The older I get, the less impressed by "Harvard" than I used to be as an innocent Angl.Quite frankly, I get less impressed by humanity as a whole the longer I live. Some days, it amazes me we've survived as a species this long.

Cotton is a toy, that should be obvious. Since when do veteran senators stake their careers on some freshman nitwit's high-schoolery? Wall Street has hit the panic button, hard, and this schmuck is their political suicide.

Ted Cruz actually won several cases he tried at SCOTUS. He is a smart mofo - craven and cynical but smart.

After sending this letter, Tommy Cotton will meet later this week with defense contractors.

Soylent teabag: a bitter white tea with strong bullshit flavor, a hint of entitlement, and pungent aroma of racism.

I love how they had their letter translated into Farsi, even though Iran's foreign minister has a stronger command of English than most of these 47 senators (A superior understanding of the Madisonian system, as well).

Iran's foreign minister issued a pretty hilarious response to all of this. The worst part is that he is quite correct in identifying these "Constitutionalists" as people who don't actually know much about the Constitution at all, other than their belief that it preserves the government's right to force us all to become gun-toting Christians who should let their emails and phone conversations be read by the NSA because small government.

Why did Sen. Cotton only get married last year? He's 37 for goodness sake. Inquiring minds...

Ted Cruz may be a good lawyer, but he's an incredibly shitty politician.

Skip the shouting, stick with the shooting—it's their language, and they'll love you for it.
