This seems to have legs, unlike his poor, frozen dog.

No clue if this story is real or not (smells BSy but who knows with him).  However it is great to know that Ted is the kind of guy who vacations in Cancun and owns a Bichon Frise.  

A picture taken by a reporter for New York Magazine on Thursday showed the pet poodle looking out of a window of Mr Cruz’s home in Houston, Texas, while the senator, his wife, and daughters were away.

 

Mr Cruz said he was trying to be a good father by taking his two young daughters out of the state in a written statement released after the short vacation was widely criticised on Thursday.

A security guard said he had been tasked with looking after the poodle while the family were away from the home — which appeared to have electricity restored on Thursday afternoon, according to the reporter.

Seriously, could Ted Cruz get more pathetic? 

Yes, he could be the governor of New York and order subordinates to suppress the death toll of nursing home residents to appear less ghoulish. 

:lol:

if it cost more than the company was worth to be prepared for an asteroid and you insisted on spending that kind of cash for it, you would also be fired

I don't arbitrarily receive budgetary constraints on co-lo services and the resources that go in them. That's part of the business continuity planning process that's done religiously every year by deadly serious people on leadership/steering committees who workshop outages and associate exact revenue loss numbers per second a particular application or infrastructure platform is not up.

Clearly, in the case of ERCOT and/or the power generation companies, those conversations never happened or the people involved in them aren't anywhere serious enough to be in any position to make informed decisions. Make no mistake, people will be fired for this. This was a failure of leadership on many fronts, including business continuity.

No, that's disgusting, evil, and abhorrent.

Ted Cruz is a sad pathetic excuse for a man who makes hapless decisions. That doesn't make him worse than many people who have done way worse.

I used to wonder if there was anything the msm could try to blow up that libs would look at and say "nah, that’s too petty, I’m just not that interested.” After seeing the reaction to Cancungate, I now know that answer is no. :lol:

Yeah, it isn't like he wore a tan suit or something.
