Yo! New York Times!
This morning the New York Times went all gushy over how much money Ted Cruz has raised in his quest to be taken seriously.
Ted Cruz is the best financed candidate in the Republican race, beginning February with $13.6 million in cash on hand.
Well, maybe not.
What you see linked up there is seventy-eight pages of illegal, excessive or impermissible contributions. Seventy-eight pages. It bonkers the brain. One of my personal favorites is Ms. Fern Fred Love, who gives Ted money every time she changes her shoes.
Go see if any of your friends are listed!
Thanks to Alfredo over at the Dairy Queen for the heads up.
Someone needs to contact her Grandchildren – she’s confused – she’s thinking she’s putting down money for a Cruise.
1David Dewhurst gave money to Cruz for President!
2Mrs. Fern Fred Love! Such a perfect name for a SNL character.
3Here’s the link to the Dewhurst max donation:

Since “Mrs. Fern Fred Love” does sound like such a perfectly SNL character its just gotta be an alias.
5Once again, we want to go all gushy about our hero Alfredo Over At The Dairy Queen! You’ve got to get up pretty early in the morning to even TRY to get anything past his sharp eyes, diligent research, and prowess with the old xlsx spreadsheets! Way. To. To.!!!!!!

Fascinating.
Could Alfredo explain those negative amounts–between flipping burgers and dipping hot fudge cones–and also what the limits are on individual donations?
I’ll leave a tip for him in the form of a contribution to Bubba’s campaign.
8Hell, Barb, I can do that and I don’t even flip burgers. Those are refunds.
And thank you for the very generous contribution. You just bought some yard signs.
9He can have all the money he can and spend it as he can, but he nor any rePUKEian will get my vote. The only way more money helps this dimwit is thru his ability to reach out to more bigoted hate filled aholes and convince them to vote.
10Pancho Sanza, you nearly succeeded in confusing me this morning. But, I managed the confusion on my own. Had David Dewhurst mixed up in my mind with Robert Durst. Oh wth, alleged serial killer and sleazy politician; that is what as known as an honest mistake.
Tom, second your kudos to Alfredo and his skills!
Congratulations, Barb! Nothing says love like walking into the donation wall before breakfast!

One need not worry so much about Bobby Durst. The DoJ has made long term reservations for him, including one way transportation to Cali. At 72 he agreed to an 85 month incarceration, which will take him to his 80th birthday. If Cali prosecutors choose to crank up the Berman murder trial he may slide into eternity a convicted murderer as well. Worry not a whit aboot ole Bobby! His fate is fairly well sealed.
12I would send Cruz a dozen frozen urine balls to match his personality.
13According to today’s WaPo, Bush blew through $96M bucks! These guys can just keep on spending that snacilbupeR money for all I care. By October they might be holding bake sales.
14what do contributers do if the supremes rule ted can’t run ????
15Well don’t that beat all. I sure do learn something new everyday from this edifying group. I have never in my life heard of frozen urine balls, bud malone, but now I am the better for knowing that something like that could be catapulted onto Oozy Cruz. Just imagining him dripping and stinking at the podium has made my day.
16maryelle, “Just imagining him dripping and stinking at the podium has made my day.” No imagination required. That’s Loathsome Ted anytime he is behind a microphone; no urine balls necessary.
17Alias? Ms Fern Fred swears she ain’t no stinking Messican or Muslin terrorist. Pure,100% nutjob ‘murrican.
18PKM, even worse on a hot day.
19@micr, hope you are right about Bob Durst being locked up for a good long time. He is beyond creepy, and I still can’t drive past that CVS on Kirby without remembering that he peed on the candy display there. Ewwwww.
20Not sure I want to know. Bless her heart. Wait till her kids look through her check stubs. “MAAA! WHAT IS ALL THIS MONEY GOING TO CRUZ FOR?”
21@Jill Ann
I have a similar creepy every time I drive by a certain entrance ramp on US 75 in Richardson. A couple of bank robbers engaged a Richardson officer with whom I am acquainted, there several years ago with high powered rifles. His patrol car was totaled by their gunfire. He was not hit but the outcome of the incident could have been very different. Creepy indeed.
Bobby Durst will most likely die incarcerated in Cali.
