Weekend Treat

One of my favorite Texas news guys is Joe Holley, who can spin a yarn into a dandy memory.  And he also has the best hair of all the news guys in Texas.

This morning, Joe turned on a light bulb in my head.  He compares Donald Trump’s election to Pappy Lee O’Daniel, a Texas Governor who has been memorialized in the Coen brother’s O Brother, Where Art Thou?

Pappy was a radio personality who had never voted before he was elected governor. Hell, he hadn’t paid his poll tax so he couldn’t even vote for himself.  He ran for governor to advertise his flour, and he got elected.

So, if you’re looking to grin, let Joe lead the way.

And, just because I like you so much, here’s one of Pappy’s campaign songs.
