Yes I’m still on maternity leave (although I haven’t much time left … ) but I just read something so terribly funny that it is worth interrupting my vacation (that would be the no-sleep and how-does-this-eight-pound-human-fill-so-many-diapers-in-one-day vacation) to write a quick blog!Kinky Friedman is one of several relatively unknown candidates for Governor down in Texas. He boasts a somewhat eclectic political agenda, a penchant for stirring up trouble and a rather famous (not to mention unofficial) campaign manger by the name of Willie Nelson.
In a press statement yesterday, Kinky said that 1500 National Guard troops on the Mexico border would not fix the problem of illegal immigration … but maybe 10,000 would!
He also suggested that the feds need to cough up about $100 million bucks to help local law enforcement authorities in Texas cover the rise in operating costs associated with the relocation of Katrina evacuees from New Orleans into cities such as Houston.
Earlier in the week, Kinky said the rise in crime was courtesy of the "crackheads and thugs" who fled New Orleans after the hurricane last year.
And he’s right, of course, but that didn’t stop the libs from calling him a racist.
His response to these accusations was not the typical I’m running for office so I'd better suck up to the minorities and never, ever say what I really think statement … it was a tad more colorful. "I don’t eat tamales in the barrio, I don’t eat fried chicken in the ghetto, I don’t eat bagels with the Jews for breakfast," said Friedman, who is Jewish. "That to me is true racism."

Bravo Mr. Hopefully Future Governor of Texas!
Some people are provincial, party-line voters … some people are irresponsible, single-issue voters. Personally, I have learned to support the candidate who shuns the politically correct and refuses to pander to those play ground bullies from the ethnic lobby — even if our politics are as different as night and day, I’m a sucker for a man with moxie!
Check out this crazy guy — they don’t call him KINKY for nothing …
