Only In California.....
|
The Circus is Coming, The Circus is Coming!! I don�t usually talk politics. Even when the war was going on...I kept my "Fuck You, Go to Hell Bush" comments to myself. Just thinking bout that man makes my damn blood boil. I can barely say his name without my heart racin from hatred. But today..I�m gonna talk politics. I�m gonna talk about the political circus going on in this lovely state I call home. I used say think that crazy shit like this only happened in Alabama. But now I say... "Only in California" Have you heard about the recall of Governor Gray Davis??? For those of you who have been livin under a rock the last few weeks..here is the 411. Cali is in a 38 billion dollar deficit. So of course someone has to take the blame for what is the 5th largest economy in the world being in a financial crisis. That�s what Americans do best...place blame on someone else!! Since Gray Davis is the Governor of California..who better to blame? Forget that we have 2 senators, 53 representatives, 80 assembly members and a host of other officials that help make decision about how the state is going to run. The only thing that Californians seem to be worried about is how they can recall the current governor and spend and additional 53 to 66 million dollars that we already don�t have. Hmmm...I�m not the best when it comes to finances and budgeting...but I know it does not make not a bit of sense to spend money you don�t already have (even I have learned that the hard way). What�s worse is that the state went almost the whole month of July without a budget because our trusty paid legislators could not agree on how they were going to spend our tax dollars. Had the budget not been passed by the beginning of August all the state workers in Cali would be making $6.75 which is minimum wage. FYI..Cali is one expensive ass place to live. There is no way that people with $200,000 and $300,000 houses would have made their mortgage payments, car payments (and you know every one here gotta drive some big ass SUV, BMW or Mercedes) even if they lived in a 2 income household. But our elected officials would get paid just the same, and receive all their special incentives that they get. Even though Gray Davis is the Governor I think other officials should be held accountable for the states financial problems too. Governor Davis does not make any decision on his own. He has to get approval from the state senate and legislators. Personally, I like Governor Davis. This is his second term in office. And just a few years ago Cali�s economy was doing good. A lot of the budget issues come from the energy crisis that was going a few years ago. So Davis made a few bad decisions in handling the energy crisis..none of us are exempt from making mistakes. He did what he thought was best for Californians at the time. Unfortunately it didn�t work out to his advantage...that�s no reason to kick him to the curb. If it was then I�m gonna start a recall to kick George "Dumb Ass" Bush to the curb. That whole war fiasco was a BIG ASS mistake...and now we are paying for it!!! If you are ready to recall "Dumb Ass" click here and say "Hell Yeah, kick that Motha fucker to the Curb!!" The California recall election that is coming up is a big ass joke by itself...but when you factor in who is running for Governor...oh Lawd...I cant decide if it is more embarrassing since I�m a Californian or if it is just hilarious. First lets start off with "the smut peddler who cares" Larry Flint, founder of Hustler Magazine. (oh by the way..the quote is his, not mine). Can you believe that the man who makes a living exploiting young women is running for governor?? Does he really think he has a chance?? I mean dayum Californians are liberal...but most of us still have morals. If the King of Porn is elected...I�m moving to freakin Alaska...where shit actually makes some sense. Okay...the next person who entered the governor race is Arnold...and I�m not talking about the Terminator...I will get to him in a minute. I�m talking about Arnold from Different Strokes...a.k.a... Gary Colman. (ROFL)...now what made this fool think he actually has a chance. His only election platform is the one he is going to be standing on so he can see over the podium. Gary Coleman is butt ass broke...he doesn�t even have money to campaign so why in hell should Californians elect him to office to take control of our money issues when he has his own money issues??? You would think a child actor who was once a millionaire would have something to show for it (besides a criminal record). "What you talkin� bout Gary??" Now on to the other AhhhhhNold. Yes that�s Arnold Schwarzenegger. I just don�t know what to say...about the Terminator/Conan The Barbarian/The Predator..(I could go on and on). Arnold actually has a better chance then the other two fools that I named. At least Arnold didn�t make his money pimpin� women and the money that he has made, he has invested wisely. Arnold seems to be pretty business savvy...but I don�t think he has what it takes to be a politician...I mean dayum his English is still a lil fuzzy and he is a action movie star. So far, all the interview questions that I have seen Arnold attempt to answer were dodged..oh I take that back..he would make an excellent politician!! Oh and Arnold is a Republican..a more liberal republican but one all the same. What�s scary is that Arnold is getting tons of publicity. Coming out and announcing that he was running for office on the Tonight Show was a good start. He may actually have a chance at winning the election. But sorry AhhhNold, you don�t get my vote! Unfortunately I�m not a registered voter here in Cali. I was only 17 when I went off to college and I registered in AL when I turned 18 since that�s were I was living during the last governor and presidential elections. But you better be sure I�m gonna find out if it is to late to register for the October 7, 2003 governor recall election. Cause if Arnold, Gary, or Larry become governor..*sigh..I cant even imagine the fiasco that will follow. Maybe I should run for governor...I have a better chance of winning than Gary and Larry. Someone please remind why the hell I moved back to this Crazy Ass state???
