It's Rafael Cruz's platform, basically.

This stuff can be amusing if broadcast from a micro-station in rural Minnesota. At 4:00 AM. In winter. Kind of like case histories.

Back when I was a kid, we had to get up off the couch, cross the room, and turn a dial to change the channel...and in my area, there were exactly two choices. The channel with "Star Trek" and the channel with "The Brady Bunch."

"Transgender Ray" looks like he ought to lay off the coffee for a bit.

...this moment in history will be remembered poorly because we were so obsessed with the transgenders we forgot to explore space...Considering that version 1.02 of Kerbal Space Program came recently, I think I'm having the opposite problem.

You've never heard of Wayne LaPierre or Larry Pratt? There's a whole growth industry around selling paranoia about gun seizures. It's practically the gun industry's primary marketing tool. The more paranoia they stir up about gun grabbin', the more guns the ammosexuals buy to protect themselves from inevitable gun grabbin'. It's worked so well for them that the NRA is now dreading the next republican presidency.

It used to be that there were carnival sideshows that exhibited human curiosities to the local rubes. Now we have reality TV and "media" that has a business model not much different that that of the old time carnies. And it is immensely more profitable and the human oddities even are getting rich. Instead of the dog faced boy and the geek biting the head off a live chicken, we've got the Kardashians in all their permutations. And people are willing to pay to watch. In the old carny days, it was a quarter to go into the tent for a few minutes to be amazed; now just for the price of your basic cable subscription, you can get to watch 24/7. Alex really doesn't understand capitalism, does he?

So, is Jones the dog-headed boy?

Ranting and raving are good aerobic exercise! It's kept Bro. Stair going 80+ years and it'll keep Alex going a loooong time too.
