I hope Herman Cain can start getting more traction. I don’t know enough about him to actually vote for him yet, but I’ve heard more than enough to make me want to know more. At the very least, he would be able to keep the more, for lack of a better word, “establishment” candidates from drifting too far off the reservation.
In one example, he came out swinging this weekend over the current impasse over FEMA funding. The House passed legislation to fund FEMA and the Corps of Engineers more to account for extra work they’ve had to do recently by reducing expenditures elsewhere. Harry Reid tabled that and got legislation passed that funds FEMA using “future revenue” (deficits). Cain slapped him for that, while the other candidates ummm… did something?

I like Cain, but wonder if he has the insiders or contacts to actually get anything done if elected. He may be dependent on entrenched ‘old guard’ folks that would make it near impossible to keep his promises.
oh, first

I’m so glad that Cain did so well in the poll. I think he deserves to be treated more seriously by the press.

I know y’all are prayerful people, so if you don’t mind keep my family in yours. My wife’s mom, who has lived with us for the past 13 years died this morning in our home. Thanks.

#3 Doooooooooooooooooooooooodski: I can not imagine the grief you and yours are feeling; if it approaches what I have been going through with the loss of my friend Kevin, it really sucks loudly. I know as you probably do as well that grieving leads to healing – may they both be swift and complete in your house as well as mine.

Conundrum for the day;
Fathom a government that requires every citizen to prove they are insured…but not everyone must prove they are a citizen.

from yesterday’s O/C thread Hammy #152: Donald Sutherland in Invasion of the Body Snatchers 2.0. I have seen all three (so far) versions of this film and it is still really good.

You think?
It’s like trying to get rid of a hyena problem in Africa by hanging meat all over the village. You end up with lots of new baby hyenas, plus a bunch of new ones that heard about the new hyena restaurant opening up.

#18 Hammy:
Herman Cain – “I’m blacker than Barack” candidate
That is the way that the LIB-VSRs will attempt to play it. I have not found any evidence that Herman Cain uses his race at all. The only time his race ever comes into play is when he describes his dirt poor upbringing, he was the definition of “underprivileged” at yet he, like Clarence Thomas rose above all that crap and made himself a success with out affirmative action. He really is the anti-O’erkle, he is one that we all should point to and say ‘That is how you do it’!

#23 Doooooooooode: I don’t know how close you were to your MIL, but I am sure that you are grieving over your own loss and grieving over the pain your wife must be feeling. Understand that the pain decreases a little each day and the healing only comes after the grief. Just as the Psalmist said in the 23 Psalm, ‘yea, though I walk through the valley. . . .’ remember that the operative action is walk through; it does not say pitch a tent and plant a mailbox. You and yours will get through this.

#24 – I didn’t mean to insinuate that. I think he’s a stand-up guy who is truly “post racial”, unlike our HNP. My list was meant to be a joke.
While I admire Cain, I don’t think it’s possible to run a government like a business, at least for a conservative. The objective of business is to grow. The conservative objective for government is (or should be) to make it as small as possible. Sure, there are aspects of business management that can and should be applied. But the president’s “management team” is Congress. When they screw up (and they will) he can’t fire them.

Stop whining and fight! Step one, get rid of Obama. After all, the only connection he has to African Americans is that his mother’s family bought them and his father’s family sold them.
A black guy, a white guy, a Muslim, an illegal alien, and a Communist walk into a bar.
The bartender asks, “What can I get you Mr. President?”
Why they hatin’?

The objective of a business is to make a profit. Getting rid of redundancy and excess overhead is a first step when taking over a failing operation. Mr Cain will find that very frustrating to accomplish in D.C., but he is the only one running who may give it a serious try. imo.

#28 I agree. An example on a much smaller scale was what Bettancourt did when he came into the Tax Assessors office. Improving efficiency can go a long way. Eliminating a couple of cabinet-level departments on his first day in office would be a good start. My biggest concern with Cain would be foreign affairs.

It is difficult for me to see how he could be worse than what we have. If he gets a couple of good advisors, he would be fine.

Just to show that I don’t “discriminate” between Republicans and Dummycrats, I am going to write a “Top Ten” list of captions for this Herman Cain picture. I hope the liberals enjoy it. Here goes:
1) “Let’s see Obummer play the “race” card on me!!!”
2) “I don’t need no stinkin’ affirmative action to get ahead.”
3) “If I was a member of CBC, I would put Muddy Waters in her place.”
4) “Unlike Obummer, I have a birth certificate and a college transcript.”
5) “Some of my Republican candidates need to drop out so we can have a real debate.”
6) “Let’s see one of those debate moderator’s try to ‘race’ bait me.”
7) “If Obummer were in the business world, wonder if he would be giving things away.”
8) “If Obummer wants to play ‘class warfare’, then I gamed.”
9) “Unlike Obummer, I actually worked for a living.”
10) “I’ll bet you, Obummer, considers me to be an ‘oreo’ in his eyes.”
See, I knew I could be objective when it comes to writing “Top Ten” lists.

“All the UAW officials tell you is you’re lucky to have a job,” Jeff, a worker from the Delta Township plant told the WSWS. “It’s just like management.”
“The other day at work I said to the guys, ‘We should form a union because we’re facing what auto workers were in the 1930s.’ This time we have to form a union to stop the union.
Dog, meet fleas.

According to that article, the UAW accepted a two or three year no strike agreement as part of the bailout. If the goons reject this deal I think the next step is arbitration. These guys will learn they do indeed work for The Man.

Have any of you people gotten a driver license for a kid lately? I’ve tried to call the DPS, but they only have recordings. Apparently in this region, you have to make an appearance to make an appointment, then another to take the in-car test. What’s up with that? Kids have to take off from school (and parents from work) twice?
What documentation do you have to bring?
What a freakin’ nightmare.

Boy, my day took a downturn. I had to fire one of my office staff just before lunch time today. We’ve had two occasions of missing money, but I couldn’t prove who the thief was. I had some bait money sitting on my desk now for four days, and I recounted it this morning and wrote the amount down so my memory wouldn’t be in question. I went to run errands, and $20 was missing. My helper, whom I’ve become very fond of, had no explanation for where the money went. I have proof that there was no one else in the office this morning. I had no choice but to fire her. She went to pick up her boyfriend, who walked off the job where he was working with Hubby. He called me and accused me of firing her unfairly, but calmed down when I told him I’d been dealing with missing money for a month now, and was trying to be careful with the situation so that I wouldn’t fire anyone (hoping it was me losing stuff). He calmed down a bit then and I explained the whole morning timeline. She’s still proclaiming her innocence, but I have no other explanation for what happened to the cash.
Man, I hope I don’t ever have to do that again. Firing people is tough. Especially when they’re so likeable.

Try an outlying DPS office. Ive known many HOU folks come to Brenham to do DPS business and avoid crowds.
After calling I don’t know how many DPS offices, I finally talked to a human (who was really nice, btw) in Floresville (Wilson Co – SE of San Antonio) who told me at least what documentation to bring.
Many of the smaller offices between here and Austin are closed due to some “system thing”. Closest one on their website that didn’t require the two-visit hokey pokey that I could find was in Victoria.

Fathom a government that requires every citizen to prove they are insured…but not everyone must prove they are a citizen.
Plus I heard that Muslims don’t believe in insurance so they are waived from ObamaScore whether they are citizens or not.

#43 Pyro: Let’s make matters even more worser ( :>) ) The youngun has to go back when he/she is 17 and again when 18, but at least they can do that without you. You can also put 4 to one odds that ifn your tester is a black woman and the kid is a white male, he will fail the driving test. That has been my experience with my son over the last couple of years. I strongly suggest that you go out to Columbus or somewhere away from the city and hopefully you will only have to attend once.

#52 Ya wanna go out of the city for the test, and there flaming arrow has a better chance of passing on the first try. The license is only good for a year but they have to renew in person, which they can do on their own, ifn they do it in a timely fashion ie about a month before their birthday. There is no retest required, just line standing mind numbing waste of time Bravo Sierra.

What a freakin’ nightmare.All I know is this, we were told that our kids HAD to go to Drivers Ed before they could get their License, BUTT after all the “Home Schoolers” complained, they changed the law so that the Parent,… and that would be ME! could teach the kid to drive, BUTT, not before we sent off to the State to get a package to teach them, keep up with the hours and all that stuff,…so when the smoke cleared and after Daughter scared the CRAP outta’ me, all she had to do was take the written test!? She didn’t have to sit by a State Trooper and Moor, YES Moor a 1965 Chrysler into a parallel parking space like I did! Did the same thing with the Boy, Butt he’d been driving the Jeep around the deer lease since he was 12 so all we had to do was the class work. Hope this helps, 😉

Scrolling up, Dooood, our prayers are with you and your bride, be sure to give her lots of hugs she’ll need them. As someone else said, time helps, you never get over it, just learn to live with it and after a while your wife and maybe you, will remeber the good times. God Bless

We don’t pay taxes in Austin County. That’s why the roads are so pristine. 🙂 -

I might add that when Daughter was learning to drive I had an old 97 GMC Pick-Um-UP with a factory radio and 4 speakers. I’m pretty sure that I had never listened to FM and certainly didn’t give a crap about Bass/Treble. The FIRST thing Daugher did after adjusting the mirrors and putting on the seat belt was tune the radio to a country station and crank up the Bass/Treble and the volume to about 137 Db! When I
lookedglared at her she said, “bet you didn’t know that your radio could do that.” Well HE!! no I didn’t, the bass was unbelievable, rattled the dang windows and I’m sure the folks in Colorado thought that there was an earthquake on the coast of Texas. 😉 -

ok – how’d you get outta the drive-along test?Well, you take the yout to the DMV and take the test for the learners permit, then you send $$$ to the state and they send you a “Drivers Ed Package” that you use to teach your kid, it’s about an inch thick with tests and a log sheet where you keep up with the hours that your kid drives, I might add that you have to teach so many hours and then drive so many hours. When you get through and send the tests to the state, you go and get the License, NO driving test!! UNDAYAAM beliebvable to me BTW. FWIW; It was this way in 2000/2001, Daughter and 2003/2004, The Boy, I guess it’s still this way?…. Not Sure, Tedtam should know…..ducks and huals BUTT!!!

This is real close to the Chrysler New Yorker 440 that we had. The Cockpit was really great!
Since Hammy’s Mom may be about, I’ll not mention the 3 acres of back seat. 😉 -

During his vacation at Martha’s Vineyard – President Obama had been
slicing off the tee on every hole. He asks his Scottish caddy if he has noticed any obvious reasons for his poor tee shots, to which the caddy replies: “Aye, there’s a piece of sh*t on the end of yer driver. The President picks up his driver and cleans the club face, at which point the caddy says “No, the other end.” God bless the Scots -
