Sad commentary

You know that the nation is far down the Road to Hell, riding in the traditional handbasket, when I find myself cheering _against_ a generally inoffensive college football team on the sole basis of the quality of politicians that state has foisted off on the rest of us.

Sorry, Texas, but you get tainted by the company you keep. Or elect.

Doesn't Ronnie Earle make up a little bit?

One Tough Grandma (Carole Keeton Strayhorn) might work out ok too....

Then there is Kinky Friedman.....

I have been known to read the Kinkster on occasion. The others remain unknown to me.

Tell you what -- if you guys elect Kinky and convict DeLay, you will move far down the road to redemption.

Ronnie Earle is the Travis County district attorney who is prosecuting Delay for money laundering

Grandma is the Texas State Controller who has announced her candidacy for governor. She's a republican, but is running as an independent. She was the Mayor of Austin a while back for several years. Her slogan (for years) has been "One Tough Grandma"

Kinky is also running for governor this year. :-)

Texas politics can be interesting at times....
