Doofus state - no, it's not Poland

30.08.03, 15:03
and to top it off, this promissed land is in disrepair.
So what land am I talkin about? California my friends.

Of course California is not the first state to find itself being led by a
known bonehead. Many other states have gone through this ordeal, and the way
they have traditionally handled it is to pretend that the bonehead is
competent and popular, thus causing him to be so impressed with himself that
he resigns from the governorship and runs for president of the United States.

But California has a unique system of government, known technically as
the ''Any Random Loon Can Put Any Random Thing On the Ballot If Enough
Random Loons Agree'' system. If you're a Californian, and you want to put
something to a statewide vote, all you have to do is gather a couple of
million signatures. That sounds like a lot, but in California you can get
that many signatures in 45 minutes merely by approaching disgruntled
motorists gridlocked on a freeway during rush hour (6:30 a.m-11:30 p.m.) and
having them pass your petition from car to car. As a result, Californians
are constantly voting on things. They have repealed gravity several times.

If Gray gets dumped, there are literally hundreds of candidates vying to
replace him. Under California election law, virtually anybody can run for
governor, except of course smokers. Porn King Larry Flynt has courageously
thrown his hat into the ring, despite the very real risk that he will draw
attention to himself. (Larry's hat is still in the ring; nobody wants to
pick it up, because who knows where that thing has been?)

Also on the ballot are Arnold Schwarzenegger (who has promised to straighten
California out by, quote, 'Not making any more movies''); Arianna
Huffington, former wife of former congressperson Michael Huffington; the
Huffingtons' former cat, Puffington Huffington; Demi Moore; her cute new
boyfriend; the Oakland Raiders; the late Bob Hope; and Harold R. Wankmilker,
a resident of Nevada who accidentally got on the ballot when he attempted to
pay a California speeding ticket by mail.

Gray's campaign strategy is to remind the voters that if they dump him,
they'll wind up being governed by some wingnut. His opponents' strategy is
to remind the voters that if they don't dump Gray, they'll wind up with:
Gray. Opinion polls show that the voters currently favor Puffington.

But the point is that California is embarrassing itself hugely, and people
are starting to forget about Florida, and all the hard work the Floridians
did to become the top national laughingstock.

      Are you Californian dude? Well, that's your problem. The entire world's been
      mixed up so it's hard to figure out who to vote for etc. Anyway, the shit may
      smell different but in the end it looks like a shity shit. Different feaces,
      different faces. Don't loose yourself!

      Funny thing. It takes an amateur to fix the mess left by
      so called professional politicians.
      It happend in New York. In four years, amateur Giuliani
      was able to clean the mess left by his professional
      predecessors. Give somebody a chance. Homer Simpson for
      governor. It might not get better but certainly it will
      be much funnier.

          thanx brookie. I check this forum daily always hesitating
          to get in. Lately, it's so boring and humorless.
          Unles one wants to participate in the discussion about
          THE MEANING OF LIFE.

        It doesn't work that way everywhere. In Poland for example people don't understand the meaning of professional thus they cannot choose an amateur to clean things up. :)

        btw, do you want to say that dinkins was a professional?

          Professional politician is like professional basketball
          player. They don't go to school to get a degree, but it's
          how they make their living. In that sense, Dinkins was a
          professional. He spent 20 years in politics before
          becoming a mayor of NYC. It used to be in this country
          that first one was succesful in business and then he went
          to politics. Now they go to politics first to become the
          lobbyusts afterwords.

            There are several meanings of professional waco and you are right that he had spent many years in politics before becoming the mayor so he was a professional politician but professional is also often used to mean having the qualities that you connect with trained and skilled people, such as effectiveness, skill, organization etc. therefore judging mayor Dinkins' performance he was an amateur.

              Not Poland???? That would be the first!

              Forget the obfuscations and deceits that lead the country into the bottomless
              pit????

              Sure California looks bed right now. But what do they know about PROFESSIONAL
              POLITICIANS in Poland. Just the sheer volume of scandalous affairs ( some of
              them soooo stupid) would send any Californian to his/her knees.

              Florida... that's entierely different story. The average age of a Floridian is
              about 89 (I think) and the most fightning thing is that those octogenarians
              are allowed to drive. They do not flip you off. They show you a cane as you
              barely miss them on the intersection - taking slow left turn form the right
              lane!!!!! I hate driving there.
