SHUTDOWN = GOP MELT DOWN
by noise of rain


We hit the bridges tonight in honor of Ted Cruz. We were thinking of TEA PARTY TANTRUMS, or TEA PARTY TALIBAN, but felt that those messages might be ambiguous for the 60 mph crowd on their way home from Milwaukee, where they make money, to the Western Suburbs, where they complain about Milwaukee. EVICT THE TEA PARTY has promise, and might be good at a future date. SHUTDOWN = SHAKEDOWN has nice symmetry to it, but we were afraid that the Republicans migrating west might well feel it was a "pox on both houses" type of message. What we compromised on (this being a last minute messaging decision) was SHUTDOWN = GOP MELT DOWN. It looked pretty sweet out in the chilly autumn air.





As for Mr. Cruz? He seems to be using the country's pain and suffering as a good fundraising opportunity. Good character, that.

To quote Kurt Vonnegut: "I could carve a better man out of a banana!"
