This isn't going to be about the annual college basketball national championship, the name is very apt to describe the events going on in DC. From CPAC to hearings on gun control, the craziness of the GOP/Tea Party is on full display for all to see.
Ted Cruz thinks he has a superior position with his stance on gun control and the 2nd Amendment and tries to school Diane Feinstein. Note to Ted, next time you want to school someone about a topic, do a little research on your target. Your ignorance about how Sen. Feinstein came to national prominence only compounds your douchebaggery.
Not to mention the continued idiocy of Rand Paul. And Paul Ryan displays for us the very definition of what Einstein meant with his quote;
Insanity: Doing the same thing over and over again and expecting a different result.
But then again, Paul Ryan exemplifies the attitude of the GOP.
On with the games!!
Mojo Friday Guidelines
1) If you comment you have to recommend all comments. (in order to receive mojo you have to give mojo. It's only good mojo manners.)
2) Everything you say may be taken as a joke (so if you ask a question, expect a silly answer)
3) You must recommend the diary (and pimp it unapologetically)
4) You don't have to comment to recommend.
5) You can't steal my idea (right, like that ain't goin' to happen)
6) Please, no pictures or YouTubes until after 300 comments. Now, after 300, use a little common courtesy and be responsible in the number.
7) Mojo mojo mojo mojo, mojo mojo mojo.
8) TexDem (that's me) is not bound by the guidelines. Heh
