Texas Lt. Gov. Dan Patrick is back on his idea that some old people need to die to protect democracy.

His theory goes like this: if we reopen government, sure, old people will get this Covid Crap and die.  But, everybody else will thrive and we’ve saved democracy for our grandchildren. After all, it’s the least old people can do.

Okay, okay, I know that contrary to what we first heard, we have discovered that Covid-19 kills all age groups and it’s not just old people.  Dan’s brain has a lag time of about 30 days, okay, maybe 60 days.  The man, after all, is 70 years old so it takes a while to get things in his brain to do an oopsy.

For a while now Patrick has preached that the lockdown was unnecessary in Texas because we’ve only had 500 deaths because … ta da! … we locked down early.  So, we should lift the lock because it’s working.

Patrick said Monday that there are “more important things than living.” And that, he said, includes making sure the country is saved for his children and grandchildren.

Okay, for the second time because he didn’t hear me the first time, Dan Patrick should set a shining example for all the rest of us and give it up for my bank account.

You first, Dan.
