Cowboy Logic: The Wit and Wisdom of Kinky Friedman (and Some of His Friends)
Cowboy Logic is filled with the bons mots of our favorite Texas legend, "the oldest Jew in Texas who doesn't own real estate." Complementing his ageless (and outrageous) maxims organized thematically are original cartoons and illustrations by the brilliant Ace Reid. For example: *Always respect your superiors, if you have any.*Where there's a will, there's a...more

not really a book, per se, more a list of quotes from the kinkster, and some funny pictures by Ace Reid. easy to knock over this book in minutes, but there are a few good quotes and oneliners inside to remember and use yourself.
Entertaining. Some of these are pretty funny and true!
This little book is irreverant and even ribald on occassion, just like Kinky himself. I have found my Political Guru though. This little collection is filled with sound rational thoughts and belly laughs. With his solid insight, I don't know why Kinky isn't the "former governor" of Texas and on his way to the White House to live, not just to visit. Oh ... yes I do. That already happened too recently hasn't it! But I'd vote for him anyway.
moments of sublime genius...other moments of tired stereotypes and retread jokes. an easy enough read (considering it entirely consists of one liners)to justify the experience.
as my father said to me about this book: kinky, jewish, cowboy. you should at least pay attention.
