Can anyone identify the font used for the words “TEXAS IS BIGGER THAN”?

> Texas is bigger than Massachusetts.

Pshaw!
They may be bigger, but according to Money.com Massachusetts is SMARTER!

That goes without saying - look where the president is from.

I’m assuming that was a campaign poster from the 2004 election…

But there are good things about Texas.
I didn’t run into any traffic at all while driving through the panhandle. Can’t say the same about Massachusetts… even a trip to buy milk will run you into a jam around here ;-(

Texas produced Norah Jones, which makes up for a lot.
: )
Btw, at Starbuck’s I noticed a CD called Little Willies. Which caught my attention because Willy is the British euphamism for male private parts. An inspection showed that Norah Jones is doing the vocals on this.

The source image (poster?) seems to be poking fun at itself, as if it’s really saying “What is wrong with Americans that they’ve turned the election of their President into a pissing contest?” Do you know where it came from/who made it?

You don’t run into ANYTHING AT ALL when you drive across Texas, it’s like being at sea.

unknown

It’s from here.

Anyways, thanks for the identification.

From the site it looks like the poster was in earnest…!? Hilarious, pathetic and maddening in turn.

The guy who made it is from Massachusetts, I believe…
