Common Sense

How is it I keep missing all the cool political stuff happening in Waco? I blame the Little League page!

Kinky Friedman’s campaign stop at Baylor University on Wednesday afternoon was interrupted by a surprise visit from the NoZe Brothers, an underground group of student pranksters.

Though the independent gubernatorial candidate addressed serious issues like immigration, education and renewable fuels — specifically biodiesel — the mood at the event was light and upbeat, thanks to Friedman’s often humorous delivery and the appearance of some NoZe members who “indicted” Friedman into their group.

They dubbed him “Bro. Yellow NoZe of Texas.”

Friedman took the interruption in stride, calling it “the most satisfying award I’ve received in my whole life, being inducted into the NoZe Brotherhood.”

You understand what this means: I have to call Laura Stromberg and ask why she didn’t wake me up to go cover this.

Granted, I probably would not have woken up when the phone rang, but still, it is the principle of the thing.
