Well, of course it would be a step up

For the state of Texas, I mean.

Author, musician, and icon, Kinky Friedman, has announced that he will run for Governor of Texas.

The author of numerous books, columns and songs he performed with his bar band "The Texas Jewboys," Friedman, 60, stressed he'll use humor to frame a serious candidacy in the Republican-dominated state.

"Don't worry about my lack of experience," Friedman said. "Trust me. I'm a Jew. I'll hire good people."
