchs and their spittle pieces. Or, as their version of the manly man Vlad would say, nyet.
1. st00pid gets louder, Palin has yet to shut up and 2. the elected Tea Bags have peed all over the military and anyone serving overseas, while Rupert’s 3. bought and paid for leggy blonds in shrinking skirts are making a mess on the floor of his studio.
Marge Wood, the Xtians have failed at blaming Christ for their behavior, they do not even ‘get’ a concept of a god. Waiting for the little fish glued to their bumpers to speak to them, “dude, this isn’t cool, I was went swim free.”
9not to put too fine a point on it, its his Accountant who is appearing as the voice of God. “You need some money, go get a speaking engagement.” they have no shame and no embarrassment so its always the money!
10PKM, I think you found your slogan for a bumper sticker: SILENCE IS GOLDEN, DUCT TAPE IS SILVER. I want one. That would go well with the one we used to hear back in college: BEAUTY IS SKIN DEEP, UGLY GOES ALL THE WAY THROUGH.
11Marge Wood, wish I could take credit, but “silence is golden, duct tape is silver” was coined before I was born, which is why I placed it in quotes. Wish I could have traced it to it’s origins to give proper credit.
(grin) Challenge time! Most of us know Thomas Paine wrote a pamphlet named ‘Common Sense.’ But who actually coined the term has evaded my research. Have found many earlier usages of the phrase, but none I would claim to be the first.
Historians?
But old ideas can always do with improvement. How about “silence is golden, duct tape is silver” and “the NRA meeting Darwin is sublime”?
12I hope Cain runs – he was my favorite and responsible for some of my best Laugh Out Loud moments during the campaign. He just had all these ideas “twirling around in his head”. It was just too easy for the media to make him look dog-dumb.
13God may well have told Herman Cain to run for President – I’ve got to figure God wants a Democrat to win again, and what better way to ensure this than to have folks such as Herman Cain in the race?
14For those of you who live in furrin states, in Texas keeping a ton of GOPs in front of cameras means the newspapers manage never to talk about the Democrats except in brief, disparaging columns on inside pages. I think God is rolling His eyes.
15I’m with Sybil on this one – that God He be speaking about coooing in his ear is Mammon, God of All rethugs….
16Last night on his show, Jon Stewart was begging … BEGGING … Hermie Cain to run again!! It was priceless!!
17Marcia, you are absolutely right. Cain’s candidacy was such a boon to the comedic profession, they mourned openly when he dropped out. Another self-righteous, self-appointed Republican “chosen one”. That field is getting pretty crowded.
18More than likely it was because Cain’s pocketbook needed a little refreshing!
