* So what did Herman Cain do to sexually harass a woman? The accuser won’t tell us. She wants us to know it’s bad, but won’t tell us what exactly it was. Some are calling this a high-tech lynching, but it’s kind like a lynching where no one behind it knows how to tie a knot.
* Study shows we’re falling behind in science and engineering because getting those degrees is hard. Well, as someone who successfully got an engineering degree from one of the toughest schools out there — Carnegie Mellon University — I have this to say: Ha! The more of you who drop the degree, the less engineers there are in the workforce, and the more I get paid. So I have trouble seeing this as a problem. If anything, I want engineering to be harder to get into. Same thing for blogging and being a columnist.
* New Occupy Wall Street: Free food from McDonald’s. When someone had the gall to ask an Occupier to pay for his food, he threw a huge fit and started breaking things. Hey, that give me an idea for a great new mascot for OWS.
* John Hawkins has started a new website: Not Mitt Romney. I have no idea what it’s about.
* The Obama administration has denied that it has any knowledge of extraterrestrial life. Kind of weird they just suddenly came out and said that. Especially as an unknown object hurtles towards earth. And who was that guy standing behind Obama smoking a cigarette while the announcement was made?
Oh, it was just Mark Block.
* Here’s yet another accusation against Herman Cain for sexual harassment. This time it’s from Sunny and she does have details:
* Wisdom of the Day: “Several women now claim Herman Cain exposed himself, raped them and had oral sex with an intern … oh, sorry, that’s Bill Clinton.” –Ann Coulter
* There’s a new web comic out from the artist behind Axe Cop: Bearmaggedon. This time, Ethan Nicole is writing it himself instead of farming out that job to a five-year-old. From the title image, it looks like it’s still going to be full of awesomeness. It’s already posed a great question: Who would win in a fight between a gorilla and a grizzly bear? I tried that on SarahK, and it’s quite a stumper. I kind of want to give the edge to the bear since it has sharp claws, though.
Also, I wish someone would actually make the game that appears on this page. Man, it would relieve so much stress to be able to beat up all of nature.
Anyway, new page comes out every Wednesday and Friday. Check it out and support the arts.
But bears are our friends–they only get aggressive when people, like, build houses and stuff. Bears are good because they’re all natural. Just like E. coli.
I believe that one of Herman Cain’s accusers did say that he made her uncomfortable. So I think we can assume that it has something to do with his choices in office furniture.
Encouraged by Sunny, I would like to go on record and state that Frank J. has been sexually harassing me for some time now over the interwebs. Due to my suit for the proceeds of his upcoming book, I cannot reveal the details beyond to say that it has to do with his use of the word “poll.”
Wisdom of the day: “Where there are too few engineers, there is also a lack of over-engineering.” -Sun Tzu
If Cain wanted to go all Jesse Jackson on his accusers he could say, “Why did I make you uncomfortable? Because I’m BLACK!? Can’t a man be BLACK in this country without getting hassled anymore!?” and counter-sue them for racism. The problem is Cain is a conservative and we don’t do things like that. Did I mention that the sight of Janeane Garofalo makes me itch?
“When someone had the gall to ask an Occupier to pay for his food, he threw a huge fit and started breaking things.”
Does the fact that the name of the “occupier” was Fisika Bezabeh explain a lot here?
Not Mitt Romney: If Calvin Coolidge ran for President in 2012.
I DEMAND to see Obama’s Solar System birth certificate. It’s always the same with this administration: deny, deny, deny.
Perhaps these women have Cain confused with Justin Bieber.
So now we have McOccupy?
“No burgers, no peace !”
Of course Obama has denied the existence of space aliens. You knew he was going to say that after not presenting the real birth certificate now.
So, since this seems to require nothing in the way of evidence or even identification of the accuser, can we all get together to accuse Obama of sexually harassing us? He sure makes me uncomfortable, and I sure feel as if he’s been screwing me. That goes for just about every elected official from the
Democrat party, come to think of it.
Maybe the Obama administration is composed of aliens. We should all feel as if we’ve been probed.
Wow, I’m glad Gloria Allred brought this pressing matter to light. So, Herman Cain didn’t actually sexually harass someone who no longer worked for him…back in 1997. Ummm…and where did Obama live in 1997? And, what country was he a citizen of? And what was his legal name?
@Mxymaster: I have been feeling “probed” from the first day Obama took office. Repeatedly. Painfully. Against my will. (Euphemistically.)

McDonalds should transfer this guy to the shop closest to OWS ASAP!

Frank:
“So what did Herman Cain do to sexually harass a woman?”
Well, according to Sharon Bialek, this is what he did.
“Bialek said she met Cain for dinner in the summer of 1997 after she had lost her job at a foundation affiliated with the National Restaurant Association. She told the packed press conference that the incident took place in a car after a dinner meeting in Washington.
“He suddenly reached over and put his hand on my leg under my skirt and reached for my genitals,” said Bialek, a Chicago native who worked for the foundation for roughly six months in 1997, according to the Restaurant Association.“He also grabbed my head and pushed it toward his crotch.”
When she arrived in Washington to meet Cain, Bialek said she found he had upgraded her hotel suite. Cain took her to dinner at an Italian restaurant, then drove over to see the National Restaurant Association headquarters. But Cain stopped the car outside the group’s office and made an advance, she said.
Bialek says she told Cain at the time: “What are you doing, you know I have a boyfriend, this isn’t what I came here for.”
Bialek said Cain said, “You want a job, don’t you?”

Of course, since I am a guy, what really upsets me is this other story about a woman who was asked out to dinner by Cain, refused, but ended up going to dinner with him and some other friends.
“But she claimed he [Cain] asked the waiter for two $400 bottles of wine, and then stiffed the rest of the group when it came time to pay.”
Abusing your position to make an awkward sexual advance? That I can understand. But stiffing others on the check, esp. after ordering two expensive bottles of wine? That is just rude.

P.S. As new sexual harassment stories about Herman Cain are announced every day, I figure you might be looking out for your next “Not-Romney.” Might I suggest Newt?
He thinks he is a lot smarter than he really is, is a self-righteous hack, and loves hawking crappy books and other swag to his know-nothing fans. He is just like you!
MFL,
Man, when I get a big block of text, I read the first sentence and the last sentence.
“He thinks he is a lot smarter than he really is, is a self-righteous hack, and loves hawking crappy books and other swag to his know-nothing fans. He is just like you!”
You’re almost trying too hard here. This seems like misdirected anger. Did something bad happen recently in your life that we can help you with?
And try using Twitter. From the 140 character limit, it will force you to organize your thoughts better.
Frank:
“When I get a big block of text, I read the first sentence and the last sentence.”
Sorry to hear that reading large amounts of text (such as several paragraphs) is hard for you. Not that surprised though.
By the way, who do you like for President? Or, should I ask, which of the Republican candidates do you dislike the least?
Best Regards,
MFL
P.S. Don’t you follow your own advice? Don’t feed the trolls (or in this case dwarf).
It only encourages them if you let them know you are getting under their skin! 🙂

Did I say dwarf? I meant monkey. My bad.

Love your Ann Coulter quote…very good!
A troll sat alone on a seat of stone
and munched and mumbled a bare old bone.
For many a year
he’d gnawed it near
for meat was hard to come by.
