When someone runs for President of the United States, they should at least have the smarts to realize every rock will be overturned to find out just what kind of person you are. Be ready to fact your past, and anything which may prove an embarrassment, have a plan on how to deal with it.
Herman Cain has proven incompetent in dealing with accusations of sexual improprieties. Mr. Cain thought when the National Restaurant Association apparently paid a hefty sum of money to cover up improper conduct, he was free and clear.
Totally unprepared he proceeds to be an embarrassment.
Seems to me one. having enough time to dwell on it should already have a plan. Repeatedly changing his story hardly displays an aura of confidence.
Now the guy is losing it. Hardly a show of proper temperament by someone who wants a job with constant pressure. Every action ripe for review and questioned.
Herman Cain's temper flares
Herman Cain, who has been under intense pressure for the past week to explain 12-year-old charges of sexual harassment, lost his cool with reporters Saturday night after a tamped-down policy discussion with Newt Gingrich.
Members of the media had been warned ahead of time not to ask Cain about the sex harassment story, , ,
Reporters, however, are not known for taking orders from campaigns trying to avoid unpleasant topics.
To me it seems rather arrogant to try to lay ground rules like that.
“Mr. Cain, the attorney for one of the women who filed a sexual harassment complaint …”
He didn’t even get the full question out before Cain snapped: “Don’t even go there!”

I am unclear as to when there became a state called Palestine. If they are not a state how could they become a member of UNESCO?
General Conference admits Palestine as UNESCO Member State
Palestine’s entry will bring the number of UNESCO’s Member States to 195.
The vote was carried by 107 votes in favour of admission and 14 votes against, with 52 abstentions.
Admission to UNESCO for states that are not members of the United Nations requires a recommendation by the Organization’s Executive Board and a two thirds majority vote in favour by the General Conference of Member States present and voting (abstentions are not considered as votes).

That answers my question.
This isn't going anywhere, but to me is interesting to whatch.
A military war of nerves against Iran: The US leads, Israel and UK go along
The sudden rush of military news Wednesday, Nov. 2, was part of an orchestrated Western performance to persuade Tehran that the US, Britain and Israel are on the verge of a military operation against its nuclear installations. The show, directed from Washington, was meant to warn Iran that military punishment was in store unless it gives up its drive for a nuclear weapon. If Tehran continues to hold out, President Barack Obama may decide to strike Revolutionary Guards Corps, the bulwark of the Islamic regime, as well as its strategic infrastructure, thereby removing key props holding up the regime of the ayatollahs.
Contributing to the menacing climate hanging over Iran were four headline events involving Israel – all on the same Wednesday: Israel conducted a successful test launch of a new intercontinental ballistic missile, Jericho 3, which foreign sources report is capable of carrying a nuclear warhead 7,000 kilometers.
Really good reading.
