Regardless of official endorsements, we are all Independents. So without further ado, here is a brief excerpt of Newsweek article on Kinky;

Friedman claims he’s in the race because he needs the closet space, but the idea to run came after a near-death experience in Cabo San Lucas a few summers ago. Swept to sea by a wave, Kinky ended up stranded on a jagged cliff for more than 24 hours with nothing but a soggy cigar. His friends thought he had faked his own death, but Friedman had an epiphany. “I had achieved a lot of my dreams,” he says in a serious tone. “And I decided that I wanted to see younger Texans have the chance to achieve their dreams, just like I did.”
