no al gore, this isnt for you........kinky friedman, running for governor of Texas said this:


Independent gubernatorial candidate Kinky Friedman on Friday reiterated his top pick to implement his energy plan that emphasizes renewable sources: Willie Nelson.

Friedman said the country singer/songwriter and benefactor of biodiesel was a natural choice to lead a state energy department or commission, which he wants to create. He also said Nelson "would never have his hand in Texas' pocket."

"My plan is to appoint the best people I can find, get out of the way and let them work ... people whose only agenda is to do the right thing for the people of Texas," Friedman told the Fort Worth Rotary Club. "... I really believe that musicians can better run this state than politicians."

Did Willie ever get that tax bill with the IRS settled?

Also, if Willie becomes energy chief, look for most of the energy policy to be centered around the decriminalization of hooch. :pop:

From Wikipedia: In 1990 (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1990), the IRS (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Internal_Revenue_Service) gave Nelson a bill for $16.7 million in back taxes and took away most of his assets to help pay the charges. He released The IRS Tapes: Who'll Buy My Memories? as a double album, with all profits going straight to the IRS. Many of his assets were auctioned and purchased by friends, who gave his possessions back to him or rented them at a nominal fee. His debts were paid by 1993 (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1993).
