And to think people get paid to come up with things like this...
John Zerwas is a candidate (1 of 7!) for Texas State House District 28… the district I live in.
He has now (finally!) put up a website. It’s really just a web-placeholder, really, but an interesting comment was made about the logo:
“Would you be more or less likely to vote for a candidate who has placed Texas crookedly on their official logo? Doesn't that just leave the door open for all sorts of jokes and innuendo?
Such as the fact that the Texas in this logo leans to the left, instead of to the right?”
When I found out he was running, I did a little check on the Federal Election Commission website and made the following comment on another blog:
“Zerwas is going to have to explain why he gave Ken Bentsen $500 in April 2000.
And why he gave $6000 to his American Society of Anesthesiologists PAC who has recently donated money to the likes of Harry Reid, Jeanne Shaheen, Max Baucus, David Bonior, Barbara Boxer, Carol Moseley Braun, etc.
I realize it might be politically expedient in one's profession to donate to their profession's PAC, but if I knew my money was going to the types of individuals named above, I would stop giving to that PAC.
Either you are a Republican and you support Republican causes, or you do not. In a conservative district like HD28, we don't take too kindly to those who like to “ride the fence.”
How about it, Dr. Zerwas? The voters of HD28 will not let this one slide by without a response...”
A left-leaning logo, huh? Hmm….

Zerwas also gave $200 to Democrat U.S. Rep. Craig Washington in 1990.
Craig is the guy that the downtown Houston business crowd considered to be so far to the left that they actually backed Sheila Jackson Lee against him as an improvement in 1994.
