Herman Cain. Something bothers me about guys like him not of his views. I admire his honesty like I do with Pat Buchanan. I just don't like those wives. Not to player hate them or be envious. But they seem to fit that profile of that nice, classy wife that a man can hide behind. For that matter, Michele Bachmann too and that hubby of hers. What bothers me about them is that when the heat is on, they seem to retreat to their spouses slash mom or dad. Richard Nixon comes to mind.
Gerald Ford, JFK, Madison, FDR, Lincoln, Clinton, and our President, Barack Obama. They have strong wives with personality. I always got the impression that these dudes had to earn their wives respect. No coddling from them. That includes you, Jerry Sloan. Yet, these loudmouths take the Pat Buchanan approach and back down the during the preliminaries. Once you made your statements, you can't go back to your spouse and hide. Or can you?
It just doesn't seem American to have a quiet, standby spouse. I guess that is why you make those statements and get away with it until the pressure you inflict on yourself gets you to back down. You can get away with it in other professions but no way in National politics. You are facing the intensity of media scrutiny (hide-behind spouse?) and you mouth off? Ronald Regan at least kept his mouth shut as well as George Bush and W too.
Those guys may have believed the same thing as Herman, Pat, and Michelle but they knew with the type of "wive" they are married to and couldn't do it. They always say for every strong man, there is a strong woman but in this case for every strong woman, you need a strong man and vice-versa.

Cheating in the Schools
Me, personally, I don't see nothing wrong with this scandal concerning the teachers who are involved. You got to pass them kids. Now, you can go spiritual and all that is true. I'm proof of that but what about help to the teachers and the administrators of their schools? There isn't none. Its one against 50 students per a classroom. That is assuming they have no learning disabilities or other behavioral issues. Still rough. But the reality of it, many of these kids slip through the cracks. Embarassing, yes. But I'm sure a radio station will hire these former teachers to rig the arbitron or armitron, bringing money to the station. Yippee!
I have never stolen a talk show format from another station or rigged money from a sales manager? Nah? Who cares about productivity when its all about winning. The Raiders motto, if you ain't cheatin, you ain't tryin." I really don't care for morality. You can blame children, parents, or the teachers. I don't blame any of them. Its not about serving your community and the community serving you. The attitude is survival and winning.
Actually, its about whether you are married with kids and a job. Taxes penalize a person for being single. I would say most kids grow up to be successful at that. Most marriages don't last past 10 years regardless of profession and income. Alcoholism and drug abuse crosses all lines with absolute destruction and force. You can be smart but a disease will always outsmart you. Another thing, cheating goes on in private schools as well. The parents and alumni put money in the schools for their children. In return, a nice legacy for future generations.
In short, every person for themselves. Kids are encouraged to educate for themselves or their family but are they encouraged to educate for the community when they are told how brutal "the world" is? As for the folks involved, I may not like it but I understand so should the community including our media because they are all in it for themselves. Sweeps, anyone?

Statue of Liberty Devils
That was my thought at this speed dating game. Didn't involve any of the participants. Just the mood and vibe that I interpreted: Women who are trouble but loyal. Those are types you want to send when its time to stop Mr. Muburak. They got a plan to put you in your place. You know what, I love it. Pure American honesty at its finest in this dating scene. Certainly snapped me out a shell better than a rod or the hand. American women or the Statue of Liberty Devils?
Yeah, they may go into your finances, character, and your psyche. What is it that parents, coaches, teachers, and minister warned you about is that girl is "trouble" or too strong for you. Can they drink under you? sure. Possibly be a home-wrecker? Oh, yeah! Finally, lead men to the institution of many. You, better you bet. But when it comes to "war in terror", who do you want as lead Marc Wilson or Jim McMahon? I thought of that when a pious, American woman mentioned about events in Egypt when she looked at me. Another, who talked about the two young children killed in Gwinnett in a break-in (Check you in-laws before the outlaws)? Omg, Omg. I don't trust them when push comes to shove. Too, neurotic. I may end up getting shot.
In this dating scene, you don't have to worry about if I had children, she had children or about their race or culture. Even then, harshest ones. But then, they aren't married. LOL. Finding the right one? Throw me those Liberty Devils. They are honest when things get uptight. But eventually, some do find the right and change and forget about their "devil days." Remember, though, its Red, White, and Blue not Blue, White, and Red. Happy Valentines to you!
