Ham trees. This bill needs to mandate that everyone grow a ham tree in their yard. And subsidize flying unicorn farms. That means subsidies for the production of magic pixie dust to power thier flying unicorns. Of course the magic pixie dust will be produced “somewhere else” and delivered to Californians in unlimited quantity at no cost.
Just like they think happens with electricity.
“Just like they think happens with electricity.”
They may have small concentrations of fairly sharp people, but several years ago (during the Exxon crisis) a survey discovered that a good number of Californians believe that electricity came from “Power Points”.
I know that some people reading this are, or were until they retired there, hard-working Californians who paid their taxes and took care of their own business. If you live there and pay taxes there, you are supporting and feeding the monster, and that monster adversely affects the rest of the country.
Is that anything like the California bacon trees?
Jose was always hearing from his cousin Felipe in Bakersfield about Felipe's neighbor down the road who had a bacon tree.
"Felipe," says Jose, "there ees no such thing as a bacon tree."
"Come and visit, I will show eet to you."
So Jose went to see him. They walked down the road to the neighbor's. Felipe points and says, "See, there eet ees."
Jose walks into the yard looking. Suddenly, a shot rings out and Jose drops like a rock. Felipe flings himself into the ditch. He hears Jose moaning and calls out to him,
"Jose, are you all right?"
Jose shouts, "I was right, eets not a bacon tree. Eets ..."
"What eez eet Jose?"
"Eets a ham bush."
"Ceterum censeo 0bama esse delendam."
