The #Occupy protesters are the new Vandals
**Posted by Phineas The Vandals were a Germanic tribe that so terrorized the dying West Roman Empire, particularly during the sack of Rome in 455, that later authors used their name to coin a word describing the wanton destruction of anything beautiful or civilized — “vandalism.” The Occupy movement would seem to be the latest heirs to the “Vandal tradition:” despising the civilization that’s given them so much, making incoherent demands, and engaging in barbaric and even criminal behavior. My blog-buddy ST has done a great job chronicling much of it . Well, here’s another example for you: Nearby, small merchants complained that…

Have a Cup of Joe
Morning Joe , that is. Tomorrow morning on MSNBC, around 7 a.m. Eastern, I’ll talk politics with Joe Scarborough and Mika Brzezinski. We’ll probably discuss a certain smoker and his boss.
Perry ‘Not Worried’ About Beating Obama in Debates
In an interview with Chris Wallace this morning, Rick Perry addressed the concerns that his poor debating meant President Obama could beat him in a debate during the general election. Saying he was “not worried a bit,” about the prospect, Perry said, “I’ll be able to stand on the stage with Barack Obama and draw a very bright line, a real contrast between an individual who has lost two and a half million jobs for this country, someone who is signalling to our opponents when we’re going to pull out of a particular
Cain Video ‘Stuns’ Brokaw
Tom Brokaw is no fan of Mark Block . On Meet the Press , the former news anchor blasted Block, Herman Cain’s chief of staff, for smoking in a campaign video. “On the Cain thing, I was stunned by that ad that he did with his campaign manager, ending up smoking a cigarette,” Brokaw said. “In my judgment, that is one of the great health hazards in America in terms of lethal diseases.” Keep reading this post . . .
Sour Schieffer Scolds Cain for Ad: ‘It’s Not Funny to Me…I Don’t Think It Serves the Country Well’

CBS’s Bob Schieffer unintentionally played the foil to Herman Cain on Sunday’s Face the Nation as Schieffer expressed his politically-correct displeasure with Cain’s “downright bizarre” Web video which briefly shows Cain’s chief of staff smoking, was flummoxed by Cain’s sense of humor (“You also said at one point that you might want to back that fence up with a moat and fill it with alligators. Was that a joke too?”) and was baffled by Cain’s accurate claim Planned Parenthood was spurred by the eugenics movement’s desire to reduce the black population. On the ad, Schieffer decried how “it sends a signal that it’s…

The World Series Champions will hold their celebratory parade this afternoon. I’ll post updates from Busch Stadium later today. St. Louis Cardinals first baseman Albert Pujols (C) celebrates in the locker room after the Cardinals defeated the Texas Rangers to win MLB’s World Series baseball championship in St. Louis. ( Reuters ) UPDATE: Awesome! The Budweiser Clydesdales led off the parade. And get this… The St. Louis “Rally Squirrel” was on the field again today. It ran right up to our row 8 and under our seats! That squirrel is quick! My friend Kenny saw me on TV during the big rally today. The St. Louis Cardinals ended their championship year with cheers and fireworks.

Bob Schieffer’s Smokin’ Interview with Herman Cain
**Written by Doug Powers This morning, Bob Schieffer interviewed Herman Cain on Face the Nation. The most pointed portions of the interview didn’t have anything to do with Cain’s 999 plan, the debt, unemployment or terrorism, but rather a Cain ad that features his chief of staff smoking a cigarette. Business Insider : Cain initially defended the ad, saying his campaign wants “Herman to be Herman.” “Mark Block is a smoker, and we say, let Mark be Mark,” he said. Cain said the campaign thought some would find the video to be funny, which prompted Schieffer to make an “editorial opinion” an chastise Cain for belittling the issue. “Let me just tell you, it’s not funny to …
Was This News Story Scrubbed? Vote On It!
(John Hinderaker) The Minneapolis Star Tribune reports that yesterday, a small group of “Occupy Minnesota” demonstrators were augmented by representatives of local unions: Union leaders headlined a day of OccupyMN street theater Saturday, capped when about 300 protesters marched peacefully across downtown Minneapolis, denouncing the region’s three biggest banks. “Banks got bailed out — we got sold out!” was one of several chants delivered during the march. So, what unions were represented? “We’ll be in the streets until the one percent give up some of their wealth to the 99 percent,” said Elliot Seide, who heads the union representing 40,000 state, county and municipal workers. … “We need to stand up and yell and be the 99 percent,” said Michelle Sommers, president of the union that represents Metro Transit bus…
Chris Wallace calls out Mitt Romney.
I’m going to go out on a limb here and suggest that maybe Mitt Romney should take seriously this shot across the bow by Fox News host Chris Wallace : [Mitt Romney] has not appeared on this program or any Sunday talk show since March of 2010. We invited Gov. Romney again this week, but his campaign says he’s still not ready to sit down for an interview. After all, for just how long has Mitt Romney been running for President by now? 2009? If he’s not ready now to be play you’re-on-the-griddle with Chris Wallace then when the heck will Romney be ready? When Romney’s trying for the nomination again in 2016? I imagine that the temptation …

Herman Cain may have made a bomb of money off his recent ad featuring his chain-smoking chief of staff. However, he’s got a message to kids: don’t be cool like Mark Block! Meanwhile, he’s once again been demonstrating his thorough and scholarly knowledge of the Middle East; this time referring to the “so-called Palestinian people.”
George Will’s Romney Pretzel
Another take on Romney: The axiom is as old as human striving: The perfect is the enemy of the good. In politics this means that insisting on perfection in a candidate interferes with selecting a satisfactory one. . . . Keep reading this post . . .
