Some Kinky Numbers

By Karl-Thomas Musselman

First off, did anyone else notice that of Kinky's 301k he raked in, John McCall, who made a fortune as a shampoo distributor, has ponied up $160,000 so far, more than half Friedman's total?

Also, that Kinky's blog is actually running off Blogger which may be why my calls for an RSS feed have gone unresponded to? Though I do have to admit, I like his Trust for Texas Heroes idea to fund pay raises for teachers, police and fire fighters. One, Trust instead of Tax is excellent framing, two, it's out of the box but sensible and a grassroots idea that the candidate embraced. Something I'd kind of expect from the land of Fuchsia and Cream.
