<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.
