Herman Cain appeared on Neil Cavuto’s show this afternoon, and answered a whole slew of questions related to those latest accusations of impropriety…questions regarding what affect all this was having on his family as well as his campaign.  Cavuto even went as far as playing an Alan West interview from this morning, one where he advises Cain to get out of the race.  Cain was impressively gracious in his response to West’s comments considering their disagreement.
I think Cain came off as secure and unflappable.  If he’s lying, he’s really good at it.  Oh, and he’s darned likable to boot!   What say You?

The producers of this beer commercial borrowed a small 150 seat cinema playing a popular film, and filled 148 of its seats with rough-looking, tattooed bikers, leaving only two free seats in the middle of the theater. They then allowed theater management to sell tickets for the last pair of seats to several young couples.
What would you do?
Watch ’til the end…

“When an Occupy hippie cries, a rich man gives a poor man a job and capitalism lives on another day.” — TheRightScoop
What happens when two Occupy Toronto protestors find their makeshift library torn down?  Warm and fuzzy comedy gold.  These poor hippies can’t understand why the rest of us won’t give anarchy a chance and just peacefully march towards a socialist utopia. Hey fellas….sucks when you work really hard on something then someone else comes and takes it all away, doesn’t it?   Welcome to the 53%!

Who knew something called a “dingle dangle” was keeping an 80 yr. old William Shatner so young?   Just in time for the holidays, State Farm and Shatner have made this PSA on turkey fryer safety.   I’m pretty sure the original intent was to steer folks away from a cooking process fraught with danger, however, the way Shatner plays it does anything but. The moral of the story…”Fire, metal, oil and turkey are glorious when in harmony, but their power is unrelenting in careless hands.”  Thanks to Hot Air and Patriot Dreamer.   Please feel free to share any mishaps you or friends may have run into….we can always enjoy hearing about benefit from the mistakes of others. 

You may not be a native Texan, but after watching this beautiful photo-essay by west Texas’ official state photographer Wyman Meinzer, you’ll wish you were.  I suggest you turn up the volume, click on the “full screen” icon on the lower right, and keep a box of Kleenex handy.  If ya’ll aren’t dancin’ in your seats…..well, ya’ll haven’t got a pulse!
This is dedicated to all my Texas buddies….you know who you are. 

Sunday evening means one thing at Casa de Rem….runs, then endless reruns of “Holmes on Homes”.  In this episode, Mike makes more things weep than the tile.  He points out that the wife is not a “licensed sandwich artist”, and things go downhill from there.

Seeing as tonight we’ve got another big debate, I thought some of you might like to see what old Mitt’s been up too…now that the pressure is really on.  Well, outside of being sure everyone gets a bit of “old fly” with their pizza, he also seems intent on “stuffing the ice chest”.  Thanks to BadLipReading for the intrepid reportage….and whoever did Mitt’s laugh deserves a raise.

Heh….just how much would this bite if you kept it in your garage? 
(DetroitFreePress)…Following a fire in a Chevrolet Volt several weeks after a crash test, government officials are weighing the need for new safety rules that could require first responders to drain electric vehicles’ batteries after a crash.
The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration said today it had investigated a fire that occurred this spring, after the Volt extended-range electric vehicle underwent a 20 mile-per-hour, side-impact test for its five-star crash safety rating. The crash punctured the Volt’s lithium-ion battery, and after more than three weeks of sitting outside, the vehicle and several cars around it caught fire. No one was hurt.  (more…)

Hey….does this thug in the black leather jacket look like a “youth” to you?  That’s what this Chicago Tribune article insists on calling him and his fellow goons.   This assault occurred last April, but it only recently surfaced on the internet.  Guess it’s just another day in Chicagoland.   Hey Obama….WASSUP?  (Story below the video.)

I’ve got a confession to make.  I’m finding it harder and harder to maintain my concentrated dislike for Newt Gingrich.  For a while now, I’ve kept a list of Newt’s transgressions close to my heart.  Tops on my list was that infamous picture of Newt not only playing cutesy with Nancy on the sofa,  but flirting with the likes of anthropogenic climate change.  This picture would become seared in my memory.
Farther down the list, we run into Newt’s backing of Obamacare’s Individual Mandate in requiring citizens to buy health insurance.  Conservatives referred to his comments…“Sandbagging your fellow Republicans in Congress and offering tacit support for a key (unconstitutional) component of Obamacare is a very strange way to begin a run in a Republican primary. Not a strong start.”  Early in 2011 Newt continued to anger me when he criticized the Ryan Plan for its arbitrary cut-off of those under the age of 55.  (more…)
