Politics and other nightmares

We're not ready

"Shocking"? Yeah, that's about right. Not, alas, surprising, though:

While the president of the United States pitched his crumbling healthcare program like a late-night infomercial barker, the Army's chief of staff made a shocking admission about national defense.

Idiot's delight

Lord, what a doofus:

While chairman of the board at Ivy Tech Community College, V. Bruce Walkup bombarded college officials and powerful friends with emails filled with political diatribes and sexist jokes, some that included nude pictures of women.

Name game

Despicable us

Where does political correctness go to die? Why, Fort Wayne, of course:

The national debate over whether the NFL's Washington Redskins should change their nickname isn't resonating at Fort Wayne North Side High School, which has the same nickname.

I tweeted this yesterday: "Phony crisis almost over, so now we can go back to ignoring the real crisis -- the fact that gov't borrows 40 cents of every $1 it spends."

So now the phony crisis is all over, or at least postponed for a few months, so let's celebrate the fiasco with this final note:

Sorry about that

Ted Cruz campaigned as a staunch conservative, so they're surprised he turned out to be a staunch conservative?

Sen. Ted Cruz’ hometown newspaper, the Houston Chronicle, wishes it could take back its endorsement.

The Chronicle’s editorial board, which endorsed Cruz, R-Texas, in his 2012 race, now says it misses his predecessor, former Republican Sen. Kay Bailey Hutchison.
