Reply #4: My son's Kinky Friedman story

[Gothmog]

My law partner got my son an autographed copy of one of Kinky's books after he told Kinky this story.

Back in 2001 my son was at the National Boy Scout Jamboree outside Washington D.C. James spent a great deal of time during the Jamboree at the National Jewish Committee on Scouting site. One day while leaving the NJCOS site, James was confronted by some a group of boys from one of the Utah troops who asked James if he was a Jew. One of the boys started jabbing James and calling him a "kike" and other nasty names. James tried to walk away and when that did not work, James hit the lead boy in the solar plexus. The other boys back away and James walked away humming the song "They Don't make Jews Like Jesus Any More."

Kinky was very impressed with this story and wrote a nice note to James about his incident.

It may be a wasted vote but given that I doubt that a Democrat is going to win Texas for a while, I may support Kinky because it will be fun.
