“While Texas grapples with its worst measles outbreak in decades, its Republican lieutenant governor 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.
And, perhaps anticipating reproval for his choice to focus at least some of his attention on renaming meat after a child in his state became the first person in the US to die from measles in a decade, Patrick’s statement said: “In a world filled with serious issues that address every day at the Texas capitol, this simple resolution will help better market Texas beef.”
.
Unvaccinated people are at risk…. so he wants to rename a steak?
This only makes sense in Texas.
🥴

My first thought would be that taking off that tape would hurt like hell, but then I realized that getting every corner of their bodies waxed is part and parcel of their job. It’s probably like a part time job, in fact. So, no biggie, I guess. As for the steak, doesn’t he realize that in this day and age, half of America will boycott the rebranded beef (and the other half will make sure to buy extra, so it will probably come out in the wash financially while also serving to divide the country by another little bit). What a tool.

The steak is actually a Kansas City Strip, but no one seemed to care when NY stole the name. The tape kinda makes me cringe.

I read that that original cut was once known as a “Kansas City” _ I’ve heard a steak referred to by that name in some old movies.

As for the last story as a Texan, a sane person with common sense, personal morals and ethics this DOES NOT MAKE SENSE to this Texan. Our entire state government is a huge, stinking shit show! How someone can think of something so stupid as to rename a piece of meat while a dangerous measles outbreak is going on is beyond me and the height of stupidity. There you have it, words from a Texan on the State of Texas and the morons who are running our state right into the ground! Now I’m going to go have my coffee and maybe contemplate going back to bed until these four years are over 😤

It would surprise you just how blue Texas really is, it’s the rural voters that makes us red. Cities like Dallas, Houston and San Antonio are blue.

And I thought waxing mustaches was weird enough.
Who knew I could get people to watch me unclog a drain? That’s what I get for giving up plumbing before the Age of YouTube. (Actually, I once cleared the drain in a mortuary during a big storm. Storm and sanitary sewers were on the same system so effluent was running into the gutter. A street crew sat in their truck while I cleared it. They were afraid body parts were going to wash into the street as I worked so they wouldn’t leave the truck.)
Maybe we could rename the disease Texas measles. I mean, we already have German measles.

Body parts floating down Main Street would keep me in my truck too.
And yes, I think Texas Measles is fitting.

But there were no, and would be no, body parts floating down the street. It’s not like mortuaries flush your parts down the toilet. I’ll spare you the details, but I thought it was funny that these big burly guys were so scared and little ol’ me was there to rescue them so they could get on with their work.
