But probably not in the way you think -- Kinky Friedman is definitely exploring alternative means of funding in his bid for Texas governor.
Friedman responded, "You have no idea how lucky I am."
The candidate was at Harrah's in New Orleans last weekend and hit a progressive jackpot on a slot machine. For the uninitiated, that's three rows of double stars.
Friedman won $45,612.
According to our source, Friedman's quote was, "It's a sign from the Lord."
Friedman reportedly deposited $40,000 into his campaign account today.
Am I weird for wanting to move to Texas just so I can vote for Kinky Friedman? He is just too cool... have you read his mystery novels? I highly recommend Elvis, Jesus and Coca-Cola to the uninitiated.
Any other thoughts on The Kinkstah from a resident Texan?

I moved from Austin a few months ago, but really wanted to be in Texas to vote for Kinky. Maybe I'm going to have to move back.

I have read three or four Kinky Friedman novels and really enjoyed them, but quite frankly I have such disdain for city and state politics that I haven't even looked at what his platform is.
I'm asking myself: How can it be that I've never ran through your site before?
