NEXT STOP: ELECTION DAY

We'll be at the Secretary of State's office at noon Thursday, May 11 to turn in your signatures to put the next Governor of the State of Texas, Kinky Friedman, on the ballot for the November election. It wasn't easy - the powers-that-won't-be-for-long made sure of that - but you have all spoken with a clear voice in numbers too big to ignore:

Put Kinky on the Ballot NOW!

It's the will of the People of Texas.

All across this great state, from the Piney Woods to the Great Trans-Pecos, from the Llano Estacado to all the way down in the Valley, Texans have signed the petition by the tens of thousands to put Kinky on the ballot and give Texans a real alternative to paper-or-plastic politics.

Kinky invites you to join him for a rally on the steps of the offices of the Texas Secretary of State Building in downtown Austin on Brazos between 10th and 11th Streets at HIGH NOON on Thursday to celebrate this historic event. Please plan to show up and show your support for Kinky, democracy, and freedom. Then head over to Scholz Garden to meet Kinky, campaign staff, volunteers and supporters.

THANK YOU, TEXAS. WE COULDN'T HAVE DONE IT WITHOUT YOU.

I watched a 60Minutes interview with him. He is definitley different. I liked him. More free thinking than most.

The Kinkster is the bee's knees !

Before he started writing, he fronted the legendary Texas Jewboys, a western swing band most famous for their anti- anti Semetism anthem " They Ain't Makin' Jews Like Jesus Anymore".

He's fond of the fact that he was "the first full blooded Jew to play the Grand Old Op'ry".

Kinky's da man ! After his term as governor, I'm hoping he'll be the next Pope.

Well, a redneck nerd in a bowling shirt

Was drinkin' Lone Star beer.

Talking religion and politics

For all the world to hear.

"They oughta send you back to Roosha, boy

Or New York City, or one.

Ya just wanna doodle a Christian girl

And ya killed God's only son."

"Has it occured to you, you nerd

That's not very nice?

We Jews believe it was Santa Claus that killed Jesus Christ..."

(Chorus)

They ain't makin' Jews like Jesus anymore.

They don't turn the other cheek,

The way they did before.

Well, I heard that honky holler

As he headed for the floor,

"Oh...They ain't makin' Jews

Like Jesus anymore !"

I read the thread because of the title as it reminded me of what my (then)thirteen year old son came home from school with. It’s a joke that I think looses nothing in the translation ---

He asked ---

“Hey Abba, What’s the difference between kinky sex --- and perverted sex?”

This from a thirteen year old and a few years ago as well.

What to do? To start to explain – or what. I decided to play it safe in the hope that it was a joke and not a serious question.

“I don’t know” I replied “What is the difference?”

“With kinky sex you use a feather ------- with perverted sex you use the whole chicken!”

What do you do? All could do was laugh.
