I threw my hat into the ring and now I am a candidate for Tom DeLay's old seat. Yes, threw my hat, ripped off my shirt - exposed my man tits - and unzipped my pants to do battle in the political arena.

Where do I go to find solace?

What motivates me?

Do those male enhancement products really work?

How does history affect my political view?

Are they real, or are my wife's tits fake?

All these questions are asked of me as I travel this great state of Texas.
I am a Texan, in the mold of Crockett, Travis, and Bowie. But, just as these brave Texans knew, I also know that the greatest men are sometimes the brothers of  famous men.

So, in my first installment about famous men and their brothers, I focus on Ben
Franklin's brother, Lonnie.   
 

In 1755 (Pennsylvania Assembly: Reply to the Governor, Tue, Nov 11, 1755), Ben Franklin wrote: "Those who would give up essential Liberty, to purchase a little temporary Safety, deserve neither Liberty nor Safety."

In 1756 (A  Pennsylvania Pub called, "The Lucky Patriot", Lonnie Franklin wrote:  "Those that would give up security for liberty, to purchase a little "strange", deserve neither liberty or a little "strange".  For, it is up to those like us to get what we can from those that are like them...and then....a bird in the hand is better than getting shit from a bush."
