Congratulations to faculties of Princeton and Harvard law for enabling Sen. Ted Cruz to bring his governing philosophy full circle. From cradle to cradle.
Are the following courses available for audit? :
1) Advanced red-faced baby nihilism
2) Ability to believe your own horse shit
despite overwhelming evidence to the contrary.101
3) WE ARE THE GOVERNMENT AND WE HATE THE US [a
positive motivational force in modern politics]
To The Law Professors:
1) Civil disobedience as practiced by aficionados of late Senators Jesse Helms and Strom Thurmond or "BLACKS CAN COOK THE CORNBREAD LONG AS WE WRITE THE RECIPE."
We, the wide eyed ignorant masses. marvel at the genius it must have taken to produce this red-faced- baby- nihilist-in- perpetual-anti- government- tantrum-mode.
Senator Cruz is about to take a full on, gravy leg, dump on the floor of the senate and he ain’t wearin’ a diaper. Even his brother republicans won't clean it up this time.
Cruz spoke for 21 hours and 19
minutes on the senate floor Monday and Tuesday. This was purely a narcissistic
exercise aimed at raising his bona fides with the more rabid members of the Tea Party base. He may have succeeded in that respect, but, he has raised the profile
of the heretofore somewhat private G.O.P. civil war to the level of a public spectacle.
As offensive as it was to see even part of this display I found his reading of
Dr. Suess particularly painful. A direct, deeply personal assault on my
youthful lower class literary sensibilities. This was a deliberate, symbolic,
violation of inner children everywhere.
I humbly offer the following homage
to the late Dr . It is an offering to the gods of common decency; may they lift
the curse, so recklessly cast upon his good works by this poisonous purveyor of
deceit.
Speaking of phonies, and speaking of fakes and speaking of bunk and the mess that it makes. Speaking of bigots, and tyrants and rakes and the time that they waste and the toll that it takes. Well I don’t like to brag but I’m telling you Liz that last night I witnessed the best that there is.
The T.V. was on the lights were all out on the screen there was something worth worrying about. A man without reason. A man without clout, but lusting for power there could be no doubt. He railed and he ranted he held his end up. He barely drank coffee,two thirds of a cup. In the end it meant nothing but face time for Cruz and a night without sleep not so much as a snooze. Does Tea stand for taxes or Texas or Ted ?You should ask yourself when you get into bed with anyone touting such radical views and keep one eye open for Sen.Cruz.

That is the kind of stuff that rattles around in my head during the 45 minute commute to my restaurant job. I supervise low wage workers in a Brew-Pub Bistro. They work jobs that require skill, and as much expertise as we can offer with the brief training period that constant labor cost pressure allows. They are motivated, dedicated, and surprisingly interested in the overall success of the enterprise. I have just recently begun making a genuine effort to reconcile the lives many of us live with the laws and law-makers that in part, shape our lives. It is painful to pay attention but increasingly important that working people watch carefully. It is becoming easier to identify the most destructive actors in this latest looming catastrophe. In an effort to avoid alienating friends co-workers and family many of us have taken the default position that all elected officials are equally at fault for the impending government shutdown. If you pay careful attention to the Republican - tea party faction it becomes clear that they are wealthy, educated, cunning and wholly responsible. They needn't worry in the event of a loss of government services and have little regard for electoral consequences. The gerrymandering process has virtually guaranteed their re-election and they have no need for a majority when it is clear that by refusing to recognize laws passed by a majority they are able to block passage of any meaningful law for years at a time. These neo-anarchists should not be described as "inept publish officials." They are Republicans, wealthy, well educated, and don't give a fuck how much college loans cost cause they can afford it, REPUBLICANS.
It is frightening to
watch Cruz - a junior senator from Texas manipulate the House of Reps. The
elected majority and the majority of Republicans seem powerless to hamstring this
mad dog. What is even more troubling is the number of poor working people who
are tweaked by the anti–gov, anti-black, anti-intelligence message delivered
by this group. They are continually stacking the deck in favor of wealth while peddling apocalyptic stories of a government that wants to take away guns. The Tea Party
is a platform for thinly disguised racism, and concentration of wealth cloaked
in a protest movement. Convince enough people that ignorance and
shortsightedness are noble traits and they will be subservient to those who
scream the loudest.
