If you're a Texas registered voter that didn't vote in the primary election (and don't plan to vote in a runoff election, should one be necessary), you are eligible to sign a petition for the independent candidate of your choice to be included on the November ballot.
This year's major independent candidates are Kinky Friedman, motto "why the hell not?", and Carole Keeton Strayhorn, motto "one tough grandma". She's also known for being [White House Press Secretary] Scott McClellan's mom and revoking the tax-free status of the Unitarian Universalist Church in Texas because it "does not have one system of belief" in 2004 -- a ruling that was later overturned.
...
Of course, we saved ourselves for Kinky and will be signing the petition in a few days at our closest signing station event. We're registered Libertarians, but he stands a better chance of being elected than James Werner. (Plus the Libertarians already have ballot access so they don't need 45,540 signatures to get their candidate on the ballot.)

Scott McClellan gives me intense nausea within 10 seconds of seeing his face.
I change the channel whenever I see Scott McClellan like I suspect the average person changes the channel to avoid watching commercials.
(I keep forgetting to tune in at 10 PM because I got used to it being on at 9 PM when I watched it in Colorado.)

If not, I'm a dope and thinking of someone else. :-)
Thanks for the heads-up!
