Not-So-Famous Quotes by Famous People, Vol. IV
Yeah, right, pal. Next thing youll be telling me youre king of the Jews, or something. Pontius Pilate
Yes, honey, as a matter of fact, that dress DOES make you look fat. John Bobbitt
Look, all I said was, This halibut is good enough for Jehovah. Jesus H. Christ
***********************************************
Went to a book signing last night, and actually got to meet the semi-legendary Kinky Friedman, former frontman for the Texas Jewboys, along with his trusty sidekick and labelmate Little Jewford. They were both really cool, although I think Kinky was a bit tired. Or hung over, I'm not sure which. Got lots of campaign paraphernalia (Kinky is running for governor of Texas), and signed up to help with the campaign. I especially like his idea of appointing Willie Nelson to be his energy czar.
Supporting Kinky means not voting in the Dem primary in 2006 - they won't let you sign his petition to be on the ballot if you've voted in either party's primary. But I'm willing to do it - especially since the Democratic party down here in Texas is an empty shell of what it once was, and its candidates are even worse than the ones the Dems have put up nationally the last few elections. Down here, if you're voting for an electable Dem, you might as well be voting for a goddamn Republican.
Go Kinky!
