    He ran for governor of Texas a few years ago and did surprisingly well.
    There is much to be said in favour of modern journalism. By giving us the opinions of the uneducated, it keeps us in touch with the ignorance of the community.

    For an unknown, he did pretty good; but I think he only got 13% of the vote.

    As you say, 13% is pretty good if you're an independant candidate. Plus there was another independent in the race as well so he would have done even better.

    I agree; but just like other unknowns, they just can't seem to get enough backing.

    An "unknown?" Kinky has been around forever, he is an icon in Texas!

    Tom, Kinky is also an author of some very entertaining fiction.
    Here lies the body of Mary Lee; died at the age of a hundred and three. For fifteen years she kept her virginity; not a bad record for this vicinity.

    I meant that he was unknown to me and it was only later that I realised that he ran for Texas Governor and is trying again for 2010 as a Democrat.

    I was actually referring to FREEDOM's use of the word "unknown." I suppose I should have used the quote feature...

    Is that your impression of a Southern redneck talking or your alter ego?

    I kind of figured, what with you being in England and all, that there was a pretty good chance you had not heard of him. Probably the only reason I know of him his because I lived in Texas when I was a kid and have been back many times to visit friends and family. I know there are great musicians in the U.K. that I would love but will never hear of.
