From Ted Cruz, the wacko bird whom John McCain wishes to capture, imprison, starve, dismember, and eventually bake into cookies so that he can eat him.
These are a week old, but since nothing’s really changed, they are timely reminders about what the Senate — including Senate Republicans — are doing to us:
See also, Cruz on the perverse incentives in the Gang of 8 Bill to fire American workers and hire newly-legal erstwhile illegals to avoid ObamaCare fines:
Sign the petition. It’s likely an empty gesture — GOP lawmakers don’t give a rat’s ass what the subjects think until election time roles around, at which point they’ll lie and tack right, just as John “complete the dang fence” McCain did — but at least you’ll have played Sisyphus and pushed your rock up the hill again.
And there’s something noble in that.
I happily signed the petition.
And I’ve been writing my Senators daily since this whole Kabuki act began. But since those folks would be Schumer and Gillebrand, well, you know…
Mr regards to all.
Just don’t bake the Cruz cookies too long, or Mav won’t be able to gum them to a consistency he can consume.
Fucker is passed. 68-32.

Regardless of whether the House is able to halt this abomination in its tracks, we need to primary every single one of these bozos.
Several of those senators and senatrix are older than Methuselah. I say we get cracking on term limits.
Oh, enough with term limits already! It’s like saying that the solution to structurally unsound buildings is to require they get a fresh coat of paint every five years.
Better to strip them of their power and privileges, and make the job so meaningless that nobody gives a shit who’s in Washington. Who would want to be Senator-For-Life if there weren’t opportunities for graft, abuse of power and fulfillment of personal delusions of grandeur?
I stand corrected, Squid.
I’d have been right there with you if you’d said “death panels” instead of term limits.
Carousel!
“It’s been a real nice clam bake…we’re mighty glad we came..”
Of course the rest of that musical is pretty #@#$ing creepy.
Oh wait sorry… wrong Carousel. I meant to say RENEW! BZZZAAAAPPTT!
“Regardless of whether the House is able to halt this abomination in its tracks, ”
Ahhh. Still got a bit of that old 2007 spirit left. Good. Good.
“I happily signed the petition.”
Good. Lot’s of e-mail headed your way then.
Ahhh. Still got a bit of that old 2007 spirit left. Good. Good.
Fading fast. When it comes to my previously incurable optimism, the GOP have managed to cure it.
RENEW! BZZZAAAAPPTT!
I would hope (and fully expect) that our political class would be equally oblivious of the fact that no one ever renews.

I am stupidly watching Hannity talk about the Zimmerman Martin trumped up 2nd degree case.
Did you know that ‘creepy cracker’ is not racial or derogatory language? Is she sedated? Is she just dumb? This makes me want to burn my TV. It’s become a window into a hell where feelings are everything and nothing makes any sense because it doesn’t have to. I think it might be the future I’m looking at.

She stupid and ugly. Fugly, even.
Only white people can be racist, cracker.

Hell to pay:’ Residents angry as RCMP sieze guns from High River homes
‘It’s just like Nazi Germany,’ says resident
BTW, the Si se puede chanting from the gallery when Slow Joe read the Senate vote tally was a nice touch.
“Only white people can be racist, cracker.”
And some hispanics apparently.
Only if they are “white Hispanics,” whatever that means.
creepy “ass cracker” could be construed to mean according to definition # 2 of the urban dictionary as one who engages in anal sex.
I believe our witness offered to Trayvon that he might be a rapist.
So it could very well be an example of hetero-sexism. or homophobia or racist depending on where the emphasis of the phrase occurred.
Either way a large swath of identity groups could claim offense.
‘Cracker’ is calling a “white” person a cruel domineering owner of chattel slaves who punishes any sign of laziness or impertinence. It’s delusional bullshit.
“Cracker” comes from “Georgia cracker”, and means a virulently anti-black racist.
Tell me another one. Maybe how “beaner” isn’t racist, huh?

Oh, enough with term limits already!
Thanks. I get tired of the term limit panacea, myself.
I tell people that for our system to work, we need an informed an engaged group of voters. No new law like limiting terms will ever make up for the shortage of serious and responsible citizens in the voting booth.
Since we can’t conjure up good voters, taking the power and prestige out of government is the only sensible remedy.
Further putting the lie to the notion that only whites can be racist, in my 50+ years on the planet I have been called “Paddy” ,”Ofay”, “White Girl”, “Cracker” and few others I can’t recall. It’s interesting that liberal white folks get their knickers in a twist when one describes an unknown person by race when this is human nature. If there are two guys at work with the same name, and one is white and the other is black, how else do these folks propose you make clear which one you are talking about? I had a work situation with two fellows named Larry. One was about 300 pounds and the other about 180. They were Big Larry and Little Larry. They could have been Fat Larry and Indian Larry, but that was taking it to a mean place.
…taking the power and prestige out of government is the only sensible remedy.
And term limits would be a step in the right direction.
Durbin-McCain-Schumer
If the limits are strict enough to seriously inconvenience would-be ruling class types they will simply run straw candidates while playing the part of congressional aids. It happens in local governments all over the place.
Name a step, then, that you think might help “tak[e] the power and prestige out of government.”
AaaOooogaahh!
Rocketman, off the starboard bow!
Jiggers, it’s Rocketdad!
Jiggers? Racist.
