Flabbergast the Fright

March 23, 2015

5EKVg.Hi.4Rain this early Monday on California’s north coast, the downpour heavy at times, though, not long-lasting — we could get more than an inch of wetness tonight as this last storm winds itself flat after three or four days.
A minor ‘heat wave’ toward the end of the week, with temperatures supposedly up near the 70s and plenty of sunshine — only time will tell.

This morning, however, time took a way-ugly leap forward, maybe a whole year — Ted Cruz officially popped out of the 2016 GOP presidential clown-box, proclaiming, amongst a bunch of other Tea-kettle bullshit, “It is a time for truth…”

The ‘truth‘ ironically being air pollution.

Cruz tossed the first nutcase hat in the useless-ugly race for the White House next year, and we can expect a whole stream of absolute tomfoolery ahead for the next 18 months or so, with plenty of whacked-ignorant assholes presented a wide-ranging platform — which is the horror. Not only in hardcore oral pollution, but nasty-lying mud sucked up into the airwaves.
Political hijinks and fun — if the end-results weren’t so catastrophically devastating.

Not only are Republicans unable to govern — they have an inherent sense of division — the GOP is creating a smokescreen to thickly blanket any real discussion of climate change.
Just the biggest fucking deal on the planet, duh!

In an appeal to only the lowest intellect, Cruz comes across to any sensible person as a way-obvious idiot:

“I just came back from New Hampshire, where there’s snow and ice everywhere.
“My view on this is simple: Debates on this should follow science and should follow data, and many of the alarmists on global warming, they have a problem because the science doesn’t back them up,” Cruz said on “Late Night with Seth Meyers” last week.

Yet the muddling of the water.
And wouldn’t you know it, a ‘Moonbeam’ popped the bubble — our own Gov. Jerry Brown on TV yesterday (via ABC News): “That man betokens such a level of ignorance and a direct falsification of existing scientific data. It’s shocking, and I think that man has rendered himself absolutely unfit to be running for office,” Brown said.

Sorry, governor, stuff like that doesn’t matter. The GOP plan to throw a wrench into whatever machinery.

Cruz is not a simpleton, though, and has some real financial expertise in his personal corner — this charmed, and much-telling paragraph buried down in the Bloomberg story on Ted’s announcement:

Cruz’s wife, Heidi, and daughters Catherine, 4, and Caroline, 6, accompanied him.
Heidi Cruz, a managing director at Goldman Sachs Group Inc. in Houston, has taken an unpaid leave from her job to help with her husband’s campaign, a person familiar with the matter said Monday.

And Ted’s job?
The opening paragraph from Newsweek on the announcement: ‘Ted talks. And talks. And talks. The Texas senator is on a round stage at Liberty University in Virginia, a Christian campus founded by the late Reverend Jerry Falwell. He had one of those attached-to-your-head mics like those at TED Talks and hand gestures to boot as he strolled around the stage, all without a teleprompter.’

Showboating shit for brains, while the world cooks.
