Also, I like pizza (though it&#8217;s been quite some time since I&#8217;ve had a slice &#8211; wink, wink, nudge, nudge). As if that weren&#8217;t coincidence enough, Herman is the brother who ran Godfather Pizza, and my brother is my godfather.  Pretty eerie, eh?  <\/p>\n<p>In other Cain awesomeness, Herm has broken the story on the Chinese nuclear program.  <a href=\"http:\/\/2012.talkingpointsmemo.com\/2011\/11\/herman-cain-warns-china-is-seeking-nuclear-capability.php?ref=fpa\">Turns out they have aspirations of developing nuclear capability<\/a>. This is disturbing news, made even more shocking by the fact that, in their pursuit of nukes, the Chinese have apparently developed a time machine and gone back into time to 1964, allowing them to develop and create a 47 year old stockpile of nuclear weapons.  <\/p>\n<p>Now we know why <a href=\"http:\/\/news.discovery.com\/space\/time-travel-impossible-photon-110724.html\">Chinese scientists earlier this year claimed to &#8220;prove&#8221; that time travel was impossible<\/a>: they were trying to throw the rest of us off track.  Of course, I knew that was bullshit at the time, because anybody who&#8217;s ever watched Star Trek knows that tachyons travel faster than the speed of light.<\/p>\n<p>Clearly, Herman Cain has what it takes to be President: brains, courage, vision, and a short wife.  <a href=\"http:\/\/tpmmuckraker.talkingpointsmemo.com\/2011\/11\/ann_coulter_our_blacks_are_so_much_better_than_the.php\">Or, as Ann Coulter would say<\/a>, <\/p>\n<blockquote><p><em>&#8230;our blacks are so much better than their blacks<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Yes, it&#8217;s true.  In fact &#8211; ashamed as I am to admit it &#8211; I don&#8217;t even <strong><em>have<\/em><\/strong> any blacks. Damn crappy economy.<\/p>\n<p>So, as Ann says, you goddamn liberal racists (like Jon Stewart.  If you don&#8217;t believe me &#8211; or Ann &#8211;  <a href=\"http:\/\/www.huffingtonpost.com\/2011\/11\/01\/donald-trump-jon-stewart-herman-cain-racist_n_1070111.html\">just ask civil rights champion Donald Trump<\/a>) better knock it off with your high-tech lynching.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p><em>Appearing on Hannity\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s show Monday night, Coulter agreed that the Cain story is a \u00e2\u20ac\u0153high-tech lynching,\u00e2\u20ac\u009d adding that \u00e2\u20ac\u0153it\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s coming from the exact same people who used to do the lynching with ropes, now they do it with a word processor.\u00e2\u20ac\u009d<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Yes.  One of those high-tech word processor thingies.  Most likely a Radio Shack TRS-80.  Or maybe a Commodore Plus\/4.<\/p>\n<p>Bad news for you women winos out there.  <a href=\"http:\/\/www.latimes.com\/health\/la-he-alcohol-breast-cancer-20111102,0,1136014.story\">A new study says drinking &#8211; even in moderation &#8211; increases your risk of breast cancer<\/a>.  Of course, drinking in moderation is good for your heart.  But, hey, you need to set your priorities (besides, <strong><em>their<\/em><\/strong> definition of &#8220;moderation&#8221;  is about two cases of beer less than mine).  <\/p>\n<p>Hard to believe, but it&#8217;s been two whole weeks since our last biweekly meeting at work.  Exciting as these meetings are in general, today&#8217;s will be even more thrilling as it&#8217;s being held in &#8211; get this &#8211; not only a different conference room than usual, but actually on a whole different floor! And on a floor I don&#8217;t normally go to (the first floor; we only actually have two in my building), except occasionally the mens room down there, but only if I have something particularly nasty to work on.<\/p>\n<p>Anyhow, I better get going a bit earlier than usual so I can make myself beautiful.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I now feel camaraderie with Herman Cain.
