Oh Herman Cain, You Odd, Odd Man

For those of you that don't follow U.S politics or for those of you who don't give a damn, then you might not know who Herman Cain is.

Who is Herman Cain? Well...I'm not going to write out the man's biography, but I'll try to be as concise as possible and say that he is a business man and former CEO of Godfather's Pizza running for President on the Republican Party side.

What makes Herman Sherman so interesting is the ideas that bubble up in that head of his.

Take this for example,

He whipped up a plan that would reform the tax code. This plan of his is called the "999 plan", which plans to replace the current tax code with 9% tax for Corporate, National and Sales Tax.

Now, for anyone who has played Sim City, doesn't this sound all too familiar?


That's right, 9% tax code is the default settings on Sim City and Herman Cain is feeling it. When media outlets asked Cain, if indeed he sought a video game for inspiration, he said that he didn't, but it sure sounds fishy though.

Okay, so he might have or might have not gotten his tax code plan from a video game, so what's so bad about this guy?

Well, he likes loves pizza!. 

Don't get me wrong, I love pizza as much as the next guy, but Herman Cain admitted to eating pizza at least six times a week! How is this man still alive?

Him liking pizza doesn't make him a bad guy, but do yourself a favor and check out this video:


The man is singing about pizza and worst of all, to the sounds of John Lennon's Imagine.

Now, a new Rasmussen poll has Mr. Pizza-Loving Herman Cain with a 43% advantage over Barrack Obama's 41% in a general election matchup.

I know we can't look into these things considering that polls will change within a year from now when the real election gets underway and we still don't know if Herman Cain will represent the Republican party.
Let's just say that that poll holds up all the way until election day and Herman Cain is named the new President of the United States; do we really need a man singing about fast food to a nation that has 33% of obese adults and 17% of obese children?

I don't think so.
