Texas Gets Kinky

Musical crackpot Kinky Friedman is running for Texas Governor, and as you'd expect from a guy named Kinky, his press conference sounded like a lot of fun:

"On the 169th anniversary of Lt. Col. William B. Travis' arrival at the Alamo, which would eventually fall to Mexican troops, Friedman laid out his plan to begin the 'de-wussification of Texas.'

'I'm not anti-death penalty. I'm anti-the wrong guy getting executed,' Friedman said. 'Two-thousand years ago we executed an innocent man named Jesus Christ and we don't want to make another mistake like that.'"
