Interestingly, Alberta, Ted's home province is, in fact, rat-free (or so they claim) <a href="http://ca.news.yahoo.com/bl..." target="_blank">" rel="nofollow noopener" title="http://ca.news.yahoo.com/blogs/dailybrew/alberta-...">http://ca.news.yahoo.com/bl...

He doesn't need it. He's got his wife's Goldman Sacks $40K per year health plan.

If they could explain what they hate about the ACA, they might be able to come up with an alternative plan. Ranting about socialism will not get them anywhere.

I suspect Editrix could name at least one.

<i>"...Ted Cruz has gotten a little guff."</i>

OT but ... For her birthday one year I gave my sister* a packet of campaign materials as if she was running for governor. A button, a bumper sticker, a fund raising letter, a press release, etc. Her supposed slogan: "No more guff!" __________________________ * Buy the upcoming <a href="http:\/\/www.amazon.com\/Next-Generation-Wake-Up-Solving-Problems\/dp\/1250000998\/ref=la_B00E5U05V0_1_1\?s=books&amp\;ie=UTF8&amp\;qid=1381336573&amp\;sr=1-1" target="_blank">book</a> she co-authored with Debbie Wasserman-Schultz. If only so she'll pay back the ten bucks she owes me. Also, for the "scintillating prose", "exciting ideas", blah blah blah.

You'll be pleased to know that <a href="http:\/\/www.livescience.com\/40270-invasive-bugs-government-shutdown.html" target="_blank">there are some winners</a> in the shutdown circus. This will really improve the GOP's standing in the farm belt.

To be fair, Hitler's Natzi party recruitment website was pretty glitchy too.

OT, but <a href="http:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2013\/10\/08\/business\/ruth-benerito-cotton-chemist-of-permanent-press-renown-dies-at-97.html\?_r=0" target="_blank">a real hero has passed. </a> The kind who quietly make life better for millions of people. Memo to teabagging Republican shitheads: she worked for the gubmint.
