Heh - I think we’ve finally got an American Monster Raving Loony Party - even if it’s a one-man show at the moment. Official motto seems to be:
“Kinky Friedman
Why the Hell Not?”
Hat tip to pandora.com, which played a song by the gent referenced above, prompting me to remember a few of years ago when he was doing some very amusing guest-blogging for someone (Brian Linse, IIRC), which led to me doing some googling… which led to me chuckling some more and posting this.
One of Kinky’s biggest supporters is a regular attendee at my gym in Galveston.
Kinky and Carole Strayhorn ("One Tough Grandma” Republican turned Independent) are going a long way to making a big joke out of Texas gubernatorial politics, most ably aided and abetted by the Dems and Reps.
As the governorship in Texas is rather weak, the Lieutenant Governor race is the one to watch. Can’t remember who is running, though. Blech!
