Away from these demagogues
For those who don't follow independent gubernatorial campaigns across the country, Kinky Friedman, of Kinky Friedman and the Texas Jewboys fame, is running for Governor of Texas. If that isn't hilarious enough, he recently appeared at a campaign event with Jesse "The Body" Ventura, star of Predator and former Governor of Minnesota. And I need a minute.
Anyway, there's not much to write about either of these guys that hasn't already been written, but the accompanying photograph from the joint appearance asks a serious question for me, personally:
b) Los Angeles Clipper Center and former Central Michigan star Chris Kaman
c) 80's action staple/henchman Al Leong
d) Retired Governor and elder statesman of Minnesota

What look is Ventura (on the right) going for here?

Kinky wrote this in the July 27, 2006 edition of High Times:
"Take it easy now, Kinkster," said Robert Young. "You've had a bad accident and you're in the Cedars of Tedium Hospital. Apparently you were run over by a bookmobile as you were coming out of a men's room in Denver, Colorado. To save your life we had to give you a transfusion using the blood of a person of the Negro persuasion."
"That's moderately unpleasant," I said.
"Well, there's a good side of things, too," said Robert Young. "Your welfare checks should start coming in a few weeks, and your penis just grew twelve inches. Ha-ha-ha."
Until recently, I was a Kinky supporter, but I'm fairly uncomfortable with this comment. This wasn't 26 years ago. It was just a couple of months ago during Kinky's campaign. At a minimum, that shows poor judgment.
