Yeah, I was actually starting to get that impression. But seriously he’s not a very likable guy and I think he’s smart enough to know he has no chance of becoming the next President. It’s just one more chance to be in front of the camera.

(actually, I hesitate to say this, because I don’t know who “him” is – I believe he is living layer upon layer of acts and reality-TVish poses, and I have no idea if, deep down, I would actually kind of like the guy in a half-laughing-at-him sort of way). But disliking someone because of how he acts and failing to be impressed with his being rich are not logically connected. What can I say? There are too many irritating, stupid rich people in the world (and I personally know some of them) for me to consider riches – even vast riches – to mechanically afford their owners impressiveness or admiration or the assumption that they are “intelligent” in the way that I use the term.

Is it “rich people” or is it people who are rich because they are famous? I grew up in a much different world. One actually had to have talent before they were famous which then caused them to become at least somewhat wealthy.

* Actually, I am kind of impressed with Herman Cain. He once began a sentence with “a poet once said,” and then went on to quote a line from a song that was recorded for Pokemon: The Movie. That I still laugh out loud about this every time I think of it is proof that he has left at least some kind of impression on me.

Yeah, Cain left an impression on me too I can’t say it was a good one. I wonder how far his candidacy would have gone if several women didn’t come out of nowhere with the sex allegations.
