Pain on the Cain Train

For those who are keeping up on politics and have heard about the sexual harassment accusations laid at Cain's feet, I hope to clarify a few things here.

1. In my opinion, these claims are frivolous. I'm hoping the situation is that these were gold digger ladies or highly sensitive ladies who, like many others in the 90's, threw the SH accusation whenever the wind blew wrong (doing a major disservice to people who were actually sexually harrassed).

2. Companies will pay out on these claims because the cost to litigate is more than the payoff. If you have no virtue, you can sue a company or government for all sorts of discriminations, and if the payout is less than litigation, they just might pay it.

3. Cain handled answering the claims VERY badly.

3a. He had 10 days to come up with a decent complete answer before the information was published.

3b. When the info was released Cain had 4 different answers on day 1. With 10 days prep time, he should have had 1 very good answer, or better yet, released the info ahead of Politico.

3c. On Day 2, he played the race card and blamed Perry for the leak (not Romney). This, unfortunately, makes Cain look petty. I doubt Perry was the source of the leak.

4. Perry deflected stating it was probably Romney who leaked. "I could see him doing that." (Real slick, Rick, you sleaze.) For the record, I don't think Perry or his campaign are the leak either.

5. Romney and his campaign have no knowledge of any of this besides what is in the media currently. Despite petty commentators at sites like Red State who actually accussed the leak of being in Romney's SuperPAC (the guy is in Perry's SuperPAC) and Limbaugh who made the allusion that it was Romney, it was not Romney who made the leak. Romney is a classy guy and proves this over and over (including his answer to Cain's trouble on ABC yesterday).

6. I was really hoping Cain would get a VP consideration. The handling of this situation and other situations proves he is not ready for either the POTUS or the VP nod. This makes me sad. his campaign staff are the minor leagues in a major league campaign.

The media and so-called conservative commentators are doing the GOP no favors through these accusations, their lying about people's records (especially Romney's), and their blaming anyone without proof.

VIRUS WARNING

Wow! Did I ever receive a very convincing email today. Since I did have a mistake on my tax return this year, I almost fell for the ruse. A couple of things stood out from this e-mail. It was unsolicited, it was from a person I had not dealt with, and it was saying my bank returned my tax return funds to the IRS. (Your bank would not do that without first notifying you.)

Of course, it also had a link to a "PDF" file. Why do I put that in quotes? Because when I hovered my mouse over it, the link actually showed me that it went to some other website. Look at the picture to see the website. DO NOT go to the website.

I REPEAT THIS EMAIL IS SPAM AND A VIRUS. DO NOT FOLLOW ANY LINKS IF YOU RECEIVE A SIMILAR EMAIL.



The HEADER
As a side note, I have no idea how it passed the Barracuda spam filter. The email says it is from Pam_Delany @irs .gov but the message-id is from 5624897102.4PPR0IZP169555 @ bwhsagtmxa.foczytgll.ru (Note the .ru TLD, that's Russia)
and the envelope from field is from helpfullyj @ pado.com.br (Brazil) The message passed through galati.astral.ro which is Romania.

7 years

As of last Sunday, Noelle and I have been married 7 years. Pretty dang cool. The only reason I thought about this is because my artistic creative juices have been flowing and it reminded me of our wedding announcement. (I got a fine compliment on how well done the layout was - telling me I should be a layout artist. heh) Besides, I really like how we look in this picture.



After 7 years, I love her more now than I did then. But more than that, I appreciate her more now than I did then.

Israel and Obama

President Buffoon... I mean Obama, is no friend of the Jewish people. He proved it again today. I've blogged about this issue before.

I always thought the US would always stand for Israel. But what President Obama is requesting is that Israel shrink itself to 8 miles wide, down from 45 miles. This would give the Palestinians fish in a barrel. They could easily lob their missiles anywhere into Israel. What's amazing is that there is at least one Jewish group, J Street, that supports "wholeheartedly" what the President has said.

As I said, I always thought we'd support Israel, I NEVER thought we'd be the ones that would enable Israel's enemies to begin the events foretold in Revelations. It would be interesting if Romney gets elected and is President during the Second Coming.
