Kinky Friedman Can Use "Kinky" on Gubernatorial Ballot; Other Chick Can't Use "Grandma"
Topic: Texas Politics

Maverick candidate for Texas Governor Kinky Friedman has won yet another battle to get his victory, as he will be listed as Richard "Kinky" Friedman on the November ballot. His other independent opponent, Carole Keeton Strayhorn, will not, however, be allowed to use the nickname "Grandma" on hers, even though we didn't even know anyone called her this.

So now that it's official, it's just a matter of time before the two Democrats split votes, people throw trash and old vegetables at current governor Rick Perry, "Grandma" breaks her hip and Kinky wins it all. Should be an interesting train wreck of some campaigning in the coming months. Bully for that.
