Why Herman Cain Should Hire Jagger to Run His Campaign

“Oh, time is on my side, yes it is
Time is on my side, yes it is.”
The Rolling Stones

Time. It can be such an enemy or a true friend. It can pass quickly, or seem to drag on longer than one would wish. Apparently, for the Rolling Stones in 1964, time was an ally. Today, for presidential hopeful Herman Cain, time is the former CEO’s boss. As sexual harassment claims from at least 2 women become public, will time be good to the Cain campaign? By spending the last few days saying that he had no knowledge of a settlement, then explaining the alleged sexual harassment, then accusing Perry’s campaign of leaking the settlement, Cain needs to spend the next few days wisely using his time. Quiet time. His supporters are even more behind him than ever, while those who never planned on voting for Cain are hoping he will drop out of the race. Or perhaps, this story will not amount to much as Cain continues on the trail towards the presidency. Only time will tell. As Mick Jagger once sang,

“You're searching for good times
But just wait and see”

Cain will have to take Jagger’s advice. Wait and see.



Another reason I am better than Kim Kardashian

6 years ago, my husband and I danced to “At Last” by Etta James at our wedding reception. We said our “I dos” in a church in front of close family and friends. My hard-working groom spent the entire summer prior to our engagement saving for my engagement ring. We have not made approximately $250,000 each day we have been married, but real commitment does not have a price tag. E! TV was not taping our wedding ceremony as though we were the royal family. Our wedding cost as much as Kim Kardashian’s cake. We did not have a TV special or an 18 million dollar pay-out. I guess Ryan Seacrest’s invite was lost in the mail. Oh, well. At least we have been married for more than 72 days. A Kardashian wedding; millions. Seacrest's gift; thousands. An actual marriage that lasts due to vows taken seriously in front of family and friends; priceless. If the cost of a wedding is any indication of how long a couple is going to be married, my husband is stuck with me for a long, long time.
