And Kinky Said Unto the People: Why the Hell Not? So the good people of Texas weren't able to get the Kinkster
into the Governor's Mansion in 2006. It was a solid race,
and he fought the good fight. Getting on the ballot as an
independent -- a feat that had not been achieved in over a
century -- was a victory in itself. And with ideas like
"slots for tots" (legalized gambling to pay for education),
the five Mexican generals plan (bribes to enforce border
protection), and a firm stand against the "wussification" of
the state, he would have done a helluva job. If that 2006 election was any indication -- and it was --
the political landscape in both Texas and the country at
large needs a significant overhaul. The hucksters, the
wealthy, and the twofaced rule; there is no room for Truth,
and the little guys are quickly forgotten in all the muck.
But Kinky, (briefly) down yet certainly not out, is still
looking out for his fellow Americans, and he has much wisdom
to impart. In this hilarious, thought-provoking manifesto, Kinky lays
forth his ten commandments for improving the state of Texas
and politics everywhere, and for restoring order, logic,
decency, and above all a sense of humor back to this
country. It's classic Kinky in a brand new way. And he might
just have a point.
