With the quarter's fundraising details out now, it's interesting to poke through the contribution list, but perhaps even more interesting to look at expenditures. There's plenty of "what the heck?" to be found, in every sense of the phrase.

First, in the chuckling sense, we have Bill Richardson paying $31 to "Kum and Go" (who also donated $1000), Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama paying $5 and $4, respectively, to CheapTickets.com (what can you get for that?), Obama dropping $38 at "Sweet Mandy B's", and camp Clinton packing away $170 worth of pizza.

In the utter incomprehension sense of "wth?", both Obama and Clinton gave $65,000 to the New Hampshire Democratic Party, with Obama also giving $100,000 to the Iowa party. Is this to rent facilities and staff? Stranger still, Richardson gave $30,005 to Tom Vilsack's presidential committee, his third-largest expenditure. Do we now have an explanation if Vilsack drops out at the last minute to support Richardson?

Anyways, I'm sure there are plenty of other goodies in the list. Let me know what you find.
