So you know how when a snowball starts small and then builds bigger and bigger as it rolls until it finally hits something and explodes with snow and crap flying everywhere?

Well, I don’t know anything about that because I haven’t seen snow since 1973, but that’s what I see on teevee so I suspect there’s some truth to it.  And, more importantly, I have watched Ted Cruz and that out-of-control snowball has started an avalanche so I am kind of an expert of these things for a girl who lives in flip flops.

So, Ted’s latest attempt at ball building is to say something tacky about President Obama that has never been said before. That’s harder than it first appears to be because they’ve pretty much used every insult in the English language, and a few in moon-man talk, too.

Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) on Friday said that President Barack Obama was trying to violate all of the Bill of Rights and would “start quartering soldiers in people’s homes soon.”

Speaking to the Values Voter Summit in Washington, D.C., Cruz told the audience that the country was facing “extraordinary times.”

“You look at our Constitution, you look at our Bill of Rights, this is an administration that seems bound and determined to violate every single one of our Bill or Rights,” he explained.

Yeah, Ted is real nervous about the Third Amendment, which prohibits the quartering of soldiers in citizen’s homes, because he thinks President Obama has a bucket list to violate every Bill of Rights.

I think Ted is missing the point.  If you shut down the government and destroy the economy, where the hell else can we put our soldiers?

Now we get to the part where Snowball Ted hits the brick wall.

Winning this has been the Kiss of Death in the past.  And that may be why a group of Democrats got together and spent $90 to send a fruit basket to Ted Cruz.

“Dear Ted,” said the card to Texas Sen. Ted Cruz on the fruit and snack basket from 1-800-FLOWERS sent by Brad Woodhouse, president of Americans United for Change and the former Democratic Party communications director. “A Texas sized thank you!! Thanks to you, Obamacare is more popular and the GOP is less so. Keep up the Good Work!! Yours, Americans United for Change.”

So, when the Ted Cruz snowball does explode, there’s gonna be 20, 30 feet of snow all over Texas.

Thanks to everybody for the heads up.
