Briggs Made the Sun

A friend of mine, Larry Briggs, has made it in The Baytown Sun newspaper. To everyone's surprise, it's not bad news. :) In fact, he's supporting Kinky Friedman for Texas Governor. He made the paper because he's trying to spread the word about Kinky's campaign, and what voters must do to help Kinky make it on the ballot. Personally, I would like Kinky to make it on the ballot. The main issue I would support is his stance on teacher pay raises. :) I don't mind the idea of casinos in Texas either (not that I have any money to gamble).

But there are a few issues which I disagree with, but I think it will do the state a lot of good by having an independent run on the ballot. And for this election, it looks like we might have two independents! Carole Keeton Strayhorn is also preparing for an independent run. She is currently the Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts. She also wants an increase in teacher pay, and like I said, that is my biggest issue right now. :)
