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

Sheehan: Austin > Cindy Sheehan in Austin, April 2006 (14)

Ms. Sheehan, bored with the Camp Casey scene in a bar ditch outside Crawford, Texas, decides to take it on the road and brings her motley crew of Code Pinkers, Free Potters and sundry Sixties has-beens, retreads and wannabes to the home of Bevo and appropriately, the home of the largest urban population of actual bats (Mexican Freetail, not Moon.) This group, for all its diversity (?) had two unifying themes: hatred for George W. Bush and hatred for America. Don't let the flags fool you. Oh, make that three: and copious amounts of stupidity.
