Mid-term

The U.S. is having elections today. I don't even know who's running in Florida for anything. Politics in Florida has been all downhill ever since Sam Gibbons retired. Is Katherine Harris running for something? Isn't she kind of crazy, in a bible-thumping, gay-hating kind of way? Sounds perfect for Florida. Y'all go ahead and vote for Katherine Harris.

Some time ago, J-Hole wrote some stuff about Texas politics and the participation of one Kinky Friedman. I haven't heard much about him since then, but today I saw this: Friedman looks to take political luck from Luck.

Friedman said if he's elected governor Tuesday, the first two things he'd do is reopen two Indian casinos in the state and close two horse slaughter plants rather than wait for congressional approval. The other plant is in Fort Worth.

Now I'm no wise political pundit, but it seems to me that being against the slaughtering of horses and sending the meat to France is a pretty good position to take. Let me state now for the record that I too, am against the slaughter of horses, until such time as they discover how to make bacon out of horse meat.
