I know we don’t really talk about politics at all – if ever – on Austin Eavesdropper, but lately I’ve been thinking about my poor municipal voting record, and wanted a little inspiration, since elections are coming up in November.
So I’m calling on the spirit of Ann, one of my favorite Texas governors. In a few weeks (September 1), it will be her birthday.
If you are a Republican and didn’t care for Ann’s politics, well, I’m sorry. In truth, when she was in office, I was too young to really understand what she was all about.
But I DID know that my whole family loved her, and I did think it was awesome that someone who looked almost exactly like my grandmother had such an important job. So when I got older, I learned more about ol’ Ann.
Did you know that:
“I get a lot of cracks about my hair, mostly from men who don’t have any.”
I think it’s safe to call that an “oh snap,” don’t you?
Miss your fiery spirit, Ann. Happy almost birthday!
