The next head of California...

I must admit being amused at the circus currently going on in California. Arnold S. declared that he will run for Governor of the state -- not really a surprise since it has been a strong possibility for a couple of weeks now. The surprise is that he may be running against Gallagher (the comedian) and sit-com star Gary Coleman. I think the US is generally upset with professional politicians (which is why Jesse Ventura was elected), but how many non-politicos have the combination of time/desire/money to enter the race?

Maybe I should run for office. I know next to nothing about running a government, but I've been portraying a mayor at the Ren Fest for a few years now...

Java for dictator! (or whatever we call the person running Maryland)

I'll vote for Java! You probably have a much better idea about how to run things that the current inhabitant of the mansion. The idea that $ out and $ in needs to balance seems to be missing from his brain. Along with the idea that investment is good, squandering is bad.

OK, I'll step back from the soap box.

Regarding Gallagher ... "The only problem with political jokes is that they get elected."
