Texas Agriculture Commissioner Sid Miller wakes up every morning and wonders, “What can I do today to piss off the entire Texas hairdressing community?”

His choice today was this:

At a cost of $91,000, Ole Sid has decided to increase the font size of his name on every damn gas pump in Texas.  Every damn one of them.  Hell, that’s better advertising than every neon Lone Star Beer sign in every honky tonk in Lampasas.

And even though Ole Sid asked for a $50 million dollar budget increase for his office,  which was promptly denied by the legislature, he wants the taxpayers to know that you cannot blame him for taxes.  He wants people to know that he doesn’t set taxes, the Congress and the State Legislature do because the people are stoopid.

You know what would have been better on the gas pump sign?  This thing nobody bothered to tell me until about 6 months ago:

Thanks to Big Mike for the heads up.
