It’s a big time in Texas.  Dan Patrick, the totally whacked guy running for Lt. Governor of Texas (read:  most powerful position in Texas Government)  will debate Mayor Julián Castro tonight about immigration.

It’s a 6:00 tonight Texas time and will be broadcast by Univision and the Texas Tribune.

Dan Patrick

In 2002, Patrick changed his name from Dan Goeb to the name of a far more famous broadcaster, The Official Dan Patrick.  Some folks say he chose Patrick’s name only because Jethro Lardass was already taken. He’s from Maryland.  He’s divorced.  He just plays a tough-talking, self righteous Texan on teevee.  In real life, he ain’t neither.

Julián Castro, on the other hand, is a third generation Texan who didn’t change his name because he’s comfortable in his own skin.

It’s gonna be substance against glitter tonight so if you have time to tune in, please don’t miss it.
