Ted Cruz for Senate
Under The Marble Arch
"I slept and dreamt that life was Joy.
I woke and saw that life was Duty.
I acted, and behold, Duty was Joy."
–Rabindranath Tagore

"The skepticism about human rationality that science inspires should not be taken as support for authoritarianism or paternalism… On the contrary, it should render questionable all claims to wise and disinterested leadership, including those of America’s own altruistic progressive technocrats who propose policies to “nudge” the unenlightened masses into doing the right thing. It makes more sense to think of our leaders and intellectuals as half-crazed hooting howler monkeys — just like the rest of us."
–Michael Lind, Salon, August 23,2011
“Seeing what isn’t there is half the job of being on the Left. The other half is changing what isn’t there through costly, intrusive, and ill-conceived initiatives (save 10 percent for keeping Charlie Rangel out of trouble).” -Abe Greenberg, October 9, 2009
 “To date, what non-Obama voters see, and fear, is a candidate content to coast to the nomination and then conduct a blandly conservative campaign. They want a more substantive choice than that. They want to have it out over the worth or danger of Barack Obama’s ideas. They want the chance to ratify Washington’s enormous long-term claims on the country’s wealth, or decisively reject them." – Daniel Henninger, WSJ, July 21, 2011

Oh, so he did have a real job before becoming President!

DateThursday, June 21, 2012 at 10:11AM

Now we know where he got the idea for the "shovel-ready job."  At least we know his instinct for what would would be good for the country, in this case, that Michelle stay trapped in a tiny apartment for most of her natural life, was as bad 20 years ago as it is now.

Beeb --

For the first 10 years of our marriage, Barack and I lived in an apartment in my hometown of Chicago.

The winters there can be pretty harsh, but no matter how snowy or icy it got, Barack would head out into the cold -- shovel in hand -- to dig my car out before I went to work. [Couldn't wait for you to leave.]

In all our years of marriage, he's always looked out for me [Hostage to the right hook]. Now, I see that same commitment every day to you and to this country. [No, Michelle: that's a golf club, not a snow shovel he has in his hand.]

The only way we'll win this election is if we can rely on one another like that, all the way to November 6th. Barack is working hard, but he can't do this alone -- he needs your help. [Checking my calendar... oh, sorry, I'll be busy that day.]

Make a donation today to build this campaign -- when you do, you'll be automatically entered to join Barack and me for a casual dinner.  [For entertainment, we'll play charades: one word, 3 syllables, sounds like... unemployed.]

https://donate.barackobama.com/Barack-and-Me

Your flight, your meal, your accommodations -- that's all taken care of. Just bring yourself and a guest [and your own Biggie Fries], and get ready to enjoy a good meal together. [Good meal≠ together.]

Thanks,

Michelle

Think they'll let you take a doggie bag from that dinner?
