For any fellow Texans subscrbing to this site: Today Kinky Friedman officially announced his intention of running, as an independent, for governor of the great state of Texas. While the 2006 gubernatorial race may not be in the forefront of the hearts and minds of many, there is reason to support him as a serious candidate: Mr. Friedman is in favor of legalized gambling in Texas. He feels that the influx of gaming revenue would be instrumental in the overhaul of our state's educational system (which desperately needs it). If anyone is interested in learning about or getting involved with his campaign, look for details in the coming weeks at www.kinkyfriedman.com.
