Couldn't make it but good for you guys for making it down there. It looks like it was a good scene.

Well, that didn't last long.

Back to deriding false equivalencies. There is no left side elected official in America with an equivalent level of stupidity to this. None.

I'm sorry, guy. We all have them. At least yours is by marriage.

Funk recommendation

Last night I went to see Chic with Nile Rodgers and Duran Duran. Nile Rodgers is AMAZING. If you have a chance to catch this tour, do so. Given the recent hits on inhumanly talented musician/songwriter/producers, I can't imagine he's not on the list.

Re: Is Ted Cruz Satan? Discuss.

Well, today is the day it will become clear that we have Bern Out.

In honor of that, a bit of Ethiopian pop with a mix of bollywood, jazz, funk, what have you:

See Bern, it's ok to have a little diversity in your music, and in your electoral supporters.

Where do you get this shit?

The bit about him not being a true believer comes from inside sources. People who know him now and knew him in the past all say his only gods are ambition and self-promotion. Yeah, his dad's a religious loon. But that doesn't mean the kid's stupid. Quite to to contrary, Cruz is highly intelligent and cunning as all fuck.

Look, I'm sure some of that dominionist nonsense rubbed off on Ted (most notably the lunatic teaching that he is god's chosen candidate). But nobody as smart as Cruz, with a history of being such an exclusively self-obsessed operator, could be a true Jesus Freak. You have to be dumb to buy into fundamentalism. This guy isn't dumb. He's a shrewd nihilist who knows how to sell himself to fundamentalist and evangelical rubes. No different than all the other liars who bullshit the bible belt and midwest every election year. The only candidates wearing Jesus Freakism on their sleeves who really seem to mean it are Huckabee and Santorum. Neither has 1/5 the intellectual horsepower of Cruz.

That and, let's face it - no true Jesus fanatic would be comfortable lying as much as Cruz has throughout his political career.

Maybe, but one someone says they believe terrible things, I'm going to take them at their word.

Your instinct to explain it away - for both Trump and Cruz - is weird.
