I have been reading Kinky Friedman's works latley.

[TheMightyFavog]

Yes, he'd not the most sensitive or PC guy out there, but I read one of his detective books recently and found myself laughing out loud quite a bit.

[UTUSN]

1. So why doesn't he lock himself up and write and STOP FUCKING with TX politics?!1

The idiot young Libs in Austin, TX, keep voting for a-holes like him and Ralph NADIR because they are all SO SMART, and their votes only split the vote against the Rethugs and therefore ensure GOODHAIR's continued squatting.

SO smart.

[TheMightyFavog]

2. Now I know very little abouty TX politics...

But I thought I heard somewhere that he's going to run as a Dem next year.

[WolverineDG]

4. and considering the other "democrat" is a Bush supporter

I'm still waiting for someone to tell me why I shouldn't vote for Kinky this time around....

[crispini]

5. He still hasn't come out on women's right to choose,

unless someone can point me to something that says otherwise, and that right there is enough for me not to vote for him.

Hey dg, girl, how are you doin! :hi: Nice to run into you. :D

[WolverineDG]

8. Doing fine

:hi: Nice to see you too, crispi! What's up with you? :)

10. Uh, VOTE FOR A DEMOCRAT11, O.K.?????????!!!!!!!!!11111111 n/t

[UTUSN]

9. SON!1 What does "running as a Dem" matter withOUT fucking BEING a DEM?!11

What alternative universe do you live in?!11

[Ikonoklast]

3. Free publicity in order to make money from his other exploits.

If it wasn't for his nonsensical political campaigns, people not related to him would even know just who the fuck he is.

Just another egotist.

[Brother Buzz]

6. His novels are just OK, and his politics sucks, but the one thing that redeems Kinky is....

his Animal Rescue Ranch.

Utopia Animal Rescue Ranch is howling happy! Kinky Friedman, our Gandhi-like figure at the rescue ranch, has put his money where his mouth is! His entire share of the proceeds from the sale of the new Kinky Friedman's Private Stock Salsa line is literally going to the dogs--straight to our dogs, that is! As Kinky would say, 'Thank you very much!'

Spend some time over at the site a enjoy the good side of Kinky Friedman.

11. Sorry, but NOTHING is ENOUGH to redeem him or his pal (the hillbilly radio ASS)

HITLER (ooooo, I LOST the debate by citing HITLER) -=======loved DOGS. NO, it does NOT redeem SHIT-----------O.K.????????????????!1!!!!!!!!!!!!1111

[Brother Buzz]

14. Actually, I'm OK with your screed.

Utopia Animal Rescue Ranch is really the brainchild of his brother, Dr. Tom Friedman, DVM, and Kinky just plugs the fine operation for his own self-serving promotion.

[Richardo]

7. I liked one of his books, but the last one I read* was really not good...

...I mean the guy still thinks it's hee-larious to refer to a taking a crap as 'taking a Nixon'. Every single time. Most of his readers are probably confused, wondering what he has against Cynthia Nixon. Update it a little, Kinky, we've had Reagan and two Bushes in the last 40 years. :eyes:

* On edit: "Prisoner of Vandam Street"

[Ptah]

12. Now I remember why I stopped reading his books.

Thanks for the memory trigger, Richardo

:thumbsup:

[Schema Thing]

13. Yeah, I couldn't get thru the last one of his I tried to read

not that funny, not that interesting.

[tigereye]

17. yeah, I think I had the same reaction - I was kind of bummed, since usually

he's hilarious. I love those old stock expressions, though.

[graywarrior]

15. I tried reading his stuff

Couldn't get into it.

[tigereye]

16. I love those...

"fired up the blower on the right..."

[Nevernose]

18. His music was great.

And his books are pretty darned good.

[argyl]

19. His music sucked, particularly by Austin standards.Racist asshole.

Er,Kinky's the racist asshole,not you.Wanted to clarify.
