<\/a>Having weathered the Zodiac rumor (although not the primaries), Ted Cruz is now ignoring a National Enquirer story that his father distributed pro-Castro pamphlets in New Orleans with Lee Harvey Oswald prior to John F. Kennedy\u2019s assassination. Readers wanting to refresh their memories of November 1963 can pick up a copy of \u201cParkland\u201d (formerly \u201cFour Days in November\u201d) by \u201cHelter Skelter\u201d author Vincent Bugliosi. With over 600 pages of analysis and citations, this should reveal whether or not Rafael Cruz ever hobnobbed with Kennedy\u2019s killer. Hint: \u201cCruz\u201d doesn\u2019t appear in the index.<\/p>\nSpeaking of things not appearing\u2026 in a campaign photo shot at Chili\u2019s restaurant, Republican vice presidential candidate Mike Pence\u2019s daughter Charlotte seemed to be absent from the mirror next to her family\u2019s booth, which reflected only her father and mother.<\/p>\n
Scholars of the supernatural know that vampires do not reflect in mirrors, so an alert was immediately sent out over the internet to protect good Americans from poor Charlotte. If you were unaware of this vampire quirk, consult \u201cA Practical Guide to Vampires\u201d by Treval Vorgard, a well-illustrated quick read that provides tips for identifying vampires and arming yourself against them. One fact in favor of Charlotte Pence\u2019s alleged humanity: vampires are repulsed by garlic, which is featured throughout Chili\u2019s menu.<\/p>\n

<\/a>The internet has been buzzing with the \u201crevelation\u201d that onetime Republican presidential candidate Ted Cruz was the 1960s serial murderer the Zodiac Killer. The root of the rumor seems to be Cruz\u2019s reputation as a \u201cwacko bird\u201d (per Senator John McCain) whose views place him outside the Republican mainstream.<\/p>\n
