I've been yelling at the news every time someone says Cain should be able to face these "unnamed" accusers. Presumably he faced them before the National Restaurant Association paid each of them a year's salary to shut up and go away. These women didn't come forth to accuse Cain after he started running for president; previous legal judgments against Cain were brought to the attention of the media.

Also, the NY Times seems to have just noticed that Cain refers to himself in the third person. He's always done that. It's like a split personality. "Herman Cain does not harass women." "Herman Cain is a businessman."

Bob Dole approves of that quirk.

Ann, that's a ferret.

Herman Cain has taken lessons from Robert Dole....

Well, it could be a neat trick for denialbility. I'm sure in 7 billion people around there world there is at least one Herman Cain who does not in fact harrass women. It just doesn't happen to be this one.

I just wish people would stop saying Cain can't possibly be the nominee. It gives me the same shudder as when someone says, "Nothing else can go wrong."

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Good god. I got one thing to do before I can check out, and I'm getting pushback. How will the developers extract the needed data from the spreadsheets? I dunno. I think they'll develop. Can we just give them the fucking spreadsheets already? With instructions?

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"

I had a lousy night of not-quite-sleep, so I'm going in late. Hadn't heard all that much about Paterno and the rest of it, but it went onto my "avoid sports news at all costs" filter until now.

Too right about the Cain reaction -- every time someone tries to make a point about the "anonymous women accusing him" I want to ask what part of "non-disclosure agreement" do they not understand? Given the nastiness that Sharon Bialek is already receiving, I believe I would count myself lucky to be out of it if I were one of those women.

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here

People I know really like him. People who will be harmed by the 9 9 9 thing, as far as I can tell. They say he seems like he doesn't take any shit.
