He's not Kinky, He's my Governor

[KiEfBoyjBm]

...But I don't perceive him as being highly smart, perceptive or compassionate. Just sort of a concocted character, which is what he freely admits to being. ..

Kinky Friedman graduated from the University of Texas with their plan II Honors major and psychology, my opinion is that he is a very smart man. Bell and Strayhorn graduated from UT as well, and Perry from Texas A&M. They all seem to have received a high level of education.

...Where's Kinky been all these years when it comes to public service, philanthropy, volunteering, or community support? Nowhere that I've seen. But I have seen some obnoxious tendencies that concern me...

Well, during college he was active in the civil rights movement, then after graduating with honors from UT, he volunteered for the Peace Corps in Borneo from 1967-1969. He came back and began his professional career as a musician alongside his childhood friend, Little Jewford, who is also helping with his campaign. They eventually became part of a group called "Kinky Friedman and the Texas Jewboys." Kinky used his musical talents to lampoon racial stereotypes, in an attempt to combat racism. Up until he announced his intentions of running for Governor he was a frequent writer for Texas Monthly, as well as writing several books. I think he has been active in the Texas Community his entire life. And it also sounds like the life story of a man who would be a legendary Governor, that is why I will vote for Kinky Friedman. Besides, a democrat has not won a state-wide election in 12 years, I don't think Chris Bell is the man to break that cycle.
