CNN reports that "Our Ted" has given up his "faux-filibuster" of the government-spending bill that defunds "Obamacare" after less than 22 hours. Given that the record for the longest filibuster in Senate history, 24 hours and 18 minutes, was delivered by Strom Thurmond when Thurmond was well into his 50s, one is left to wonder where the 42-year-old Cruz's stamina went. Perhaps too much green eggs and ham?
Winners never quit, and quitters never win. Just sayin'.

All readers are welcome to offer insightful, thoughtful comments on posts, other readers's comments, etc. This is manifestly not a post-modern blog; formal logic is the intellectual framework that we use for commentary. Sorry, if you can't handle structured/structural thought, you shouldn't be reading this blog. Ad hominem attacks will not be tolerated. Neither will spam ads. If you can't resist the urge to post a spam ad about how hot you and your naughty sorority sisters are (or how eager you are to meet "generous older gentlemen"), or what a great site you found for knockoff electronics on cheap, or much money I can save buying v1agra or C !al1s at a steep discount (a particularly offensive line of advertising), then please just go away. Violators will be blocked. Thank you!
