President Obama wants you to know he’s not an emperor, and he’ll order the imprisonment of anyone who disagrees.

Texas Sen. Ted Cruz compared Obama’s executive order on immigration last week to the second Catilinarian conspiracy against ancient Rome by Lucius Sergius Catilina. Yes, this is exactly what most American voters are thinking, too.

Oh that Ted Cruz! He’ll do anything to pander to the history Ph.D. vote.

Melissa Burton of California didn’t like her daughter’s boyfriend a few years ago. “He just wasn’t someone our family approved of,” she said. Like any good parent, she probably thought it couldn’t get worse, until her daughter announced her engagement to Charles Manson.

To be fair, the suspect apparently didn’t think he would get the job, but word has it people in the office told him to take a stab at it.

You know what’s really stupid? Relying on the “stupidity of the American voter” to get Obamacare passed and then telling American voters about it.
