The Kinkster Cracks Down

From the Governing blog, the story of an innovative disciplinary action:

“I don’t want this picking-on-each-other, back-biting stuff to go on. It’s not the cowboy way.”

Texas musician/humorist/novelist/independent gubernatorial candidate Kinky Friedman, disavowing the criminal complaint his campaign manager, Dean Barkley, filed against gubernatorial opponent Carole Keeton Strayhorn — while declining to withdraw it or apologize for it — and saying he would punish Barkley by forbidding him to visit his favorite Austin bar for two weeks.
