    By Rick Mason | Wed, November 30, 2011

    Multi-fanged Texas rattler and jen-u-whine lone star legend Kinky Friedman writes mysteries starring himself as the crime-solving sleuth, dabbles in politics to the extent that he attracted 12 percent of the vote in the 2006 Texas gubernatorial ra... More »
