This is what we meant yesterday when we said Captain Kirk was running for Galactic Commander: Kirk Watson, the former Austin mayor who ran for attorney general in 2002, has been rumored to be trying for governor or lieutenant governor or for the Texas Senate seat held by Gonzalo Barrientos since 1985.

Also in the same article, W. Gardner (W., is that the new trend? From now on we're J. PinkDome or JP Do) anyway...Selby insinuates that if you are thinking about running for office as a Democrat you better tell him now or risk not being able to raise funds to squash the all-powerful Republicans.

Wooooo. We're shaking! A.) Tell us whenever the hell you want to and B.) The Republicans should expect to hear a lot of Democrats will be running...this legislative session ought to bring them out of the friggin woodwork!

So, announce your candidacy y'all. Let's get crackin'.
