Texas Political Hijinx: First in a Many-Part Series

This morning, the Carole Keeton Strayhorn campaign announced that she wishes to be identified on the gubernatorial ballot as "Carole Keeton 'Grandma' Strayhorn."

Best quote from "Kinky" Friedman: "She can call herself Carole Cougar Mellencamp if she wants, but when it comes to the ballot, she should follow the law."

Lordy. I'm so grateful that I come from a state that has far less embarassing politicians.
