You know... I like Kinky. I wholeheartedly agree with him on lots of points, and disagree just as strongly on others – and do you know how I know that? Because he lays it on the line. He is for prayer in schools and gay marriage. He is against allowing people to de-claw cats and against the smoking ban (well duh, he practically has a oneness with that cigar). He will give his real opinion to you. He is not a politician. He’s a musician, an author, and runs a no-kill animal shelter. He’s a real person, and an interesting one. He truly is an independent. Here’s a link to his 60 minutes appearance (text and video), which I missed.Basically I want Rick Perry out of there and a Democrat in his place. I want it to be someone who is charismatic and ethical and outspoken and caring. I have no idea who this person is or if they exist and if so, are they electable? If that person does not exist, I will likely vote for the yellow dog on the Democratic ticket because right now we’ve got Perry. I am voting for not-Perry (and not-Strayhorn either), but unlike some people I do believe that you can waste your vote. Dividing up the not-Perry votes into lots of little pieces is not going to change anything, and I think that the purpose of an election is to either retain the incumbent or get someone else in there. It's not to show your funny side by voting for Mickey Mouse.
I am hoping that a Democrat will emerge soon and grow some legs (Gams will do. grin). If the strongest not-Perry candidate turns out to be Kinky… so be it.

Come to the Keep Austin Blue meeting on Wednesday at Mother Egan's. Meet Bob Gammage. You'll change your mind.
I just might do that.
Alright, alright!! here it is 10 months later, Kinky has shown his true colors and I would even vote for him to vote against Perry. Pretty bad. This is my official Chris Bell endorsement.
