Kinky Friedman for Governor--2006

From the Kinky Friedman Official Site:: "The professionals gave us the Titanic, amateurs gave us the Ark."

Kinky Friedman is running for governor of Texas in 2006.

He won't win, of course: as far as I know, he's never held office before; he's an independent; and he's not an evangelical Christian (as his campaign logo implies, he's not any other kind, either).
I think it's a mistake to write Friedman off as a joke, though; campaign slogans like "How hard could it be?" and "Why the hell not?" are perfectly reasonable questions, considering the records of some previous governors, and I don't just mean the two most recent.
