Kinky Friedman: On the Ballot
Today, the results are officially in: Kinky Friedman will be on the ballot for Governor of Texas in November. An independent, much less a liberal-leaning independent, has about as much chance of winning the governorship in Texas as George Bush has at scoring (legitimately, at least) above 80 on a standard IQ test. But I'm glad Friedman is on the ballot...both the Republicans and the Democrats can now make their snide remarks, but I know they are worried that he and the other independent who will be on the ballot, Carol Strayhorn, will be spoilers. Nothing bad can come of a spoiled Texas election...not any worse that an unspoiled Texas election.
