The last few nights I’ve watched news stories about Herman Cain and the National Restaurant Association (NRA).

So even a total political non-participant like me (read: I do not vote and think politics as a whole is a crooked, crazy mess) cant help but pay a tiny bit of attention to this Herman Cain thing because of the association tie-in.
