Ted cruz is still doing his fake fillibuster.... and everyone is paying attention. The media is eating it up like candy.
That said, the media all but ignored the Late Senator Robert Byrd's speech decrying the 2002 Iraq war resolution. I guess not going to war isn't as sexy as watching a man make a mockery of the senate.
One man wept for his country. Another read Green Eggs and Ham.
Let's get this going.

Vaguely annoying. This one doesn't bug me that much. Alternet is such a mixed bag of woo and pseudoscience, hysterical
about the loom danger of christofascim then on the other hand, there are really interesting articles on drug abuse, prisons and sex that are not bad.

The Guarantee! Slowly, I turned....
It's the backbone of the company, yes....but we call it "LL Bean Rentals" on the inside. You should see the stuff that comes back "because I wasn't satisfied". Some days we actually lose money in the store because we take in more returns that we do in daily sales.

On a non-political note, according to the MSNBC story Ted Cruz hasn't even taken a bathroom break in over 20 hours. All that continuous talking creates a lot of physical strain on the vocal cords, and also dehydrates the body. He must have been drinking some water in that time to keep himself hydrated.
So it begs the question.. Did he catheterize himself before this?

Nice to know who's in charge. From KOS:
If you're wondering when Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) will wrap up his marathon non-filibuster floor speech in opposition to funding the Affordable Care Act, sometime before 1 p.m. EDT seems like a good bet. According to RushLimbaugh.com, that's when the Texas senator will appear on Rush Limbaugh's radio program.
