The Cruz Kazoo

 GOP Nominee Hopeful, Ted Cruz, Sen. R.-TX Austin TX- Ted Cruz, th e J r. Senator from Texas and a candidate for the GOP Nomination for President says his first memory, is as a young child, blowing a kazoo in the supermarket. His mother, having a lot on her mind told him to stop the racket. He wouldn’t do it. She warned him again, but he kept right on blowing loudly and making a noise. She took the young Ted Cruz home and spanked him. Fast forwarding now to the present day and not much has changed. Cruz still will not be quiet, despite many people asking him to keep it down. Take for example, the very book that the anecdote about the kazoo is taken from. Entitled A Time for Truth, it is the usual book of a modern Republican candidate running for the nomination. He tells his story about his life, attempting, (with some limited success) to remain humorous while at the same time portray (in Cruz case truthfully) his story as one of rags to riches. Then later in the book he lays out

Scott Walker: One Man who might win

 Governor Scott Walker Dallas, TX - It wasn’t supposed to be this way. On Monday, 47 year old Evangelical Christian Scott Walker, former college dropout was not supposed to be able to announce, as he did, that he was running for the nomination of the Republican Party for the Presidency of the United States of America. The reason it wasn’t supposed to happen was because by this time Scott Walker should have been a dead meat forgotten about politician without a career. Scott Walker did all the things you don’t do if you want to become president. He dropped out of college before he finished his degree to go and work for the Red Cross. And then he decided to become a far-right conservative, the sort of thing that doesn’t generally get you very far in a nation where the established ideal is many different variations of go-along-to-get-along. Walker has gone through 14 different elections in his career, and he’s won 12 of them. Along the way he has gotten through a recall election partwa

Donald Trump: Loud Wrong

The Donald Almost all of us are dumb in some area. The world is full of dumb people. But some dumb people are more famous than others. Yes,   I’m talking about Donald Trump. Vin Scully, the famous baseball broadcaster for the Los Angeles Dodgers who called Jacky Robinson’s 1955 Word Series, the first one a black man played in, once said that he (Vin) often prays “Lord, I know sometimes I’m going to be wrong, but please don’t let me be loud wrong.” Donald Trump has turned being loud wrong into an art. It was crazy. A joke, everybody was laughing, holding their sides with pain as Donald Trump, comedian-slash billionaire announced he was running for president. But things have gotten serious very quickly. It started with Trump’s tackling illegal immigration, and saying things that many, if not most of the nation views as racist. But suddenly, Trump has begun to climb in the polls. Ever the calculator, Trump ramped up the rhetoric and the insanity, suing Univision for dropping his Miss Ame
