Question of the day
Thursday, Aug 30, 2012 - Posted by Rich Miller * As I’ve told you before, my brother Doug is an alternate Texas delegate to the Republican National Convention. From his Twitter feed…
Oh, funny. Like a clown funny. He amuses me. He makes me laugh. * A photo Doug tweeted of himself on the convention floor…  * The Question: Caption? And, please, try to be somewhat gentle. Doug is my brother, after all.

Cicni: They can’t be topped. Classic.

Doug spoke at my birthday roast. He did a fantastic job. But fellow roaster Paul Green had a great line: “When Rich’s brother leaves Illinois and goes back to Texas, the average IQ of both states will rise.”

What do Texans dream of, when they take a little Texas snooze.
Do they dream of mauling Ohio, or Indiana in her Alabama “suit”.
Don’t you worry your pretty cowboy head we’re gonna get you back to Texas and your cozy Texas bed.
And then we’re gonna find our bestfriend Doug and then we’re gonna give him a bestfriend hug.
Doug, Doug, Oh, Doug Douggie Douggie Doug Doug.
But if he’s been captured by Illinois delegate tweekers, well then he’s (bleep) out of luck.

Hi, I’m Doug, Rich’s brother. Be gentle with Rich, he’s my brother after all and more importantly, he’s not a Republican. If only he had listened to me more growing up he could be here too.

Meet the newest member of Bob Wills and the Texas Playboys:
“You can hear the Grand Ol’ Opry in Nashville Tennessee
It’s the home of country music,on that we all agree
But when you cross that ol’ Red River hoss that just don’t mean a thing
Cause’ once you’re down in Texas, Bob Wills is still the king”
Hope he’s flying home. Driving the Gulf Coast looks a little dodgy about now.

I saw miles and miles of Texas all the stars up in the sky
I saw miles and miles of Texas gonna live here till I die
I started tamin’ bronko’s I made every rodeo
Until I met a tuff one you know his name was devil joe
I grabb’d hold of his bridle just to ride this ol’ outlaw
He threw me from the saddle and this is what I saw
I saw miles and miles of Texas all the stars up in the sky
I saw miles and miles of Texas gonna live here till I die

All hat and no cattle.

Or single women.
Or PhD’s.

The smart good looking Miller from the state with low taxes and a balanced budget.

The brother Rich sometimes vexes lives in Texas

I can’t remember ever agreeing with Cincy, but The Captain called it. Cincy wins hands down, close the voting.

- Small Town Liberal - Thursday, Aug 30, 12 @ 1:42 pm:
Thankfully Doug was able to find someone from Illinois that could figure out how to use the “picture machine” they brought to the convention.
- N'ville - Thursday, Aug 30, 12 @ 1:44 pm:
Proof that Millers actually DO have chins.

Devin is the talented one, Doug is obviously the smart one………what’s left

I thought they outlawed “critical thinking” in Texas.
- Rich's Mom - Thursday, Aug 30, 12 @ 2:25 pm:
We have 5 boys….all different , but all wonderful sons. We love each one of them and are proud of them all for what they have accomplished in life.
- Yellow Dog Democrat - Thursday, Aug 30, 12 @ 2:30 pm:
@Rich’s Mom -
That includes the adopted garden gnome, right?
:D
Glad you could all make it to Rich’s birthday party. Hope there’s an encore next year.
- Rich Miller Sr - Thursday, Aug 30, 12 @ 2:47 pm:
Doug is the most politically sensible son, after all he wore the Goldwater-Miller button to Tampa! They were all required to recite the Candidates by year, by party, to include the VP’s (Richard missed Estes Kefauver more than once. We are proud of all five!
- just sayin' - Thursday, Aug 30, 12 @ 3:28 pm:
No caption, just an observation that TX is always the coolest and most enthused delegation at every RNC.
- nonMeNick - Thursday, Aug 30, 12 @ 3:33 pm:
Durn. I come to see the rodeo and all I get to see is this Bullcrap!
- Wensicia - Thursday, Aug 30, 12 @ 4:16 pm:
The way they’re all dressed alike, I thought he was part of the Olympic team, their sport being political snark.

So, it appears your brother got all the brains in the family.
- Arthur Andersen - Thursday, Aug 30, 12 @ 6:12 pm:
My brother went to the RNC in Tampa and all I got was a lousy cowboy hat.
- Bigtwitch - Thursday, Aug 30, 12 @ 8:10 pm:
All hat, no beer.
- Darian - Thursday, Aug 30, 12 @ 10:35 pm:
Don’t tell anyone… but we actually have jobs available in Texas unlike you Yankee idiots that voted for Obama.
- wordslinger - Thursday, Aug 30, 12 @ 10:54 pm:
Darlan, it doesn’t take a genius to make a buck on $95 a barrel. Just a hole in the ground.
But glad you’re better off than you were four years ago.
- amalia - Friday, Aug 31, 12 @ 7:54 am:
please, please ask him what the what was going on when Clint Eastwood “spoke.” Clint was like the cranky white old uncle on some bad wine who is going on about how he hates the mayor of a town. It was epic surreal political theater and a huge waste of tv time for the RNC.
- Hawkeye - Friday, Aug 31, 12 @ 9:03 am:
Artist’s concept of Rich Miller after a style intervention. He cleans up real well!

Isn’t that what political conventions are, theater? Mr. Eastwood’s performance was modern TV at its best.
