1. Jmowreader pwns Cruz!

Cruz should read another Dr. Seuss classic, Yertle the Turtle:
http://www.dailykos.com/story/2012/03/02/1070301/-The-Political-Life-of-Dr-Seuss#

..."In it, King Yertle wishes to be seen as the important turtle that he is. He discovers that by climbing on the back of another turtle, he elevates himself to a higher position, and is more easily seen by the masses. The more turtles he stacks to climb upon their backs, the higher he rises. As in many great lessons, Yertle the Turtle ends up with disappointment. Although rising above others by putting them below himself sounded like a great idea, Yertle learns that the tower he made for himself out of the sacrifices of others, was bound to crumble eventually."
