I Wish I Could Laugh...

OK. Susan Combs is running for Texas State Comptroller, to replace Carole Keeton Rylander.

She's -currently- Texas Agriculture Commissioner. As Ag Commissioner, she enacted policies which effectively prohibited parents giving sodas to their kids for lunches (if a kid has a Coke at lunchtime and an inspector sees it, the school district risks losing ALL funds from the state for the year- retroactively), restricting or banning snack bars (returning kids to the one-choice-or-go-hungry lunch line of foul food), and outlawing frying in school cafeterias (costing school districts millions of dollars to replace cafeteria equipment). Although these changes cost schools MASSIVE amounts of money, she's campaigning claiming to have PROVIDED millions of bucks to schools as Ag Commissioner.

I refer to Combs as chief of Texas' Fat Police.

I bring this up because of this comic. It's coming. It's on the way. Don't laugh -too- hard...
