It’s Kinky To You

From the Houston Chronicle:

Kinky Friedman’s campaign urged Texas’ chief election official Wednesday to put him on the ballot for governor using his famous nickname rather than his lesser-known given name of Richard.

Texas Secretary of State Roger Williams has said Friedman can be listed on the ballot with his nickname but said he thinks state law will require him to be listed as either Richard “Kinky” Friedman or R. “Kinky” Friedman.

Bottom line, Richard isn’t a bad-ass name. Kinky, Keep speaking the truth and we’ll forget about the whole Richard thing.
