The cynical side of me is pulling for Herman Cain. Washington is such a pit of bribery and payoffs that democracy no longer exists. So why not put a real clown in the White House? After all, just like corporations, clowns are people too. And besides, what better example do define the Republican Base than Herman Cain?
Herman Cain just spoke down here a few miles away at a Tea Party event at the dog track. The crowd waited 3 hours for him to appear, local news reported that a few women fainted in his presence. The area he spoke at is La Marque, Texas (between Houston and Galveston) where at high school football games the parents in the stands pray to Jesus with individual electric blow horns. Pat Robertson donated the blow horns. The courts said they could not use the government owned public address system to pray to Jesus so the blow horns.
It is also where when helping my boy’s band set up to play at the local community center a few years back I wandered around the building to find a sign on the event board, "KKK Meeting, every other Tuesday 7pm." The Klan alive and well in Texas.
