4. This is something i have never understood. Why is CA
so broke? What happened there? A state where everything was good and running well 15 years ago, now is in the grounds. WTF happened with CA? Is it all Arnold's fault?

Site may not be safe for work (observe the url), but it is a colorful explanation of how tax cuts, propositions, and republicans led California to the sorry state it is in today.

2. It was actually in response to Tom Ammiano's "Kiss my gay ass" remark
Tom Ammiano is an Assemblyman representing San Francisco

(10-27) 19:19 PDT SACRAMENTO -- Did Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger's office use a coded veto message to send the f-bomb to Tom Ammiano, soon after the San Francisco assemblyman made news by telling the governor to "kiss my gay ass"?

Schwarzenegger's people say no. But the X-rated evidence is hard to miss in a message that Schwarzenegger sent to explain why he was vetoing an Ammiano bill dealing with financing for the Port of San Francisco.

A straight reading of the guv's letter laments "the fact that major issues are overlooked while many unnecessary bills come to me for consideration," and concludes, "I believe it is unnecessary to sign this measure at this time."

But a vertical read of the far-left-hand letters in each of the missive's eight lines offers a more blunt explanation: "I f- you."

6. My comment...
...as expressed in my reply to a post on a different mailing list about how "at least California has an election coming up":

As nice as it might be to contemplate a coming election, it
has to be kept in mind that, due to term limits, there is
no chance the Governator can run for re-election. Which,
unfortunately, means that all those with a brain, who would
love to see the musclebound jock from a hundred bad movies be
defeated outright, will never get that chance.

I do so wish that the laws of California were different,
so that Gropenfuhrer could stand for re-election again.

Although this law prevents permanent officeholders, it should
nonetheless be filed as an example of unforeseen consequences.

Ah, well. At least people like you will get the chance to
speak your mind via the ballot box in thirteen months. Please,
select a Democrat next time around!

:evilgrin:

7. Lies again
The Legislature did tackle some of these issues just didn't accept Arnie's crazed proposals. The Governator refuses to consider alternatives.

10. I feel the same way. Our legislature is worse than worthless.
