So the right-wingers* are saying that Ted Cruz went to Concan

instead of Cancún. I suspect that floating in an inner-tube along the Frio River wasn't as fun after a winter snowstorm. At least Ted stayed in Texas if the rumor was true.

For those who believe in a Higher Power, praise him for not showing Cruz wearing only a pair of shorts while wading in the river.

I've seen a few pictures of his wife, and a couple of commercials with their children, but I would be hard-pressed to identify any of them in public. I expect that most Democrats would be unfamiliar with them also.

which is why I felt obligated to post it. Yes, I suspect Ted in leisure wear would gross out a lot of people.

Shame that it's being connected to Cruz in any way, even by mistake.
