Don't know if it made the news since I've turned to getting my weather forecasts online, but the Kinky Friedman campaign turned in 169,547 signatures -- including at least one signature from every one of the state's 254 counties -- to the Texas Secretary of State on Thursday.

That's nearly four times the number of signatures required for gubernatorial ballot access.

Thank you, Texas.
