Who, and what's up with this this guy? I hear he's running for Gov next year. His views on the political scene sound pretty good:

THE STATE OF POLITICS
Today, Texans have no choice for their leadership except paper or plastic. Political parties are for sale to the highest bidder, and lobbyists control the Texas Legislative agenda. "A fool and his money are soon elected. " - Kinky Friedman

"I'm a Jew, I'll hire good people."

“If elected, I would ask Willie Nelson to be the head of the Texas Rangers and Energy Czar and Laura Bush to take charge of the Texas Peace Corps to improve education in the state. I'd ask my Palestinian hairdresser, Farouk Shami, to be Texas ' ambassador to Israel . We've worked together to create Farouk & Friedman olive oil. The oil comes from the Holy land and all of the profits go to benefit Israeli and Palestinian children.”

He's an author and has been a staple in Austin for decades...if he can get any sort of backing for his campaign he could be considered a serious contender. Unfortunately outside of Austin and the literary world he's virtually unknown...

So I'm not the only one who has shown interest in the man's antics. He seems to be genuine and dare I say that with a little more push, he may be able to cause some major change here in Texas.
