Dear Ted Cruz

It would appear that you have only recently become aware that you are a Canadian citizen. You spent four years in Canada as a born-in-Canada, card-carrying socialist Communist Canadian. In light of that, those damnable Tea Partiers that you must satisfy beyond any reasonable doubt have questions with regard to the following:

  1. Have you now, or have you ever in the past, made use of that socialist commie pinko Communist health insurance scam in Canada that is responsible for killing its citizens by means of death panels?
  2. Have you ever spoken even one word of French-Canadian? Have you ever Frenched* a woman? How about some occasional French kissing** now and again?
  3. Your parents are listed as being an American mother, and a Cuban father. Should you chose to move to Cuba, you are more than likely eligible for Cuban citizenship. Would there be any chance of that happening? Ever?
  4. What’s your position on Cuba? Should America continue to give it a good reaming?
  5. As an agent of a foreign government, can the country you presently call home (that’s America, right? Not Cuba? Not Canada?) depend on you to defend what’s left of the Constitution to the best of your ability? At a minimum, to qualify as a Party of Tea member, that means knowing three words: We the people.
  6. How dense, stupid and moronic do you have to be to not understand that, as a result of being born in a democratic commie pinko Communist foreign country, as well as having lived there for four years thereafter, you’re a citizen of that country.

* Yes, I know. It’s the same as **. But just in case Mr. Cruz probably wasn’t aware of it. At all.

What a tragedy

RNC votes to exclude CNN, NBC from 2016 presidential primary debates

Now there’s a vote-getter if there ever was one. Please stop giving these guys guns, lest they run out of feet.

I so look forward to the comedy shows that the Republican National Committee airs on the eve* of every election. I might add that I don’t actually watch the performances by the comedians. I much prefer the abridged versions that make them a laughingstock. Which brings to mind a question: Why don’t more of the homegrown idiots end up being laughed out of the stadium, or, eaten  by the lions?

As for those that are absolutely not homegrown, e.g. Ted Cruz, please keep him. k thx

* Eve? That silliness goes on forever. What America really needs** in its government is a Loyal Opposition. (Forgive me. It’s a Wikipedia link because I figure no one will read it anyway.)

** Well, okay, I must admit that I’m no expert on American government, but I do tend to avoid Faux News. Might that qualify me?

Jambo from NBO

News from my old stomping ground, Embakasi, isn’t looking good today. Embakasi is the former name for NBO (Nairobi International Airport/Jomo Kenyatta) before it went modern.

Back in the dark ages on the Dark Continent, I recall the approach to Embakasi some time after midnight. The first thing that caught my attention was the decided lack of lights visible across the city. (Well, all right, that’s probably not the first thing.) I summoned a taxi and was quite amazed at the number of people camped out around fires on the road into the city.

Thankfully, I had a reservation at the New Stanley. Without that, and the Israeli girl I met and got to know, I’d probably have jumped ship, so to speak. Unfortunately, I can’t locate any of my time-travel photos of the New Stanley.

Oh, the stories I am reminded of. Perhaps another time.

 

Vietnam wants to ban internet users from discussing the news

The U.S officials in Hanoi also have criticized the Vietnamese government. They said that individuals deserve the same freedom online as “they do offline” and are “deeply concerned” about the decree. They added that the Vietnamese government should “respect  the right to freedom of expression.”

America is only pissed because some constitutional lawyer who is President didn’t think of it first for his own citizens.

Furthermore…

Dear Al-Qaeda “Legion of Doom”

The crucial intercept that prompted the U.S. government to close embassies in 22 countries was a conference call between al Qaeda’s senior leaders… –http://www.thedailybeast.com

Would it be possible for you to host more of those conference calls? I’m certain that there are many free-thinking people around the world who would like to see many more American embassies closed on a permanent basis. Because, you know

Added bonus: With a forced reduction of American citizens abroad, America and the Black Butcher known as President Obama could concentrate all of their drones on foreigners, rather than their own citizens.
