Texas politics is almost never bland, and the race for governor there is being made more interesting with the campaign of singer/writer/humorist Kinky Friedman. He's got the backing of several big names in the "outlaw country" community which is based around Austin, most notably Willie Nelson and the Dixie Chicks. They perform on the latest "KinkyToon" encouraging people to support Friedman's effort to get on the ballot this November as an independent candidate. Nelson also does a radio commercial for the campaign (Real Player required). He's also been endorsed by radio/MSNBC personality Don Imus.
