Texas Freedom Blisters?

Jeff Tiedrich
Mar 8

As another stupid week comes to a close here in America, let’s look back at some of the dumbest fucking shit that happened.

Right now, West Texas is struggling to contain the nation’s worst outbreak of measles in decades. let’s check in on state officials and see how they’re handling the situation.

While Texas grapples with its worst measles outbreak in decades, its Republican lieutenant governor, Dan Patrick, has moved for the state’s restaurants and groceries to change the name of the “New York strip” steak cut to the “Texas strip” in what he evidently hopes is a blow to liberals.

- way to focus on what’s important, Danny-boy. yeah, that’ll work. that’ll really show measles who’s boss around here.

while we’re at it, why don’t we rename measles to Texas Freedom Blisters?

The "Texas strip" bullshit is one of the least stupid, least obnoxious, least dangerous proposals Dan Patrick has made, in decades.

I know whereof I speak. I've been following Danny (Goeb) Patrick's brain-dead theatrics for all-too-many years.
