Some fellow wrote a lengthy academic piece a few years ago making a claim we vote for the candidate who comes across as nicest. The media image of Ted Cruz is anything but nice. He’s portrayed as shrill and mean-spirited. As an admirer of Cruz and his great intellect I’d place him among my personal finalists in the Republican Party...
I spent Christmas, 1978, shoveling. All Christmas Day. I was a junior in high school and it set a precedent. The following year I worked 8 hours Christmas Day washing dishes.

I live in the house without a television. Let me clear that line up. I live in a house without a television hooked up.
