The Monitor is a peculiar little publication that’s hard for the world to figure out. And I’m going to argue that we change lives precisely because we force open that too-small box that most human beings think they live in. We’re the bran muffin of journalism.īut you know what? We change lives. We’re seen as being global, fair, insightful, and perhaps a bit too earnest. If you were to come up with a punchline to a joke about the Monitor, that would probably be it. Sometimes, we call things ‘boring’ simply because they lie outside the box we are currently in.” My work in Kenya, for example, was heavily influenced by a Christian Science Monitor article I had forced myself to read 10 years earlier. “Many things that end up” being meaningful, writes social scientist Joseph Grenny, “have come from conference workshops, articles, or online videos that began as a chore and ended with an insight. I’ll use my own server,” one of Cruz’s daughters reads aloud from the Hillary-Clinton-themed book “The Grinch Who Lost Her Emails.”Ībout a year ago, I happened upon this statement about the Monitor in the Harvard Business Review – under the charming heading of “do things that don’t interest you”: “I know just what I’ll do, she said with a snicker.
Some of Cruz’s “timeless Christmas classics” include, “How Obamacare Stole Christmas, “Rudolph the Underemployed Reindeer,” and “Frosty the Speaker of the House,” which takes a jab at former Speaker John Boehner.
But in the vein of SNL parody ads, each title is revised for a GOP chuckle. In the 90-second ad, Cruz is reading classic Christmas stories on the couch with his wife, Heidi, and two daughters. With the caption “Ted Cruz uses his children as political props,” the cartoon, drawn by Ann Telnaes, the paper’s editorial cartoonist, references a political ad the Cruz campaign aired during the holiday episode of Saturday Night Live last week. Caroline & Catherine are out of your league,” Cruz tweeted Tuesday. The Washington Post published, and then quickly retracted, a cartoon Tuesday depicting Republican presidential candidate Ted Cruz as Santa and his two daughters as compliant monkeys.
