Harvey Heroes (And Non-Heroes)

By Sniffles

Rafael Cruz, Jr. is still insisting on his lie: that he voted against Superstorm Sandy aid in 2013 because the bill was "two-thirds pork."

Political observers we respect have marveled at Cruz's behavior. Why doesn't he just admit he was wrong about the Sandy bill, and thank his fellow Americans for coming to Texans' rescue?

Because Ted Cruz is an asshole, that's why. And everybody hates him. We cats know. Al Franken told us.

Meanwhile, a few Harvey observations:

1. The right wingers who hate government so much sure seem to think that government should be around to help them in disasters, don't they? We're waiting to hear them publicly thank Jimmy Carter for creating the Federal Emergency Management Administration in the first place. (But we're not holding our breath.)

2. Somebody from FEMA should have had the guts to stand up to Donald Drumpf yesterday on his no-empathy tour and protested his coming budget cuts. That person not only would have spoken truth to power, but he would have instantly become the nation's newest superstar — whether or not he was subsequently fired.

3. Finally, the best Harvey comment we've seen so far on Twitter concerns this soon-to-be-classic photo (above). And it's this: Howzabout replacing all those stupid Confederate statues with Sheriff's Deputy Rick Johnson? He represents America at its best. We cats PURR.
