And Happy Holidays To You, Too, Sid
Regular customers know that Sid Miller, Texas Agriculture Commissioner, is the guy who took the culture out of agriculture.
In honor of the holiday season, he posted this on Facebook.
My friends are kinda taking after him in the nicest possible way, they same you would with a child who just said something very stoopid.

Thanks to everybody for the heads up.
Everything is bigger in Texas. Well, maybe a few exceptions such as the IQ of some politicians.
1Now we know that he is willing to use violence and break the law to force others to validate his religion. Is he ISIS trained or did he self-radicalize?
2And, of course, I went right to his Facebook page and wished him Happy Holidays…as should we all.
3I know it’s Grinchy of me, but I wish him Unhappy Holidays. And an Unmerry Christmas. Hope the New Year is a bust too.
And if he slaps me he gets a knee in the crotch. Threats work both ways, Sid.
4I will have to move, I think, I wished him Allah Akbar.
5Have to endorse all of the above. If Sid took off that big hat, would there be anything underneath it?
6Just like Jesus would have done, had the three wise men wished him and Mary and Joseph Happy Holidays. In the original Aramaic.
7I’m so tired of people posting on FB how they refuse to be “politically correct” and are going to wish people “Merry Christmas.” As if they were martyrs to a great cause. Who the hell cares how someone greets you at Christmas, they’re just trying to be friendly. Everything doesn’t have to be a fight.
8Linda Phipps, I’m not certain but I believe the phrase is “Allahu Akbar”, but hey, I could be wrong.
In any event, have a Happy Holiday.
9I don’t do Facebook so could someone please wish him a Happy Holidays from me?
Also a Mele Kalikimaka, Happy Kwanzaa & Happy Hanukkah because Republicans inspired me to feel extra diverse this year!
10My little bride and I discussed this years ago when my number one son didn’t know what to do when a kindergarten girl crushing on him at the time, breathlessly cooed “Happy Kwanzaa” to him. At the time my little bride instructed him, as she did each succeeding chile in turn, that when someone wishes you good cheer and etc even if you don’t understand the lingua franca you smile and reply “Thank you, you too!” Doesn’t cost you a penny and may in fact help on-lookers judge that you are less an a$$ than they might have thought.
11So…he was never a Bing Crosby fan?
12Unfortunately, Sid is completely ignorant of the Spirit of Christmas. Threatening violence and exasperation simply because someone does not say the exact words he requires actually refutes what the holiday is all about: Good will toward men (and women and kids). No good will coming from that son-of-a-gun. Bah! Humbug!
13when does he do his job for Texas
14But if I went to his Facebook page, I’d have to be nice. Instead, I’ll just quote part of my favorite Christmas cartoons:
“You’re a mean one, Mr. Grinch
15You really are a heel,
You’re as cuddly as a cactus, you’re as charming as an eel, Mr. Grinch. . .”
Bo … so he’s going to know the difference? If I didn’t he sure would not.
16This is what I left on ole Sid’s FB page:
Bless your heart, Sid … you are just a super special kind of stupid, Sid. Happy Holidays, you moron!!
Lots and lots of folks are wishing ole Sid all kinds of greetings!
17Marcia in CO your comment reminds me of this: “Our world is made up of electrons, protons and neutrons. The snacibupeR world revolves mostly around morons.”
As for Sid, I’d supply every restaurant, store and anyplace he’s likely to frequent with his picture and on the back I’d list EVERY appropriate seasonal greeting. Clerk spots that mug, then turns it over and reads him the entire list while he waits for his change. About the third time that happens, old Sid will be ready to slap himself silly.
18Facebook post – done!
And I appropriated something from another post while I was at it.
“Axial tilt is the reason for the season.”
Happy Sciencey Holidays!
19Fine, Sid. I have nothing to say to you.
To everyone else, embrace the spirit of the season as it suits you. Happy Holidays.
20Wooeee! Over 2000 comments on Facebook so far. Majority that I scrolled thru were against but he got 999 likes … and Jesus wept.
21Happy Holidays everyone!
Poor ignernt Sid don’t know his history. It is very likely that the “Merry” in Merry Christmas came from the Christmas orgies that devolved in the celebrations of the Mass of Christ. The celebrations that the Pilgrims so disdained that they forbid celebrations of Christmas in the new world. Geesh Sid, how about paying attention in history class.
22Hm. Check your undies for Sid marks . . .
23Hallmark tv channels are running x-mas movies and have been for over a month and will continue until after x-mas,again. If I hear one person say Miracle on 34th Street again,The world is gonna ‘spode!
24Leave us not forget Festivus, for the Rest of Us. This man looks like such a dick that I would cross the street to avoid him.
25I said HAPPY Christmas to someone a few years ago and they darn near jumped down my throat.
*It’s MERRRY Christmas, not Happy,* she said.
What is the point of such nonsense ?
Feliz Navadad , y’all!

The ironic thing is that insisting people say “Merry Christmas” instead of “Happy Holidays” is a lot like the sort of political correctness conservatives claim to hate.
27If you’re not on Facebook but you’d like to annoy him, he’s on Twitter as @MillerForTexas.
I’m busy counting characters to see if I can be as annoying as I want to be. Aha. This will fit: “Happy Holidays! (I say Merry Christmas only to Christians. Your hate-filled comments disqualify you.) Peace & love.”
Now I have to wait a few minutes to see if this is approved by a higher authority. (C’mon, c’mon, let me…you know he deserves it. Yes, of course I’m baiting him. Well, yeah, that is tempting him to say something else stupid, but he’s going to say something stupid anyway, so it’s not really my fault…)
“On your own head be it” is really permission, right? Right? And I can always repent at leisure, right? Because I don’t have any leisure so it’ll be a long time before I have to repent, anyway…
Counting to thirty didn’t stop me.
