Question of the day

Posted in:

• Illinois

* As I’ve told you before, my brother Doug is an alternate Texas delegate to the Republican National Convention. From his Twitter feed…

Went by and saw some of the the Illinois Delegates. When I mentioned to one who my brother was, he stated: Can you drink like him? Classic

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.

4. 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.”

   lol

5. 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.

6. 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.

7. 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.

8. “Simply put, many Hispanics and African
   Americans who voted in the last election will, because of the burdens imposed by SB 14, likely
   be unable to vote in the next election. This is retrogression.” STATE OF TEXAS v. HOLDER http://goo.gl/vGjn6

    Comment by Yellow Dog Democrat Thursday, Aug 30, 12 @ 2:30 pm

26. 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!

    Comment by Rich Miller Sr Thursday, Aug 30, 12 @ 2:47 pm

37. 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.

    Comment by wordslinger Thursday, Aug 30, 12 @ 10:54 pm

38. 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.

39. Artist’s concept of Rich Miller after a style intervention. He cleans up real well!

40. ==It was epic surreal political theater and a huge waste of tv time for the RNC.==
    Isn’t that what political conventions are, theater? Mr. Eastwood’s performance was modern TV at its best.
