Ted Cruz is perplexing to me. I’ve never seen someone be so blatantly disrespectful of people and laws. I don’t think he’s dumb but why would someone with political aspirations behave as he is? Is he being paid well to be so foolish?
There is no rational explanation for Cruz, but Susie Madrak had a good one here. “Ted Cruz was raised by doting, batshit crazy Bircher parents who apparently told him from the time he could walk that he was Special and had A Mission. He’s as batshit crazy as they are, and seems to believe this. After all, he’s the new Senator from Texas! ”
But… leave it to Juanita Jean her ownself to give the best explanation.
North East of Hawaii, the ocean currents form a giant whirl pool of debris from around the Pacific, the scientific name is called the North Pacific Gyre. It’s one of the largest ecosystems on Earth, comprising of millions of square kilometres. Today it’s better known as “The Great Garbage Patch,” an area the size of Queensland, Australia where there is approximately one million tonnes of plastic spread throughout the ocean. Drag a net in any area of this part of the ocean and you will pick up toxic, discarded plastic. Photographer Chris Jordan has documented this phenomenon.
Today’s guest lesson, economics geeks and wanna bees comes from Crooks and Liars. Probably the best explanation I’ve seen about why supply side economics just flat-assed doesn’t work and is a load of garbage. This post includes, ya know, actual evidence and everything. Well worth the read.
Thanks, 617. I’m slooooowly recovering, but afraid to tell anyone I’m still feeling like hell because I fear someone will drive out her and drag my sorry ass to the doctor. Something I have neither the money nor the time to indulge in. Summer keeps bringing me tissues but she has a problem with that no thumbs thingy so they are kind of soggy from being carried in her mouth…
You know, I could swing by to pick you up, 6176. We could head to PrairiePond’s place and give Summer a thank you in person. If we had some chicken soup or… we found out what kind of supplies are running low or…
Awwwww…. you guys are sweet. Summer says the only supplies we need are Milk Bones. Lucky says forget the Milk. Just bring bones. PP says just bring whatever the dogs want. They are holding her hostage!

Seems an accurate statement.

Ideological purity is the only rational explanation I have, if he is not being well paid.

Juanita Jean also had the best blog line of all time. “I admit it. I got so drunk that I had to hold on to the grass to lean against the ground.”
Damn, lady, that there should have come with a spew warning! 🙂
This is a wake up call, or should be.

Good stuff, pp. As a wanna bee, I need simple explanations, with data and everything clearly shown in a graph (or graphs – I’m not particular). 🙂
Hey, on a personal note, hope you’re feeling better. My Fall allergies are firing; pass the antihistamines.

hey, it’s the thought that counts, right?
Glad to hear you’re getting better, albeit slowly. Tell Summer “Thank you” for me.
