Kinky Friedman will be in town Thursday at SMU in the afternoon and then at UTD in Richardson Fri Afternoon and then for the Debate at the Ch 8 Studios Friday night. So Perry, Carol Strayhorn and the Democratic Candidate (his name slips me right now) will be at the debate also and I would guess that they would have some speaches on Friday Afternoon so we will be hip deep in Politicians this week in town. |
The visit went well. None of the stations really covered the visit. Channel 11 had a 3 second clip of him getting off of his plane. There were no protesters at Love or the event site. There was major traffic problems but anytime POTUS and the VP moves you have a large motorcade and over 100 motor jocks. With the current politcal climate I would not be shocked if VP or POTUS come back before vote day.
There will be a protest on Thursday night at Dealy Plaza and it will start 7pm. They will be protesting the Bush leadership and the GOP. The group putting this event on is a national group out of NY and there are protests all over the country for this.
PS-- The Dem Candidate is named Chris Bell
