"If John Boner and Ted Cruz were both on a Sinking Ship, Who Would Be Saved? Answer..

America~

"Harsh?"

Government shutdown unleashes racism

Harsh? Look around you at what is happening to America and you will see harsh. I am not talking about closed parks and monuments. I am talking about the funds cut to nearly 9 million mothers and young children for food, breastfeeding support and infant formula.

That is harsh. Making a war against babies is harsh. And for what? Because Cruz, Republican senator from Texas, has grown so drunk on the sound of his own voice and so besotted with illusions of his own grandeur that he believes halting government today will propel him into the White House tomorrow?

As The New York Times ably pointed out, this shutdown did not just happen. It was plotted for months by a coalition of more than three dozen conservative groups led by Edwin Meese III and funded by the billionaire right-wing Koch brothers, who wanted to cripple Obamacare.

I agree with 1Strong, except I would pee into the boat to help it sink faster. If it got set on fire while sinking, I'd hold it and wait till I got home.
