WHY THE HELL NOT?
Everyone say hello to Mr. Kinky Friedman, the next governor of the great state of Texas. I'm not a huge history buff but if I'm not mistaken, the last independent candidate to be elected governor of Texas was a man by the name of Sam Houston. Kinky is making plans to be the next. And with slogans like, "why the hell not?" and "how hard could it be?" why wouldn't he be a shoe in for the job. He is an author, musician, Texas cultural icon and is now looking to put governor at the end of a long list of titles he has held. Oddly enough, Mr. Friedman's brash disregard for anything traditional or mainstream as far as state politics go has officially landed his name on the ballot along with governor Perry, democrat Chris Bell, and some lady that calls herself "the grandma". He has garnered a lot of support around the state in the past few months and whether he wins or not he intends to at the least be heard while he is allowed the microphone in his hands on such a big stage.
So take a peak at Kinky's thoughts and intended actions on various issues in this election here. And whether you vote for him or not I hope you'll at least enjoy the show he puts on as he tries to convince the state of Texas to collectively stand up and give governor Perry a big, "Adios Mofo!" More on that here and here.

I'll tell you why the hell not. First, Kinky wants to increase health care spending on children. Anyone with half a brain knows that millions are spent on medicaid for kids in this state. Those without insurance are using medicaid which includes thousands of illegal aliens kids. Say what you want about that but just read this month's Texas Monthly article on illegals in Texas. Second, why do we need to pay teachers anymore than we do. I can't name five of my teachers growing up that were worth a damn. Plus they get about 3 months total a year off. We should cut those salaries. Third, Bio-diesel?? Come on?? That's one of your issues?? Hey Kinky the reason Texas has the 8th largest economy in the world ins't because we are pumping biodiesel out of the ground. Gimme a freak'in break!!
