If you don’t already know that Texas could wind up with a Jewish governor named Kinky Friedman, you haven’t been watching the news.
The latest development is that this writer of detective novels and leader of The Texas Jewboys, a satirical country and western band, has now been approved to have “Kinky” included with his name on the ballot. Some think Kinky’s campaign is a publicity stunt, but if it is, it’s one being guided by the consultant who helped Jesse Ventura (pro wrestler) become governor of Minnesota in 1998.
Click on the image above to watch one of the “KinkyToons” he’s using to get the message out. This one features some of Kinky’s musician friends–including Willie Nelson, Billie Joe Shaver, Bruce Robison, Kelly Willis, the Dixie Chicks, and Pat Green.
“I support gay marriage,” Friedman said in 2005, “I believe they have a right to be as miserable as the rest of us.”

I’m all for watching porn movies. I think that masturbation is a good thing. In my younger days I was know to enjoy having a drink or ten. And I’ve always liked to drive fine cars whenever I can. But combining all of those things at the same time can be a problem.
Or at least it was for Minnesota Timberwolves center Eddie Griffin.
A lawsuit filed last week states that he was drunk and [tag]masturbating[/tag] while watching [tag]pornography[/tag] in a DVD player mounted on the dashboard of his Cadillac Escalade SUV when he crashed into a parked Chevy Suburban back in March.
Somehow I know there’s going to be a big outcry and gnashing of teeth over how pornography and masturbation was the cause of the problem. Wrong! The problem was this guy doesn’t know how to manage his vices. You can do what you want to do, Eddie, but you can’t do them all at the same time with no regard to where you are or what else you’re doing.
This is a case of someone with bad impulse control, but I just know the PTB (powers that be) will find a way to gain some anti-porn/anti-sex points over it.
The accident was caught on the surveilance video of the Santana Foods store across the street. The video shows Griffin in the store pleading with witnesses to not call police saying, “I can’t go to jail.” It also shows Griffin admitting he is drunk and doesn’t have a driver’s license, and has him struggling for minutes to put on his sweatshirt and offering to buy a car for the man who’s SUV he crashed into in front of Santana Foods. The news site where I found the story has the video coded in a way that makes it hard to show to you here, but you can watch it on the page below if you want to see for yourself.
Wolves Player Watched Porn, Caused Crash
This isn’t a movie, just something that gave me a laugh today. It’s from a post on the BDSM Board asking about slave [tag]tattoos[/tag], but then someone asked “If I want a tattoo around my pussy what will you suggest?” and these were the posted suggestions so far.
The Willy Nelson (?)
Okay, one of these might make you want to plug it in, but I think the other one is a little scary. Not sure I’d want to put anything personal in there.
