More reasons to love the comedy that is Planet Politics:

Independent candidate Carole Keeton Strayhorn is asking to be listed on the November ballot as Carole Keeton "Grandma" Strayhorn, saying that is how voters know her since her successful campaign for Texas comptroller in 1998, when she ran advertisements calling herself "One Tough Grandma." (Hey, if "Kinky" Friedman can get on the ballot as "Kinky"....) (Source: Austin Statesman)
