    The smoking part is covered, but what about the zombie film grain? And then the weird pop song that comes out of nowhere?

    I'll wager than anyone eating, say, five pieces of pizza per day is a greater health risk than anyone smoking a pack of cigarettes a day.

    Why? Does every slice of pizza take six minutes off your life? :D

    A pound a slice.

    The smoking man has a checkered past. The hell you say.

    Perhaps no one is more responsible for the Georgia businessman's meteoric rise in the presidential polls than Block, a Republican strategist and tea party leader who's left a trail of questionable campaign work behind him.

    Block has been accused of voter suppression and was banned from running Wisconsin political campaigns for three years to settle accusations he coordinated a judge's re-election campaign with a special interest group.
    Records show Block has faced foreclosure on his home, a tax warrant by the Internal Revenue Service and a lawsuit for an unpaid bill. He also acknowledges he was arrested twice for drunken driving.
    On the presidential trail, some former Cain staffers say Block broke promises. Traditional GOP strategists have been scratching their heads at his renegade tactics to win the White House, all but ignoring some early states in favor of a book tour and swings through states without early primaries.


    Also, what the fuck is this? ("He Carried Yellow Flowers")

    I'm sorry - but Block sounds like a typical political operative. He's in it to make a buck.
    And I don't see anything "renegade" about Cain's campaign. Giuliani did the same thing - banked it all on Florida. It didn't work, but hell some people still figured him as the favorite until he crapped out in Florida.

    I get the feeling the last damn thing Herman Cain wants is actually to become president. He wants to sell his book, and he wants to parlay ex-presidential candidate into a lucrative speaking career. I would think Cain himself has to be shocked how successful this run has been so far.

    The look in Block's eyes: "Fuck you, America."
    Never heard of this Nick Searcy fellow. Maybe he got the gig because Chuck Norris wasn't willing to work for scale.

    I think Bob is right.

    My parents are very Tea Party-ish. My mom was ready to vote for Cain until this ad. She thinks it's completely idiotic and embarrassing. Now she says she'll probably end up voting for Obama-- begrudgingly.

    She says Perry's an asshole and Romney's a member of a cult. I've already told her how offensive I think her stance on Romney is.

    I post this to tell you what might be going through the minds of 'Tea Party Nation.'

    I know Nick Searcy mainly as the boss on "Justified." Searcy also was in the Chris Rock movie Head of State....where his character opposed Rock's in a presidential election.

    I hope Huntsman sticks around - his daughters might be the best selling point his candidacy has.

    I can guarantee you, and will bet you anything, that no one in the GOP field will be caught using "the word" in public or private. You're about as paranoid as they come.
