Herman Caine nominated for Federal Reserve

[MixedDrops]

IIRC he wasn't accused of sexual misconduct, but rather having extramarital affairs. As far as I recall none of them were non-consensual relationships, but I could be remembering wrong.

Anyway as long as he makes sure to quote more movies during speeches we'll get some meme value out of it at least.

The sexual misconduct allegations worry me the most. But then again, that's a pretty broad description. Anything from rape to molestation to simply jerking off behind a public trash can and getting caught. Obviously the last one would be the most tame.

While bad, I think letting anyone that thinks we should be on the gold standard anywhere near the federal reserve is far, far worse.

I can sympathize, given that that has wider-ranging consequences, as do all those in power who can abuse it, but stuff like this just has more of an emotional resonance with me given that I really hate people who can't be sexually mature or worse, hurt others that way. This is the 21st century. People like that should be nearly extinct, but it's sad how much they really aren't.
