Well, He should be! Did not Jesus teach us, “Whosoever should take your cloak, make the bastard eat lead”?
Ah, Glck 22:40.
“Adam begat Cain, who shot Abel in the fucking face.”
I’m pretty sure the NRA-esque argument would be that if Abel had had a gun, he could have protected himself from Cain. Clearly, the moral of the story is that Eden needed proper concealed carry laws.
I wonder if that was the intention of Cruz, he is indeed afraid that many republicans too will like it after trying it. And afraid of people finally finding that a lot of what Cruz and others told them were mostly lies.
God is 'Murrican, duh. 
And then you’ll die of botulism, as anyone would after eating green eggs and ham, and the Obamacare Death Panels will just write you off. 
It might be a subject for GQ, but I’m not really sure the botulinum bacillus would be a likely factor in anything you would get from eggs and ham of any color. Those don’t tend to be anaerobic environments for bacterial growth, do they?
It was a canned ham.
Which brings us back to Ted Cruz. The “ham” part, that is; the “canned” part is, alas, wishful thinking.
“Will the senator from Texas for the record tell us now – and those who watched this debate – whether he is protected and his family’s protected?” Durbin asked Wednesday morning, repeating a question he’d been trying to get Cruz to answer.
“I’m happy to tell you now I am eligible for it and I am not currently covered under it,” Cruz responded"
Wow. It appears Cruz in covered under his wife’s plan. She works for Goldman Sachs. Top executives at Goldman Sachs have their premiums paid by the company.
“According to a 2009 New York Times report, top executive officers and managing directors at the bank participate in a health care program that costs Goldman more than $40,000 in premiums for each particpant’s family annually.” Ted Cruz Apparently Gets His Health Insurance From Goldman Sachs | HuffPost Latest News
Wow. At $40.000 a year, that’s gotta be some pretty nice health insurance. I’m sure Cruz opposes the ACA because he thinks folks should just get a plan like his. Bootstraps and all that.
Huh. And I thought that “taxing Cadillac plans” thing was a myth. That’s not a Cadillac plan, it’s a fucking Rolls-Royce chauffered by Lewis Hamilton plan!
The N.Y. Times has a graphic comparing Tea Party conservatives and Non-Tea Party conservatives. For example, 78% of the former “in general hope that Obama’s policies will fail” compared with only 36% of the latter. The split was 29% to 60% on “Do you approve of Obama as a person.”
38% of Tea-Party conservatives think “Obama was born in the United States.” (I find the non-Tea figure here to be scary: only 52%.)
Somebody actually married that blazing asshole? The generosity of women never ceases to astound me.
One doesn’t often hear Goldman Sachs people called “generous” very often. I had to check to make sure which one you were calling a blazing asshole.
I saw bits of Cruz’ speech on The Daily Show last night. I know that people say he’s crazy like a Fox, but unless TDS cut and pasted it for maximum absurdity, then I’m not sure how Cruz’ presidential ambitions are going to survive this self-inflicted broadside. Duck Dynasty? Green Eggs and Ham? Random babbling? It’s like a smorgasbord of attack ad ammo.
Personally, I don’t think Cruz wants to be President. He wants to be known as the highest ranking elected official who never compromised his (idiotic) standards, and he wan’t to eventually retire to Fox or some nuthouse think tank like the Heartland Institute.
I can’t recall who it was that Rachel Maddow used joke about as someone doing performance art rather than taking a principled stand. Cruz strikes me more as a performance artist.
Herman Cain, probably.
The Pizza Guy, the “9-9-9” doofus, Whats-his-face. Herman Cain.
Don’t forget his Pokemon lyrics poem. That’s what proved he was in on the joke, to me.
