You Can’t Trust Those Texas Republican Sumbitches
Okay, so Texas has a new Agriculture Commissioner by the name of Sid Miller. Ole Sid is a stinker. I’ve talked about him plenty before now.
Sid is real conservative. With his money. With your money, not so much. First thing he did after talking office was to hire all his totally unqualified friends to work for the State of Texas at six-figure salaries.
He’s got a reputation for being crazybutt all over. Yeah, it started at his butt and then it spread over his whole body.
Sid went to Oklahoma to get something called a Jesus-shot and billed the State of Texas for it.
Miller, a former rodeo cowboy who suffers from chronic pain, told the Houston Chronicle earlier this year he has received the “Jesus Shot,” a controversial but legal medication administered only by a single Oklahoma City-area doctor who claims that it takes away all pain for life.
Miller declined to confirm or deny whether he received the injection during the February 2015 trip.
Well, now he’s having to confirm it. It seems his explanation fell apart like a cheap suitcase at the bus station.
He says it was a state business trip to tour the Oklahoma stockyards. The tour never happened.
Ole Sid showed up unexpectedly at the Oklahoma State Capitol to get his picture taken but the stockyard tour thing did not go too well.
After being told last week that the Oklahoma agriculture department had said that he requested the meeting and did not show, Miller said his memory had been “jogged.”
“You’re correct,” he said, explaining that he proposed the meeting with the Oklahoma official because the two did not get enough time to talk at the conference earlier that week. He did fail to make the meeting, he acknowledged, but only because he and his aide had accidentally gone to the wrong place.
You know how there’s Three Stooges? Sid is all three wrapped into one.
He’s decided to pay back the money because … “an abundance of caution.” Caution? Abundance? Does he know what those words mean?
Jesus-shot? I guess you’re wondering how a guy can make $300 for a Jesus-shot in Oklahoma.
The “Jesus Shot” is a legal medical procedure, according to the Oklahoma Medical Board. It apparently was created 33 years ago by John Michael Lonergan, who goes by “Dr. Mike.”
Lonergan moved to Oklahoma a decade ago after losing his Ohio medical license when he was convicted of felony tax evasion, records show.
The “Jesus Shot” costs about $300 and includes Dexamethasone, Kenalog and B12, which have each been approved to treat inflammation, according to Dr. Mary Schrick of Full Circle Integrated Health in Edmond, Okla., which used to host Lonergan’s practice.
Reached at the Priceless Beauty Spa in Kingfisher, Oklahoma, where he works on Thursday mornings, Lonergan declined to comment.
Apparently, the Priceless Beauty Spa doesn’t have the same high standards that The World’s Most Dangerous Beauty Salon, Inc. has.
Thanks to Fred Farklestone for the heads up.
So he got a shot a year ago that was supposed to take away all pain for life. But today he’s still a pain in the ass.
1This “elected official” – and tell me again, as an interested outside observer – where do you get these people? – just radiates the particular unctuousness that screams “I got mine and screw you.” Not to mention, besides cheating you Texas taxpayers regularly, he is too dumb to understand that this “medical procedure” is wholly something from the The Man Behind the Curtain Medical School. Well, if this is a shot that is given “posterially” the provider at least had a massive area to work in. Of that I have no doubt.
2I lived in Houston, TX for 16 months in the middle of the 1970s. It was horribly humid, unfriendly to pedestrians, and the palmetto bugs (flying cockroaches) were much larger than they are in NYC. However, the politicians weren’t all crazy right-wingers back then. Turn Texas blue, JJ. The sooner, the better.
3The really scary thing about Sid Miller is not that he is costing the taxpayers of Texas a lot of money (that’s typical for the “conservative” Repugnants here), it’s that he will probably be re-elected when his term is up. Ole Sid is stupid, silly and should be run out of the state. It would take a book to write a list of all the stupid things he has said and done in a very short time.
All you patrons of TWMDBS who live in foreign states, please pray for us in Texas.
4I would dearly love to pay $300, or even $3000, for a shot that would eliminate all my back and knee pain for life, but I have studied science and I know that such a shot is a load of horsehockey.
And any Texas politician with that grin and that hat is also a load of horsehockey. And even more expensive for the citizens of Texas. Everybody gets what the majority of voters deserve (except when gerrymandered, when it’s not the majority picking them).
5Oh I don’t know, Sid can be of comfort to some people.
6I just sent Sid an email offering my Jesus ‘pet’ Rocks and Jesus In A Bottle (don’t ask) as a Texas lawmaker special for $500 a pop. Autographed Jesus rocks for only $1000 an once.
A single dose of cyanide would relieve all pain better,quicker and for far longer,and is prolly cheaper.
7Now if there were just a shot that would cure stupidity.
8LynnN, once again you have gotten to the crux of the matter.
9If there’s a Jesus shot, why can’t there be a Doofus shot?
Heck, we could take up a collection and provide them for free.
Gohmert would have to go first.
Shots? Let them self medicate and compete for a Darwin Award with one shot.
10So I take it Dr. Mike was a classmate at the Hollywood Upstairs Medical College with Dr. Nick Riviera?
11Sid’s hat is too small and squeezes his tiny brain.
12Priceless Beauty Spa? Well, that destroys all sorts of deniability! Including plausible!
Sorry. Still laughing.
13To June:
14Oh no, no no! DO NOT run him out of the state! Far too many of the folks who get run out of Texas find their ways to Florida and we’ve got enough to worry about, believe me.
Why does ol’ Sid remind me of Foghorn Leghorn?
15“He did fail to make the meeting (Oklahoma stockyards), he acknowledged, but only because he and his aide had accidentally gone to the wrong place.”
Now that… I believe. A rodeo clown who can’t find the stockyards.
16With all those crooks you elect, you have to learn how to nail down anything that isn’t locked up.
17Sounds as though Ol’ Sid couldn’t find his own butt with both hands and a flashlight.
Why is it I suspect that he has tried.
18I’m thinking that Sid must have turned up at the wrong place and got the toxic tush injection instead.
He’s a boil on the butt if there ever was one.
19I think I saw this guy at the WinStar Casino in Oklahoma. Have to be him, strutting like a rooster with that hat and pointed boots,lmao! Hard to believe he’s in pain.
20Crazy Quilter @15 “Why does ol’ Sid remind me of Foghorn Leghorn?” — I knew Sid “Cupcake” Miller reminded me of something!
Also, thanks to everyone for all the good words about the “situation” we find ourselves “blessed” with here in Texas. Let’s see if Amazon sells Jesus shots for Chronic StOOpid – we need a whole truckload full to take care of our top officials and the entire legislature.
After Dubya and pRick Perry, and now gov. A-Butt, lt. gov. “the don” Patrick and corrupt atty. gen. Ken Paxton, a complete “extermination” and fumigation is in order. JJ, wonder if Tom DeLay is doing after hours jobs these days for extra pocket money? No, on second thought, let’s keep him far, far away from Austin. And by extermination, I mean a complete sweep at the next election. (Wishful thinkin’, I know!)
Donnie Drumpf says he has the “best words” – nope! They’re sure found here at JJ’s place… Keep ‘em comin’, everyone. Luv this site
21According to Oklahoma City’s News 9 website, the so-called doctor was convicted by the feds of not only tax evasion, but also mail fraud and healthcare fraud. In 2005, the State Medical Board of Ohio permanently revoked his medical license, bless his heart. Why are we not surprised? And why are we not surprised that the rodeo clown is throwing money at him?
22A clown indeed.
