Good place to start.

Always the avid conspiratorial enthusiast, I can't help but wonder which faction staged this and for what reason. He has neutralized Perry and given Romney a real shot. Now let's see, who is it that wants a flat tax that will further shackle the middle class, the poor and the small business owner?

Of course, Cain could learn a

Of course, Cain could learn a few things from the Bible, especially the Beatitudes.

Well I was preaching in Baptist churches along the Ohio river when I was 16. Then when I got to college I discovered girls and scotch and realized my faith was about as sound as Cain's 999 plan.

No, I was still a Christian

No, I was still a Christian for more than a decade after that.

Is that when you put the Bible down for good?

Anyway, I'm flagging down the PT cruiser who has just completed his 999 th trip around Darmouth Square and I'll ask him what his interpretation is.

If there were a real God in Heaven, Cain would have the mark of cain upon his forehead.

You're probably blissfully unaware of it, but having had someone actually tell me this with a straight face as a teenager, you should be aware of the racial interpretation of the mark of Cain. (This person was a slightly younger cousin, who got it from his preacher. I showed him the verses in the Bible used to justify this and successfully convinced him of the bogosity of that particular interpretation.)

You have to ask yourself, and

You have to ask yourself, and I do it all the time including now, what cabal of right wing think tanks and billionaires put forth this campaign? Not withstanding the blatant unfairness of this plan, the actual implementation of it and the possible unintended consequences are staggering. It could actually tank consumer spending and the economy as a whole. And then there's the rich, what would they do? Being cheap S.O.B.'s they'd probably say, well instead of that, let's take a vacation overseas. Hell, we can pay for it just by eliminating the taxes on what we would have spent in the good ole U.S. of A.

I wrote this thought elsewhere but I have ADD or whatever the ridiculous psych crap has come up with lately.

But...Cain runs or ran 10,000 food distributing centers that paid help the minimum wage and would have paid half that wage if legal without any beneifts.

And Cain proceeded to kill thousands of folks by delivering fast food that had little or no nutritional content...which made no difference for those who gave up their lives killing others as suicide bombers!

Cain pretends that since he won the lottery of life that those who have nothing deserve to have nothing.

If there were a real God in Heaven, Cain would have the mark of cain upon his forehead.

Life is not fair, but Cain and his cohorts make sure that no one is treated fairly.

I just found out that the Concord Coalition called this 999 plan "insane".
