I am no Texan, thank god.  But I will endorse Kinky Friedman for governor of the Lone Star State.  (New Yorker write-up here.)

My favorite Kinky quote? “The Kinkster never likes to say ‘fuck’ in front of a c-h-i-l-d.”  Second favorite?  "May the god of your choice bless you." 

Can I be Kinky when I grow up?  That shit’ll preach.
