Topic: Texas Politics
Kinky Friedman, that lovable Jewish cowboy/singer with the maverick political sense and strong support base, received 169,574 signatures (one of them, proudly, is ours - ed.) to get his name on the 2006 ballet for Governor of the State of Texas. An independent candidate needs only 45,540 to run, so even with the comptrollers counting them up, he's in and ready to go.Says Kinky:
"All I can say is, thank God for bars and dance halls."
So now it's time to ramp up that fan base. Because of this moment, we're going to put another sticker on our car when we get home. Because nothing says "Vote for This Dude" more than an ancient, high-mileage speeding white Volvo with death metal screaming out the windows.
