Elvis, Gates and Kinky Friedman

Perhaps unable to go on after Elvis left the building, Bill Gates is stepping down at Microsoft, to devote more time to his charitable foundation. The foundation has donated $10.5 billion in 12 years of operation.

Meanwhile, Kinky Friedman continues to slap around the other candidates, proving that if he were to somehow get elected Governor of Texas, we'd be in for an interesting time. His camp had this to say recently about candidate Carole Keeton Strayhorn asking to be listed on the November ballot as Carole Keeton "Grandma" Strayhorn:

"Strayhorn's demand that her political slogan be put on the ballot is completely absurd and reveals a politician fast becoming irrelevant," said spokesman Robert Black. "Kinky Friedman may tell jokes, but the Strayhorn campaign is teetering on the edge of becoming one."

Maybe Bill should fund Kinky who should hire Scoble as the official Texas evangelist and podcaster. We already have a state bird and a state flower.

This would keep the band together and be good for Texas at the same time.

Kinky rocks!

Here's my official list of 10 reasons Texans should vote for Kinky (I stole this list from a whiney liberal, but I fixed it to take out the whining):

(1) Kinky has run for office in the past as a Republican,

(2) Kinky voted for Bush/Cheney in 2004,

(3) Kinky's interview with Ruminator magazine confirms that he supported Bush's Middle East foreign policy,

(4) Kinky's public voting records confirm he was mistaken when he said he voted for Gore in 2000,

(5) Kinky hasn't voted for a Democrat in any election at least from 1994 to 2004,

(6) Kinky wants to take time during the school day for prayers in schools,

(7) Kinky wants to post the Ten Commandments in public school classrooms,

(8) Kinky is not obsessed with political correctness,

(9) Kinky knows how to deal with illegal aliens from Mexico, and

(10) Kinky’s immigration policy of hiring Mexican generals to police our border is a great idea that John McCain has endorsed.
