Mary Carey for Governor - and you thought Arnold was interesting:
Actually, I'm amazed more DUers aren't jumping on the Mary Carey bangwagon. I was reading some of the statements from the 247 candidates running for governor and some of them are just to out there !

My Gubernatorial Platform

The most important issue facing California right now is our $38 billion deficit and 6.7% unemployment rate. California needs a governor who will get our finances in order! As a “political outsider,” I have fresh, original ideas for helping the state generate revenue and reduce its deficit. Here are just some of them:

1. Legalize gay marriage in California. This will generate a tremendous amount of revenue for the state as a honeymoon destination.

2. Tax breast implants. From Beverly Hills alone, we should bring in millions in tax revenue. (Note: I am all-natural and I personally discourage the use of implants!)

3. Make lap dances a tax deductible business expense. This will help grease the wheels of business in California and stimulate our economy.

4. If I’m elected Governor, I will wire the Governor’s Mansion with live web cams in every room. We will create a pay site, and all money collected will go toward reducing the deficit. (note from Lynne - this is a porn star who wants to wire the governor mansion and sell it on pay-per-view. Their deficit will be gone in 2 weeks). Californians will get to see their government in action - literally! (Also, we will have people from around the globe helping to pay off our debt, so it doesn’t all fall on the shoulders of Californians.)

5. I will create a “Porn for Pistols” program to take handguns off the streets. Dealing with the violence and injuries associated with handguns is a huge drain on our state's resources.

6. As Governor, I will recruit fellow performers from the adult video industry as ambassadors of good will. These ambassadors will be a great help to California when it comes to such things as negotiating rates for buying electricity from neighboring states.

7. I will coordinate the state’s unemployment and jury systems, so that anyone who applies for unemployment will instantly be called for jury duty. This will save California state and local governments millions of dollars, because we won’t have to pay for jury duty. It will also relieve those with jobs from the stress of serving on lengthy juries.

8. I will fight the federal government's attempts to harass the adult video industry. Adult video is an $11 billion industry that creates more than $23 million in taxes each year for the state of California. We can't afford to lose this tax base!

4. Governmentwas never so interesting
And they're all-natural.

I'm convinced.

And, yeah, her ideas probably would turn the economy around. Wonder how I can get myself invited to the mansion?....

2. Jesus, she's got more of a plan than anyone else in the race!
And yeah, I'd fucking pay to see that. The deficit would simply be nonexistent within weeks.

5. And personally, "Porn for Pistols" is a fucking brilliant idea
How do you stop violence in the cities? Put something other than a gun into people's hands. Yeah, I meant penises. It's a good idea. How can you be angry when you've got an armload full of porn?

Someone needs to tell her we don't have a Governor's Mansion in California.

Other than that, she's brillant!

Is there an offical residence for the Governor, or does he or she have to find their own place?

36. Not since Gov. Brown Sr.
The old offical residence is now a tourist site. Cool old house. But the location is not good for security. The Reagans lived there very briefly.

Since then the GOV has provided their own housing. They tried to build a new offical residence when Gov Brown 2 was in office and I think he vetoed the idea.

Gov Davis in fact lives not far from me. I'm sure he was an apt in Sacto.

I'm sure she can find a place that's already pre-wired and call that home!
