Jeff Tiedrich - this week in stupid: March 8 edition

as another stupid week comes to a close here in America, let’s look back at the dumbest fucking shit that happened.

monday: a disease by any other name

right now, West Texas is struggling to contain the nation’s worst outbreak of measles in decades. let’s check in on state officials and see how they’re handling the situation.

While Texas grapples with its worst measles outbreak in decades, its Republican lieutenant governor, Dan Patrick, has moved for the state’s restaurants and groceries to change the name of the “New York strip” steak cut to the “Texas strip” in what he evidently hopes is a blow to liberals.

way to focus on what’s important, Danny-boy. yeah, that’ll work. that’ll really show measles who’s boss around here.

fuck you, infectious disease, I’m eating a Texas Strip Steak. yee-haw! yeeeeeee-haw!

while we’re at it, why don’t we rename measles to Texas Freedom Blisters?
