Delusions of grandeur

"[Democrats] have tried to say I'm the reason Republicans won't raise taxes. That's not nonsense. The Democrats want higher taxes. That's off the table. It's been off the table for a year. The Democrats are a little hard of hearing."  -- Grover Norquist



There are people in this world with an inflated sense of their importance.  Some of these egos are hyper-inflated.  Of course, Grover Norquist has a certain amount of power, but you just have to laugh at an asshole like that.


Grover, buddy, you will someday die, just like the rest of us.  You may not believe me, but it's true.  No, really, I mean it.


If anybody remembers you, there will be much dancing.

Suggestions for Herman Cain's campaign

Validating my post from yesterday, a new poll says that Herman Cain's sexual harassment problems have not hurt his popularity a bit.  So I've got some suggestions to put him over the top.

Dear Herman,

Beat a servant.

Wave a gun crazily during a campaign speech.

Drown some kittens.

Shoot a bald eagle.

Republicans like 'em tough.

Respectfully,
Monty

What makes a Cain voter?

I saw a Cain for President bumper sticker the other day.  Another message on the same car was that the driver was "proud to be everything liberals hate."  Fair enough.

Now and then we hear the defiant pronouncements of these proud folk.  An acquaintance of mine scoffs at people who buy hybrid cars.  One guy opined, faced with the probability that a man executed in Texas wasn't guilty, that it "takes balls to execute an innocent man."

I'm not sure we should press Cain on his multiple cases of sexual harassment.  It might win him votes.
