Texas Republican Lt. Governor Dan Patrick is so cocky and full of himself that he’s not sure you’re even real.

Dan Patrick

By the way, Patrick is his stage name from his days as a wanna-be Rush Limbaugh on Houston talk radio.  His real name is Daniel Scott Goeb.  Nobody has any idea where he got the Patrick unless it’s after St. Patrick, but that wouldn’t be right because Dan Patrick is responsible for more snakes in state government than St. Patrick ran out of Ireland.

Anyway, Dan is real upset.  He is sashaying himself to Fort Worth tonight to speak to the school board.  Do you think he’s going to speak about why he cut $5 billion from Texas schools?  No, siree, he’s not.

He’s gonna talk about peeing.

Fort Worth Independent School District [Superintendent] Kent Scribner is not backing down from putting in place new rules that accommodate transgender students, telling the Fort Worth Star-Telegram he would not step down after Lt. Gov. Dan Patrick called for his ouster.

“I’m proud of these guidelines,” Scribner told the paper on Tuesday. “I think they provide educators with the ability to make all students more comfortable and confident in a learning environment.

First, Patrick called on Scribner to resign because … well, hating people who are different is one of the things that Texas schools need to teach, obviously.  When Scribner refused to resign, Patrick is now calling for his ouster.

Secondly, you know all that talk from Patrick about local control being dandy?  Come to find out, local control means “only the Lt. Governor.”

The school board is standing behind the superintendent.  The school board president says —

“We have enormous confidence in Superintendent Kent P. Scribner, his team, and our Board,” he said. “We are focused on creating a strong, safe, and productive learning environment for all students.”

Well now there’s a unique idea.  So, we don’t have schools just so Lt. Governors can grandstand about where urine goes?

I hope they ask him what he did with the $5 billion he seized from education.  Or piss on him.  You know, either one would be fine with me.
