Hello and welcome to Mattelia's Confuses, Mattelia, aka MDsor, and hi.

Last week's episode I talked about 90s music the entire time, and I didn't mean to do that, but truth is there was much to cover, and there is even more to cover.

So I might touch a little 90s music even in this episode, but I'm going to get to some of the shit I wanted to get to last week.

Last week, everything's better now, and I mentioned it at the beginning of the episode, but there was that crazy storm across the country in many pockets, but particularly in Texas, the snowstorms fucked up everything.

It totally fucked the grid of Texas, and power was out, running water was off, fucking the craziest imagery was coming out of there.

Eicycles hang from ceiling fans, people burning clothes to stay warm, some people died from trying to keep warm but doing it in the fucking dumb ass way, like running their car to get heat to generate heat and dying of carbon monoxide.

They don't do that, but understandably when someone is fucking freezing the death, they become desperate, probably aren't thinking that straight.

Anyway, the thought has begun, and while it was happening, a lot of leaders in Texas were under fire for mismanaging the situation, and the one that caught the most heat, even though Governor Greg Abbott was trying to say it happened because the Green New Deal or something.

There were a lot of missteps and dumb things that were said and done, but the thing that sort of caught the attention of really everyone was when Ted Cruz was the senator, senator, senator.

What's up with, if you say any word enough times, you'll start to be like, is that the word?

It doesn't matter what the word is.

Senator Ted Cruz, Republican Senator Ted Cruz of Texas, was caught, spotted, I should say, on camera, despite his mask, people could still tell it was Ted Cruz because of his hair and body.

He was with his family, and he had a bunch of fucking suitcases, and he's clearly going on a vacation, and his destination was canned.

Now, if you were in Texas during all that, and you had money and time, and the ability to go, to flee, I would say normally that's a good thing.

But when you're the senator, when you're someone of import, ostensibly, whose job is ostensibly to help the people of Texas, if that person flees, then obviously it's a fucking bad look.

And the guy got so dragged for it, and as well as things where it was like, even he was like it was a mistake, he at first it was the dumbest, he's the dumbest fuck ever.

There's no one I like less than Ted Cruz.

A dumb is the wrong word, he's smart, but he's like a little weasel fucker.

He would just like stab his wife and kids in their necks while making eye contact with them, if it was a guarantee that after doing that he would be president.

That's what's up with Ted Cruz.

But anyway, he's fucking fled with his family to sunny cancun, while there was a state of emergency in his state, while millions of people didn't have power or running water, many of which were just straight up freezing, and he took his family to cancun.

He at first he had some fucking excuse, like my daughter wanted to go on a vacation and I offered to take her down there.
