Kinky Friedman goes upscale

The New Yorker sent their reporter, David Halpern, on the campaign trail with Kinky Friedman as he tries to get on the ballot in Texas as an independent candidate for governor. Halpern had unlimited and uncensored access to the Kinkster. It's a good read. If you happen to be outside of Austin on September 24th, have a little money, and want to support the Kinkster in his bid for governor, then you should know that Willie Nelson and Jesse Ventura are having a little fund raiser for Friedman. If you donate $5,000, then you get to play golf with Willie and Jesse. If you don't play or can't afford that, then join them for lunch for a $1,000 (singles) or $1,500 (couples) donation.
