Texas Senator Ted Cruz had himself an attention sucking weekend.  In Cruz’s book, that qualifies as pole dancin’ at Dirty Larry’s Strip Club.  The boy is an exhibitionist.

Used to be in Texas, we hid our crazy uncles in the attic.  Now we elect them to congress.

First off, he’s making headlines about being a  Proud Wacko Bird.  He’s unnaturally pleased about John McCain labeling him a wacko bird because people will actually go to a zoo to see a wacko bird and most folks won’t cross the street to see John McCain.  Ted Cruz does not care if you come to watch him in a cage throwing poop, just so long you come.

And then according to the Dallas Morning News (a place where alert is a dirty word) Cruz is “launching” his idea to abolish the IRS.

Ted went to New York City last weekend to push his idea.  It should be noted that Rick Perry was already there, which raises the IQ level of both states by 30 or 40 points.

Ted was shocked, shocked I tell you, to find that tax experts called him “confused.”  Honey, I’m not a tax expert but I know for a fact that Ted Cruz rarely knows if he’s getting up or going to bed.

It seems that he wants either a 23% sales tax, a postcard or some damn thing, or to just let Rick Perry be king and him be prince.  He also wants taxpayers to “self-report earnings, major deductions and how much they owe.”  Oh yeah, because everybody is so damn honest. He also favors a flat tax.

Here ya go —

Billionaire businessman Steve Forbes built his 2000 presidential bid around a flat tax. Rick Perry advocated a flat tax when he ran for president last year. Dick Armey, the former House majority leader from suburban Dallas, has long pushed a flat tax, as does FreedomWorks, the tea party group he founded.

Boy Howdy, that idea sure is popular.  Hell, even FreedomWorks fired Armey.

Keep it up, Cruz, keep it up.

And by the way, if you see Ted, tell him he’s going to bed.  He won’t know.

Thanks to Larry for the heads up.
