The Twilight Zone

Franz Kafka’s seminal work, The Metamorphosis begins, “One
morning, as Gregor Samsa was waking up from anxious dreams, he discovered that
in bed he had been changed into a monstrous verminous bug. He lay on his
armor-hard back and saw, as he lifted his head up a little, his brown, arched
abdomen divided up into rigid bow-like sections. From this height the blanket,
just about ready to slide off completely, could hardly stay in place. His
numerous legs, pitifully thin in comparison to the rest of his circumference,
flickered helplessly before his eyes.” Poor Samsa had turned into a cockroach
and it kind of went downhill from there. It’s no Cinderella, but it’s well
written.
My take is slightly different: One morning, as Bonzo the
cockroach was waking from anxious dreams, he discovered that overnight he had
been changed into Ted Cruz. He lay on pink fleshy back and saw, as he lifted his
head up a little, his paunchy Twinkie-filled gut mocking him. From where he lay
on the filthy floor, he could see the full-length mirror on the wall beside
him. In shock, he wailed, “I can’t let anyone see me like this. When I laid
down last night I was a perfectly fine and healthy cockroach – one of God’s
most impressive, indestructible – if not loveable – creations. Now look at me!
I look like Joe McCarthy f*&#d Pinocchio who was then forced to conceive by
Richard Nixon.” What an unfortunate cockroach.
Finger-pointing Fear-mongers
“The media promptly wants to blame him on the pro-life movement…It’s also reported that he was registered as an independent and a woman and a transgendered leftist activist if that’s what he is.” Strange, since this upstanding Republican’t was known to hand out anti-Obama propaganda upon meeting new people. And he happened to mention something about “no more baby parts” while raging against Obama, upon being finally subdued after murdering innocent people. Cruz immediately blamed the next mass murder in San Bernardino on “radical Islamic terrorism.” I don’t recall him mentioning anything about the Planned Parenthood killer’s religious affiliation. I must have missed it.
According to Cruz, "I have never met — not once — a
single pro-life activist who is in favor of violence of any sort."
Really!? What the hell is this guy smoking? Must be some of that Canadian Tar
Sands stuff - I hear it’s pretty potent. He must not get out much. Ted is by
all accounts a very smart…let’s say man. If this is true then one must conclude
that a) he doesn’t actually believe what he is saying and is simply playing the
Coulter Card to rile up the (psychotic) base in case they give up on the
greatest candidate ever – Donald Chrump, or b) he is himself an irredeemable
sociopath. Has he not heard about the many anti-choice, Bible-thumping
conservatives who have shot and/or killed doctors who performed completely
legal medical procedures at their patients’ request? It was in all the papers. One
guy even went to Ted’s homeland - Canada - for a slow motion shooting spree of
abortion providers.
Even Billo Reilly talked about murderous anti-choice
activists when he had to defend his own inflammatory rhetoric after the brutal
murder (in a church no less) of Dr. George Tiller. Did one of his viewers possibly
take to heart O'Reilly mentioning Tiller by name amost 50 times between 2005
and Tiller’s eventual assassination in 2009, in most instances referring to
Tiller specifically as a "baby killer?" Now why would anyone who
watches O’Reilly regularly hear that and then murder someone who Bill says is a
baby killer? We’re talking about Fux viewers, and it’s not like any of them are
Democrats.
Ted Man Talking
"Now, listen, here's the simple and undeniable fact:
the overwhelming majority of violent criminals are Democrats. The media doesn't
report that." One reason the media doesn’t report that is because Ted just
made it up. Or maybe his neighbor’s dog told him that. Cruz wouldn’t know a
simple and undeniable fact if it was stapled to his upper lip.
Cruz says he will appoint Donald Chrump as his “Border Wall Czar”
Cruz, a mere two days after America's latest mass
shooting (we are currently averaging more than one a day in 2015), decided
it would be a perfect time for him to unveil his National 2nd Amendment
Coalition - whatever the hell that is. Because, we may not know
much about why this latest mass murder occurred, but one thing we know for sure
is guns are good and more guns is better. So shoot 'em if you've got 'em.
And...
Ted Cruz’s college roommate Craig Mazin had this
to say during an interview on October 17, 2013, “And, you know, I want to be
clear, because Ted Cruz is a nightmare of a human being. I have plenty of problems
with his politics, but truthfully his personality is so awful that 99 percent
of why I hate him is just his personality. If he agreed with me on every issue,
I would hate him only one percent less.” I rest my case.
I. Mangrey reporting. Are we there yet?
* not
verified, but easily as true as anything Cruz himself says
