Where in the World Is Ted Cruz?

Just two days ago - on Tuesday - 89-year-old Texas resident and news legend Dan Rather tweeted that he and his wife were without electricity at their Austin home, but were more fortunate than some because they still had running water.  Rather knew that the water pipes of many Texans were frozen and many would break by the time they thawed - and some households would then face flooding issues.  Yesterday Rather was still cranked-up and tweeting:

"Apparently America can put a man on the moon but Texas can't keep the lights on.  Houston, we have a problem."

I haven't heard any updates on the personal situation facing Dan Rather and his wife, but it looks as though they are surviving and Mr. Rather is still managing to maintain his sense of humor.   After social media lit up this morning with stories - and photos - of Texas Senator Ted Cruz and his wife, Heidi, flying south for a resort vacation in Cancun, Mexico, Dan Rather posted this gem on Twitter:

"There's an old Texas saying: When the going gets tough, the tough go to Cancun. (No, there actually is no such saying)." 

Many years ago I had to good fortune to visit Cancun in February.  It was warm and lovely. 

America's premier fact-checkers, snopes.com, hasn't weighed in yet on the veracity of the claim that Ted and Heidi Cruz are in Cancun, but if he isn't there, no one seems to know where he is.  However, the location of Cruz's 2018 senate challenger, Beto O'Rourke, is known.   Beto is in his hometown of El Paso, Texas, where he is working diligently to connect people with warming centers.

Beto is out on the streets saving lives - and Ted isn't.

'Nuff said.
