Now that Herman Cain is leading in the Republican primary race, he is getting a lot more attention. © Kevin Siers And the attention is not just focused on Cain himself. Politico recently held a blind taste test of pizza from five chains, and Godfather’s Pizza (where Cain was formerly the CEO) was unanimously rated […]

Here’s two examples: Theirs is a magical world in which the gulf oil spill and the Japanese nuclear disaster never happened and there was never a problem with smog, polluted rivers or contaminated hamburger.
