Nana Gabbalot was always full of advice (and cheap white wine). One of her recurring themes was “never settle.” In my case, she meant not marrying below my station (and a busy station it was Pumpkins, with trains running in and out ‘til all hours!)
But those words would also have been good advice for U.S. Republican Presidential wannabe Herman Cain - back in the days when he ran the National Restaurant Association after amassing a pile of pepperoni in the pizza business. Two former female staff members were paid off to drop sexual harassment charges against Cain, but the story has come out of the mists of herstory to bite him -- right on the bum.
Cain denies everything, and says a thorough investigation found the claims had no basis. And yet dahrlings, both accusers received 5 figure settlements. That’s a lot of stuffed crust!
Now we have no idea whether Mr. Cain’s hands-off approach to government extends to his professional conduct, but I know from frequent, painful experience that anything you have ever done, even if you have forgotten how awful or stupid it was... will be remembered by someone at an awkward moment.
It’s awkward moment time for the prospective pizza POTUS, and there’s no free delivery out of this one.
Speaking of sex scandals, Pumpkins, the Canadian travel industry seems remarkably devoid of them, despite my best efforts. It seems we wisely keep our wandering hands in offshore accounts or have trained ourselves to never look back.
