So Chris Christie has leaped on the luggage rack of the GOP Presidential clown car on the same day that Macy’s joined the growing list of companies severing ties with Donald Trump over his remarks about Mexico. Former NY governor George Pataki and former FL governor J.E.B.‽ made it clear that they don’t agree with Trump.

Ted Cruz apparently just figured out that all of the justices of the Supreme Court are lawyers, and all of those appointed by Republican Presidents are Catholics. Currently the Court has 6 Catholics and 3 Jews.

FL Senator Marco Rubio has announced that he will oppose normalization of relations with Cuba. This is because there are still a couple of old Cubans in Calle Ocho who haven’t had the common decency to die so all of the other Cuban-Americans can have normal relations with their families still in Cuba.

Mark Twain

"There are two novels that can change a bookish 14-year old's life: The Lord of the Rings and Atlas Shrugged. One is a childish fantasy that often engenders a lifelong obsession with its unbelievable heroes, leading to an emotionally stunted, socially crippled adulthood, unable to deal with the real world. The other, of course, involves orcs."

John Rogers

"The presence of those seeking the truth is infinitely to be preferred to the presence of those who think they've found it."

Sir Terry Pratchett
