Green eggs and ham in the senate?

A couple days ago the house voted on a bill that they must pass every so often. This bill, in layman terms, funds the government. It takes part of our budget and puts it toward the government. As a very necessary bill to pass, it usually goes through without to much trouble. However, this time, republicans stuck in a clause that would defund Obamacare, (The affordable care act), a controversial issue. If the bill is not passed, the GOP will be enough to sustain the government until December. All of this is a major problem, and a point to count on another time, as information develops. However, something funny rose out of this. Ted Cruz, (R) from Texas filibustered for 21 hours, in an attempt to help defund Obamacare. For those who don't know, a filibuster is when a representative stands speaks in front of the house or senate, for a very, very long time. This is usually to prevent a bill from being passed. This is the opposite here, but again, another time. Anyway, Ted Cruz filibustered all through the night, and part of his rambling was in fact, reading Dr. Suess' "Green eggs and ham", to his children on the senate floor! Now I've heard stories about Congress, crazy filibusters and so forth. But none as random as this. Nothing as odd and cooky and such a weird thought. To read a children's book, in front of 99 other politicians, senators, during a serious debate on the situation our government will be in come December, was hysterical
