Forever...*
"Sharon Bialek accusing Republican presidential hopeful Herman Cain of sexual harassment in November 7, 2011. |
Herman Cain, a former Pizza chain executive, is another "Pizza man", a rising star in the Republican hopefuls for the presidency of the United States of America. He introduced the 999 tax plan which was very attractive for a while.
Soon enough few women came out of nowhere accusing him of unwanted sexual harassment. We all want to know what did he do to the accusers, a juicy story.

Then Ginger White came out to indicate that she had a relationship with him, on and off, for over 10 years. [This wasn't a one night thing repeated monthly.] So here ya go. He is no longer running.
What is it with men who always need recognition by another woman?
What gets us uncomfortable with any mention of a such a story or a relationship? and what makes the man an awful person and the woman a temporary hero?

The hopes of the presidency evaporated, and the hopes of thousands who looked up to him did the same. Yet the good time, and memories will last forever!
Just a thought.

Rain..*
Regina Ilyinichna Spektor is a Russian-born American singer-songwriter and pianist. Her music is associated with the anti-folk scene centered on New York City's East Village.
In New York City, Spektor studied classical piano at the Manhattan School of Music until she was 17. Although the family had been unable to bring their piano from Russia, Spektor found a piano on which to play in the basement of her synagogue, and also practiced on tabletops and other hard surfaces.
Here is her song. I love Paris in the rain.

Division...*
The division between Iraq's Sunni and Shia is the oldest in the Middle East. It is one which seems increasingly shaping the destiny of this region. Thousands of devotees from both sides pour into Syria. Jihadist [al-Qa'ida] volunteers on the Sunni side and Hezbollah militants on the Shia, are joining what is fast becoming a transnational civil war between the two factions. Now into Iraq.
The majority[ Shia] became in charge of Iraq after the invasion on 2003 and the fall of Sad-am. Now all of a sudden, the Sunni got support and ready to fight while the Shia just walked away. The Sunni control many towns moving to Bagdad [power] and the oil fields [source of funds].
So the fight will continue. At the end, the Kurds will be standing over the collapse of others. Then the Turks would fight them.
Netanyahu, who deals with both on a daily basis, said both the radical Shi’ites, led by Iran, and the radical Sunnis, led by al-Qaida and ISIS, are both enemies of the US. “When your enemies are fighting each other, don’t strengthen either one of them. Both sides would want US to inter the conflict, then turn against US.
Both Soma Wrestlers look the same without the outfit, seeing the world upside down, and that's the naked truth. Let us not get sucked-in the Game. Just a thought.
Action...?
Austrian police arrested eight suspected terrorists in a series of early-morning raids in the country's two largest cities that mobilized heavily armed SWAT teams and hundreds of officers supporting them. Those detained were suspected of involvement with extremist group.
Police also struck simultaneously in Vienna, in twin operations that the statement said utilized 800 police.
The raids come less than a week after police in Vienna detained a 17-year-old they describe as belonging to "radical Salafist" circles who they said has confessed to experimenting with building a bomb.
They appeared connected to investigations of followers of a Serbian-born Islamic cleric sentenced last year in Graz to 20 years in prison for recruiting dozens of young men to fight for the Islamic State group. The 35-year old preacher was found guilty of inciting others to murder and of coercion.
Interior Ministry figures show that approximately 300 people have left or tried to leave Austria to fight for radical groups in the Middle East since 2012. Of these, 90 have returned while 50 are listed as having been killed in fighting.

Dr. Oz testified in a Senate subcommittee hearing and acknowledged that his backing of so-called "miracle" weight loss products have "provided fodder for unscrupulous advertisers," Consumerist reported. OZ had a history of being a bit overly enthusiastic about some of the alternative and nontraditional treatments he’s highlighted, resulting in countless scammers cashing in on the questionable weight-loss treatments he’s described as “miracles,” like the green coffee extract that is the subject of an ongoing federal action.
Senator Clair McCaskill, Chair, grilled the talk show host in her opening remarks. "I'm concerned that you are melding medical advice, news and entertainment in a way that harms consumers."
Oz admitted that his "cheerleading" of products that are often used as "crutches" has caused trouble for himself and the Federal Trade Commission, but he said he stands by his research.
"I do think I've made it more difficult for the FTC," Oz said. "In the intent to engage viewers, I use flowery language. I used language that was very passionate that ended up being not very helpful but incendiary and it provided fodder for unscrupulous advertisers."
[I am not sure who are unscrupulous.] Just a thought.

Kintner, of Papillion, retweeted a comment mocked three women pictured with signs protesting Donald Trump's comments about touching women inappropriately. Above the photo, Elder wrote: "Ladies, I think you're safe."
Kintner's office later released a statement saying: " I was not implying support for putting women in fear of their personal safety. I took down the retweet as soon as I became aware that it was being misconstrued."
Nebraska Democratic Party chairwoman celebrated Kintner's announcement.
"The Women's March just took down their first politician.
Some were bemused by his 2013 comment to a newspaper, which asked him what he considered the biggest mystery. Kintner responded, "Women. No one understands them. They don't even understand themselves."
He paid a $1,000 fine last year for misuse of state property, after he admitted to engaging in mutual masturbation in July 2015 with a woman using Skype, an online video-chatting service. Kintner reported the transgression to the Nebraska State Patrol after the woman threatened to expose the encounter unless he paid her $4,500.
What happened to the Blackmail incidence?
