Yeah, kinky friedman,,,, its all been done before. Its great when someone wants to steal the spotlight off of serious issues.
Rumour: are you saying that Kinky's campaign is taking away from the "real" issues of health care, the war in Iraq, education, etc.?
I personally think that the biggest issue we have in politics in this country is the crisis in democracy - i.e. that the people have no way of discussing, never mind implementing, policy decisions. The good ol' boys' internecine clubhouse needs shaking up, and I applaud anybody willing to take them on.
Are you participating in any campaigns???
