With a hat tip to Instapundit - and at this point, I may just mail Glenn my hat - here is the best article ever written about anything by anyone, though it happens to be about Rick Perry and by self-proclaimed "Texas Jew-Boy" Kinky Friedman.  I'll give you just a taste of its insane goodness.  Then, really, hit the link.

These days, of course, I would support Charlie Sheen over Obama. Obama has done for the economy what pantyhose did for foreplay. Obama has been perpetually behind the curve. If the issue of the day is jobs and the economy, Rick Perry is certainly the nuts-and-bolts kind of guy you want in there. Even though my pal and fellow Texan Paul Begala has pointed out that no self-respecting Mexican would sneak across the border for one of Rick Perry’s low-level jobs, the stats don’t entirely lie. Compared with the rest of the country, Texas is kicking major ass in terms of jobs and the economy, and Rick should get credit for that, just as Obama should get credit for saying “No comment” to the young people of the Iranian revolution.

Yeehaw.

Best line:

While Obama is busy putting the hyphen between “anal” and “retentive” Rick will be rolling up his sleeves and getting to work.

Mail him the damned hat! Do it for us who might not have benefited from this article had Glenn not tipped you off.

PS: After you mail him the hat, don't forget to put on sunscreen.

I could sure go for one of those low-level Texas jobs right now. If the Mexicans aren't taking them, I will.

Or would, but I'm kinda locked in California right now. School, family, and all.

And not a word about policy.  Character, character, character !!  In the end, that is really what the presidency is all about.  Men of character will show it in the policies they pursue, but great policy is the caboose on the long train of character attributes.

Some things I do not care about with Perry, but Kinky has the real perspective that should be moving us all.

Gov. Perry sat in on drums in a concert with ZZ Top?   That's awesome!!!    Does anyone have a picture?

 I've been a fan of Kinky's since he was a semi-regular guest on Imus in the Morning back in the late '80s. He can certainly string a sentence together. (And a lyric.)

"Well a red-necked nerd in a bowling shirt was guzzlin' Lone Star beer.

Talkin' religion and politics for all the world to hear."

You're on your own to find the rest.

He always followed his mothers wishes,  even on the plains he used two sets of dishes.

So.....since Perry's former opponent who ran as an independent is now endorsing him, do conservatives get to start talking about Perry as a guy who could carry the country and not just the sweetheart of the true believers?

That guy writes some of what rattles around in my head and I think better not to say out loud. Good stuff, Andrew.

When they asked Kinky why he thought pot should be decriminalized, his response:

"We've got to clear some of the room out of the prisons so we can put the bad guys in there, like the pedophiles and the politicians."

I see a cabinet post in the future. God loves Kinky Friedman and Texas !

 Perry: "Washington is a seedy place".   BOOM!

He'll be over 40% by the fall and leading Obama by 5+
