Kinky Friedman For Governor
For those of you not familiar with Kinky Friedman, you are missing out. He is an independent and outspoken candidate for governor in Texas, USA. While he is flamboyant and at times a little over-the-top, he says smart things and I believe he is exactly what Texas needs to regain its reputation with America, post Duyba. He’s a candidate in the mold of former wrestler and governor of Minnesota Jesse ‘The Body’ Ventura.
On Saturday, Kinky was caught taking a sip of Guinness while riding in a car during a St. Patrick’s Day parade. Apparently, he is in hot water for breaking the state’s open container laws.
Kinky’s response:
Guinness is the drink that kept the Irish from taking over the world. It would be unthinkable not to have a Guinness during a St. Patrick’s Day parade. In fact, it would be spiritually wrong.
Rock on Kinky Friedman! Good luck in your race and DoubleSpeak hopes to catch up with you soon.

Kinky Friedman is amazing to observe from a distance. I try to check his website at least once a week to watch his new commercials that often feature a talking Kinky doll and reporters at a staged press conference.
I was first “turned-on” to Kinky by a rogue, Texas progressive that once dreamt of returning to his home state to bring about a change. I have a feeling that rogue might go home someday…. until then, some kinky guy is trying to win one for the ages.

Also….. perhaps Matthew and Peter could promo some “kinky music” by playing some Texas Jew-Boys tunes in the background of one of the upcoming episodes? I’m hoping some of them are clean enough for prime-time, all-the-time airwaves.
