Hugh Jackman, Meet Huge Asshat

Not much news came out of our President*'s recent boondoggle/clownshow trip to the Southern border. Couple of staged photo ops, some pointing at tunnels (which a wall won't do much to stop), a big pile of seized narcotics (which came into the U.S. via border crossings like most drugs, also something a wall won't stop). I normally wouldn't have paid any attention to it at all, until I came upon an image in a photograph of the circus.

At first, I just found this an amusing visual, and I tweeted something about the Wolverine remake looking terrible. But then my muse struck (also, Zman texted me - perhaps he is my muse). There's more to here than meets the eye.

Both Ted Cruz and Logan (Wolverine's real name) were born in Canada.

Neither Cruz nor Logan use their given first names. Logan's real name is James. Ted's real name is Rafael.

Logan has an adamantium skeleton. Ted has a spine made of tinfoil.

Logan is moody and misanthropic. Ted is creepy and people feel misanthropic when they are exposed to him.

Logan killed his birth father. Cruz's father killed John F. Kennedy.

Wolverine eviscerates bad guys with his retractable claws. Cruz elbowed his wife in the head. Twice.



Logan also killed his childhood friend, Rose. Cruz is widely believed to be the Zodiac Killer.

Wolverine is devoted to Professor Charles Xavier, a brilliant scientist. Cruz is devoted to our President*, a venal, bloated, corrupt embarrassment.

It all seems clear when you put all the pieces together, doesn't it. Ted Cruz really shouldn't wear a beard.
