What do green eggs and hamLiberace and Ashton Kutcher have in common?
They've all become entries in the historical record, getting mentions on the Senate floor as conservative Republicans deride President Barack Obama's health care law, shorthanded as "Obamacare."
what's next Mother Goose nursery rhymes?  if the republicans were a clown car circus act in 2012 primary, this guy has got to win the the Razzie awards they need to create another category for worse stand up comic, Dr. Seuss, really? 
When he stood at his desk at 2:42 p.m., Sen. Ted Cruz promised he would talk until he could no longer stand. He was standing to object to a measure that funds the government and also cuts off money for Obamacare. Senate Democrats who control the chamber intend to strip away the health care provision and send it back to the House by the end of the week.
The session led by Cruz, a freshman Texas Republican, was followed by conservatives using #KeepCruzing on Twitter. It stretched beyond 17 hours and was on track to last until noon.
Sure, it's a fake filibuster. Cruz negotiated the terms of his long talk with Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, and appeared to have carefully crafted exchanges with friendly lawmakers popping up to give him a respite from speaking. Cruz will have to stop at noon.
how much money is he spending by holding the senate hostage to his kindergarten rants, he missed the moral of green eggs and ham, being "try it you might like it".  we can pray that the message was gotten as it's actual meaning.  most of all i hope they see this as a ridiculous attempt to be in the history books as the filibusterer, along with a sub paragraph of the juvenile rhetoric having nothing to do with the Peoples business.
second note his reference to Nazi's, i told you these T-Per's have this mad love for all things Nazi, no one ever brings it up but them, are they in the closet with their memorabilia doing weird chants and burning things???
