Country music icon, satirist and one-time gubernatorial candidate Richard "Kinky" Friedman has announced his bid for agriculture commissioner in 2014. Friedman will run in the Democratic primary.
The 68 year old said he’s interested in legalizing and regulating marijuana as an agricultural crop to revitalize the Texas farming industry.

Yep. And I think he's right that hemp needs to be restored as an agricultural commodity. It's a useful plant that was grown for most of US history.

Wish he would run for Land Commissioner and keep Baby Jeb Bush, George P. out of Texas office.

He really is a nice guy. My daughter opened for him in Dallas a few years back. It was a benefit for his dog rescue. Of course, he’ll lose again.

That might be a good job for him. Kinky is probably more conservative/libertarian than he would like to admit.

He is, but like other entertainment types Republicans use live kittens for catfish bait in his mind, so he’ll always be a rat.
Good-hearted rat, but still a rat... oblivious to what his party has become.

He actually is-and he is not a dumb stoner, either. The animal shelter he operates is a good one, and much appreciated, since rural areas are where city dwellers drive to dump pets they are tired of-two of my 3 cats were tossed away pets-one was still wearing a collar. Anyone who is dedicated to rescuing animals is good at heart.

I wish more of the other side were like Kinky, and less like rabid ferrets on meth.

Maybe Kinky and the Abortion Queen (Wendy Davis) can campaign together.
He for legal dope. She for free abortions.

I might vote for him just for the entertainment value. He’s bound to be better than what Jim Hightower was anyway.

Saw him in NYC at the Lone Star about 30 years ago....fun show!

I view murdering children as different from using a plant.
Not even in the same league.
Besides, hemp should be back in the fields in the US. It's a useful crop.
