Texas indy gubernatorial candidate Kinky Friedman is one of four candidates (another indy and two lonesome Dems) trying to unseat Republican incumbent Rick Perry, who has really great hair. The former singer-songwriter and mystery novelist Friedman is a long-shot, but his campaign is more than the catchy slogan, "Why The Hell Not?" He's tapping into that populist vein in a Texas-sized way, and his first Kinky-Toon, an animated Internet ad, is really pretty great. Here ya go, hoss - just choose your media player, and take it for a ride.
