This blog should not normally be used for serious politial debate.
One exception comes to mind though, the campaign for Governor of the great State of Texas.
Texas is unlike any other US states, it pretends to be a country of its own.
It reminds me of a blend of the State of Goias and of the Triangulo Mineiro.
Their politics are usually extremely conservative and the inhabitants quite religious.
They listen to country Music and it is acceptable to walk down the streets wearing jeans, cowboy hat and cowboy boots. Definitely the opposite of New York city.
All in all Texas is a rather strange place.
This year you have a few independent candidates running for the post of Governor of Texas.
The politics are not unlike Brazil´s but in a country where the norm is to have only a candidate from the Republican and another from the Democrat party challenge each other; the candidacy of Kinky as an independent is refreshing.
It is good to challenge the status quo where neither the Republicans nor the Democrats have anything new to say. Kinky will not probably win but he is at least amusing.
His buddy in the above picture is Jesse Ventura, a former wrestler who became governor of the state of Minnesota, so who knows.....
