No. 9, No. 9, No. 9 …

This Atlantic.com article sums up pretty much everything I have learned today as for the reason I did not watch last night’s GOP presidential debate. (With the exception of NCIS, NCIS-Los Angeles and Sons Of Anarchy) Now, if we could only figure out why Michelle Bachmann, Rick Santorum, Jon Huntsman and, above all, Newt Gingrich are still in the race? Ego is the best I can figure. Probably after the next debate, the same question will be asked about Herman Cain.

It seems “The Godfather of Economics” is not nearly as popular as his “9-9-9 plan.” To sum it up, Cain’s Triple 9 plan equals either 27 or 729 or -9, or else it comes out to something else.

Perry could still be the long-shot — for Romney’s running mate. But I could be wrong although I hope I am. I can foresee a new slogan for our own Gov. Goodhair:

“Perry: Don’t go there.”
