Trending topics today are the remake of ‘Dumb and Dumber’ and the Ted Cruz marathon speech.

Senator Ted Cruz’ ongoing talk to a nearly empty Senate Chamber included reading from Dr. Suess. “It was the most sense he made all night” said a colleague who chose to remain nameless.

“He was like the little Dutch boy who stuck his finger in the dyke except that it was his foot and he stuck it in his mouth” said another.

Senator Rand Paul slammed Obamacare’s mandates, saying that “when you hear the word ‘mandate,’ that’s not freedom. That’s government telling you have to do something like waiting for the traffic to stop before you cross the street.”

Sen. Ted Cruz ended his all-night talk-a-thon to dismantle President Obama’s health care law after 21 hours and 19 minutes. When he reached the 20-hour mark, it was the fourth-longest Senate speech since precise record-keeping began in 1900 in which nothing of real substance was mentioned.

No one except for a small group in his home district remembered anything he said except a reference to a ‘Dr. Suess’.

“He’s probably one of them liberal doctors that voted for Obamacare” said Red ‘Stumpy’ Harris, a Cruz follower.

Weary after a day and night on his feet, Cruz simply sat down at 12 noon EDT, the predetermined time for the Senate to adjourn, as several of his colleagues breathed a sigh of relief. “Thank God that’s over” one was heard to say through the token applause.

Senate Republicans and some House members congratulated the Texas freshman and mentioned that the best preparation he made was to wear sneakers.
