Herman Cain, he of the short-lived Presidential candidacy of 2012 due in large part to multiple sexual harassment allegations, says that he is considering a Presidential run again in 2016.
Based on the offhand chance, one supposes, that over the course of the last four years a majority of Americans have decided that what we really need to turn this country around is a sexual pervert.

Compare and contrast
After the bombing in Boston which resulted in three deaths and countless injuries...
...on the one hand, we have a group of people we'll politely describe as conservatives coming out with conspiracy theories, questioning the hearts of all Muslims based on, at the time, speculation, the blaming of our immigration policies for the actions of a few, and the usual call for guns, guns, and more guns (because what would have made the situation so much better would be for a bunch of numbnuts to be shooting at anything that goes bump in the night). Nothing but lunacy, divisiveness, and hatred.
On the other hand...we have the Boston police, the FBI, the ATF, first responders and all the other government workers who were involved, you know the ones conservatives whine about as being overpaid with their tax dollars, and it took them, working as a team, a whole four days to find and kill/capture the suspects. Man, that Obama is so incompetent.
And what about those mangy Taxachussetts Liberals? Imagine them staying in their homes all day without whining (or shooting law enforcement because it's all just a plot to get their guns!) so law enforcement could do their jobs, for their own safety, and so the desired end result, the suspects capture, could happen. And then imagine the gall of those people, after law enforcement had successfully stopped the suspects, coming out of their homes and standing in the streets to cheer and thank those overpaid with our tax dollars law enforcement officials. And screaming "U.S.A." while waving the American flag. Man, those Liberals really do hate America.
Which group makes you prouder to be an American?

A good caining
I only saw a few minutes of Herman Cain's press conference today, but my response was (actually said aloud), "You're a fucking liar." (Followed by me frantically looking around the break room to make sure no one else was in there with me.) I mean, really, one accuser and you might be willing to give the guy the benefit of the doubt. But five?
And you have to love the bullshit about how it was orchestrated by the Democrats. Really? Because I can pretty much guarantee that the Obama re-election campaign staff from top to bottom is praying Herman Cain is the candidate they face in November 2012.
But what really kills me is this idea that somehow this is firing up the republican base because it's all a plot by the "mainstream media and the Liberals." Horsehit. Sex sells--Bill Clinton brought on much unwanted media exposure in his tryst with Monica Lewinsky. And they're just defending their flavor of the month--fair enough (not like we didn't defend Bill Clinton, though in fairness to us Clinton's sexcapades were consensual) but skip the phony persecution complex.
Herman Cain is a pervert--don't blame bogeymen for an inconvenient fact.

Out of the inkwell
There's an old circus clown act where a Volkswagen drives into the big tent and one clown after another comes pouring out of the car--a seemingly endless parade of white faces with big red noses.
This would also be an apt description of the race for the republican nominee to be the next President of the United States. Note the following:
Abt/SRBI for Washington Post/ABC News. 10/31-11/3. Registered voters (Republicans and GOP-leaning independents). MoE ±5.5% (9/29-10/2 results):
Mitt Romney: 24 (25)
Herman Cain: 23 (17)
Rick Perry: 13 (17)
Newt Gingrich: 12 (9)
Ron Paul: 8 (9)
Michele Bachmann: 4 (7)
Rick Santorum: 1 (2)
Jon Huntsman: 1 (1)
A few months back, Michelle Bachmann was the queen of the republican prom. Unfortunately, it turned out she was a nutjob. Then Rick Perry was the shit's favorite turd. Unfortunately, it turned out he had absolutely no talent for even faking that he was qualified to be President. Now the great white hope (so to speak) is one Herman Cain. Unfortunately, it turns out he is a pervert...oh, wait--it's okay in republican circles to be a perv (unless your name is Bill Clinton) as Mr. Cain's numbers have gone up despite the three sexual harassment complaints against him as reported this week.
God only knows who will be the next saviour, but frankly the only candidate who can pass the emaycee test (who has a better chance to be President--me or "insert name of republican candidate"?) is Mitt Romney. For fuck's sake--I'm not even running and I'm pretty damn certain 7 out of their 8 current candidates have the same odds of being President as I do: a trillion to one. And after John Kerry flip flopped his way to failure in 2004, you know the Obama team is salivating at facing Mitt Romney.
The upshot of this? Barack Obama may be the luckiest s.o.b. on the planet. Despite a punch drunk economy and a less than enthusiastic Democratic base, he still stands a decent chance of being re-elected. And if the republicans elect anyone other than "always around 25%" Mitt, he'll probably win re-election in a landslide.
And we'll get to spend four more years bitching about him.
