Jabbering nincompoop Herman Cain is the new star of the GOP 2012 Campaign, this week --that'show much Republicans don't like their front-runner, Mitt Romney. Herman Cain's policy positions are as ridiculous as they are insane: Something about the Number Nine, Number Nine, and then something about Obama showing up at GOP debates to ask Herman Cain how to hire minimum-wage pizza delivery people, and then the special privatized Social Security scheme supposedly from Chile. Herman Cain's platform is like searching Google for the word "the" and picking three random results from the ninth page and then adding "Chilean Model," for pageviewz. BUT, it seems his favorite country has actuallyexplodedwith the most intense riots of the moment. Hot commie gals! Riot dogs! Blood and fire! It's fantastic. Herman Cain probably wants some Chilean-style General Strike riots todemolish Wall Streetand then go after the regional fast-food chains, right? Because Chile is the new example for Republican Politics ....
Here (via Cryptogon) is a big bunch of Big Picture photographs offuryin the streets, and here's what's going on in Chile:
SANTIAGO — Chile's student federation agreed to talks with the government of President Sebastian Pinera on education reforms after nearly five months of demonstrations.
But student leaders on Tuesday said they would be calling for no classes to be held while the talks are ongoing, to maintain pressure on the government.
"We are participating to continue out constant struggle for free, democratized education in Chile," said Giorgio Jackson, a leader of the CONFECH student confederation.
Guess what the government of Chile is doing after these wild protests and total work stops? The government is meeting with the youth protesters and has conceded defeat. It's offering stuff to the protesters, whatever they want, basically -- just stop the insane riots! Somebody please print this out and tuck a few copies here and there at the Zuccotti Park protest library, for freedom!
Working at Chili's is not the same is being from Chile.
Now I miss Dubya's presidency. With any luck, Dubya's dumb brother Rick Perry will win and we can enjoy seeing the world through Brazilian eyes again.
