Spooky Alert! Spooky Alert!

I mentioned recently that my 2004 book, The Religion War, featured a leader named Cruz rising in the United States and bringing a war of annihilation to the Caliphate. Now we have candidate Ted Cruz doing well in the polls and stating his intentions to annihilate ISIS. Obviously that is a coincidence, but a fun one.
But where I went wrong was the first name. My character in the book was named Horatio Cruz, not Ted Cruz.
Now watch this video of 18-year old Ted Cruz talking about wanting to play a character named Horatio. It happens in the first 30 seconds.
Yeah, spooky.
It’s still a coincidence, but a fun one.

I can’t stop laughing about Trump’s Iowa reframing. You probably heard about it. The setup goes like this:
- Trump was trailing Cruz in Iowa polls.
- Trump taunted an Iowa audience with “You have not picked a lot of winners.”
- The media reported Trump’s taunts.
And the very next poll showed Trump slightly atop Cruz once you factor in the less-likely-to-vote people who will definitely vote this time.
