Vote for Kinky Friedman!

Kinky Friedman is running for Governor of Texas as an independent. I'm committed to supporting his candidacy, despite the fact that I think his candidacy is probably quixotic. I'm going to vote for him, though. Lots of reasons. First, I have to sign his petition to be on the ballot as an independent. It's hard to find an opportunity to sign in North Dallas. The redneck republicans in my neighborhood are probably not targets of the petition campaign. But, Friday night I will stop at the Flying Saucer, a bar in north Addison on my way home from work, to sign a petition...I am seriously a supporter and want him on the ballot. The republican canddidate is Rick Perry, the current idiot in office. I haven't a clue who the democrats have to offer...certainly not memorable. Kinky is fresh and independent. I've voted for unelectable candidates before, but this isn't one of those times. He has a chance, I think, because I truly believe...I hope...there are enough Texans who are not pure-bred stupid to realize that republicans are flat-out dangerous and democrats are simply too frightened to act. We need an independent voice, despite the fact that I don't agree with about half his viewpoints. Let's shake up Texas!
