I can’t wait for the day when the telephone is obsolete. Not just obsolete, rather, but extinct. Dead, dead, dead. As a door nail. I fear it may never happen, though, because such a day should be upon us. But still that little bastard rings. And rings. We have so many better modes of […]

About Herman Cain
I like Herman Cain. I am rooting for him. I haven’t decided who I’ll vote for in the Republican primary, but Herman Cain is on my list.
