13. Gotta be very careful with the things God "wants us to do."

In the wake of Boehner's comments about Cruz, Mother Jones ran an excellent (and exhaustive) piece on the many people who loathe Cruz, with all of the gory details.

And in typical "all roads lead to Rome" fashion, the common thread was that Cruz is a dick who does not play well with others. He invited himself to meetings he was never invited to, he was the prototype "self-proclaimed" expert...kinda the way George Zimmerman was a "self-appointed neighborhood watch" thug.

So yeah...maybe this was the only way God thought he could teach Cruz a lesson.

Or maybe he imagined it all because it fit his agenda.
