The Warped Woodturner (TWW) is a local artist traveling his artist's journey in a suburb of Springbrook, WI (pop. 536). TWW's creative calling is to use a wood lathe to make useless objects from locally-sequestered organic carbon for tourists to bring back to the city to give to people they had to buy something for but do not like that much. His target market is the senior citizens since their vision is not as good as it used to be so cannot see the defects as well. His marketing jingle is: “Bowls as simple as their creator”.

Horny Herman and the 1st black president compared

In 1998, Nobel Prize-winning author Toni Morrison in The New Yorker called Clinton "the first Black president", saying, "Clinton displays almost every trope of blackness: single-parent household, born poor, working-class, saxophone-playing, McDonald's-and-junk-food-loving boy from Arkansas".[138] Noting that Clinton's sex life was scrutinized more than his career accomplishments, Morrison compared this to the stereotyping and double standards that blacks typically endure.  -- Wikipedia entry on Bill Clinton


So what is the difference between the first black president and the next one?  Clinton actually felt (and more) the women he made uncomfortable.  Did Horny Herman mostly just talk to make the victims uncomfortable?  And better yet did he make women uncomfortable with gestures having nothing to do with sex but it was still sexual harassment?


Politico says: The sources — which include the recollections of close associates and other documentation — describe episodes that left the women upset and offended. These incidents include conversations allegedly filled with innuendo or personal questions of a sexually suggestive nature, taking place at hotels during conferences, at other officially sanctioned restaurant association events and at the association’s offices. There were also descriptions of physical gestures that were not overtly sexual but that made women who experienced or witnessed them uncomfortable and that they regarded as improper in a professional relationship.

The voters have a right to know so it is time to go buy a National Enquirer to learn the truth. 


Important update:  "There were also descriptions of physical gestures that were not overtly sexual but that made women who experienced or witnessed them uncomfortable".  ---- The only thing this could mean was Horny Herman was mooning the women.

What goes in must come out (or become fat) so it is only appropriate to have a beer company poster in a bathroom for life enrichment.

New life enrichment activity

In critical race theorywhite privilege is a way of conceptualizing racial inequalities that focuses as much on the advantages that white people accrue from society as on the disadvantages that people of color experience...... White privilege differs from conditions of overt racism or prejudice, in which a dominant group actively seeks to oppress or suppress other racial groups for its own advantage. Instead, theories of white privilege suggest that whites view their social, cultural, and economic experiences as a norm that everyone should experience, rather than as an advantaged position that must be maintained at the expense of others. This normative assumption implicitly constrains discussions of racial inequality within the dominant discourse: such explanations are limited to factors specific to disadvantaged racial groups - who are viewed as having failed to achieve the norm - and solutions focus on what can be done to help those groups achieve the 'normal' standards experienced by whites.
 From Wikipedia


Does this theory explain why liberals do not like Cain but used to adore Obama?

Crisis of the day

Someone stole the President's teleprompter - see http://www.nbc12.com/story/15716468/thieves-steal-truck-with-presidents-equipment

Question of the day

"SARAH VAN GELDER: Well, I think it will have tremendous impact. I mean, it would be extraordinary if people representing the 99 percent could actually come up with a succinct set of policy agendas within weeks of having this movement erupt."  - quote from PBS News Hour last night 


So if the Wall Street protesters (more correctly called the Me Party) represent 99% of the people and there is the 1% we all envy and hate since we are not part of it, where does the Tea Party fit in?  TWW bets few if any of the Tea Party crowd are in the 1%.

Question: How can you get more than 100% of the people in America being in these groups.  Perhaps there is an answer: you count the people here illegally in the mix.  This makes as much as anything else people in the media are saying about the 99% crowd.

Since Canda bans so many guns it only make sense that men would have a problem with aiming. One restaurant is forcing men to sit down in the restroom to solve the problem.

TWW has withdrawn his endorsement of Hillary for '12

Below is part of the Wikipedia bio of Herman Cain. This is something to remember when people say he is not qualified to be president compared to the current president who also was said to be unqualified until Sarah Palin came along. 

"After completing his master's degree from Purdue, Cain left the Department of the Navy and began working for The Coca-Cola Company in Atlanta as a computer systems analyst. In 1977, he moved to Minneapolis to join Pillsbury, soon becoming director of analysis in its restaurant and foods group in 1978.[citation needed]

At age 36, Cain was assigned in the 1980s first to analyze and ultimately to take the reins of Burger King, which at the time was a Pillsbury subsidiary, where he managed 400 stores in the Philadelphia area. Under Cain's leadership, his region went in three years from the least profitable for Burger King to the most profitable. According to a 1987 account in the Minneapolis Star Tribune, Pillsbury's then-president Win Wallin said: "He was an excellent bet. Herman always seemed to have his act together."[13] At Burger King, Cain “established the BEAMER program, which taught our employees, mostly teenagers, how to make our patrons smile” by smiling themselves. It was a success: “Within three months of the program’s initiation, the sales trend was moving steadily higher.”[14]

His successes at Burger King prompted Pillsbury to appoint him President and CEO of another subsidiary, Godfather's Pizza. Cain arrived on April 1, 1986, and told employees that, "I'm Herman Cain and this ain't no April Fool's joke. We are not dead. Our objective is to prove to Pillsbury and everyone else that we will survive."[15] Aiming to cut costs, Cain, over a 14-month period, reduced the company from 911 stores to 420. As a result of his efforts, Godfather's Pizza became profitable[citation needed]. In a leveraged buyout in 1988, Cain, Executive Vice-President and COO Ronald B. Gartlan and a group of investors, bought Godfather's from Pillsbury. Cain continued as CEO until 1996, when he resigned.[citation needed]

Later in 1996 he became CEO of the National Restaurant Association, a trade group and lobby organization for the restaurant industry, where he had previously been chairman concurrently with his role at Godfather's Pizza.[16].

Cain became a member of the board of directors of the Federal Reserve Bank of Kansas City in 1992 and served as its chairman from January 1995 to August 1996, when he resigned to become active in national politics.[17]

Cain was a 1996 recipient of the Horatio Alger Award.[18]

Cain was on the board of directors of Aquila, Inc. from 1992 to 2008, and also served as a board member for Nabisco, Whirlpool, Reader's Digest, and AGCO, Inc.[19][20][21]"





Also, "I mean, you got the first mainstream African-American who is articulate and bright and clean and a nice-looking guy," Biden said. "I mean, that's a storybook, man." That was Joe Biden talking about Obama.  If you say second instead of first the quote works on Cain.

IF Obama had delivered

on his promise to give everyone a Cadillac Cain would not have a point. 

"Republican presidential contender Herman Cain amplified his criticism Sunday of the growing Occupy Wall Streetmovement, calling the protesters “jealous’ Americans who "play the victim card” and want to “take somebody else’s” Cadillac."

quotes of the day

A Me Party protester at the Hennepin County Government Center said:  "There isn't a focus, and that's the point. It's not about what we are standing for; it's about us coming together to stand for something," he said. "What matters is that we want change to occur."
