LOS ANGELES - Millions of fans from around the globe gathered along Sunset Boulevard to pay final respects to California today, as a slow moving funeral procession transported the eccentric superstar state's remains to its final resting place in a Winchell's Donuts dumpster in Van Nuys. The self-proclaimed 'King of Pop Culture' died last week at 160, in what coroners ruled an accidental case of financial autoerotic asphyxiation. The death sent shock waves across the world and sparked an outpouring of grief by rabid fans.
"I don't care what the tabloids and the Wall Street Journal say," said a weeping Illinois. "I still love you, Cali!"
The 640-mile long funeral parade route was lined with flowers, candles, teddy bears, and IOUs from millions of mourners and debtors who made the somber journey to watch the passing of the state that had once ruled the box office and industrial charts. Among them were current chart-toppers who cited California as a key influence.
"If it wasn't for California, I wouldn't be where I am today," said Arizona of Westside 3, the popular sunbelt trio who recently benefited from the late state's generous gift of fleeing taxpayers and businesses. As a tribute to their mentor, Arizona vowed the group would start spending money "like crack-addled hip hop stars."

I have been laughing with the Hawk for years and this is IMHO one of his best efforts ever.
Further compounding the star’s finances, in the mid 80s, California decided to take in his friend Mexico. Mexico soon invited his whole family and soon made a mess of California’s ranch, while at the same time demanding that California feed Mexico and his family. Not wanting to seem anti-friendly, California gave in to Mexico’s demands, but soon ran into trouble when Mexico and his family started to control California’s finances, thus enriching Mexico, but putting California in the poor house.
The R are faced the wrong way on that flag.
Better?
Bump!
For the man from Los Angeles who called Rush’s show today talking about the city taxes he is expected to pay- retroactively, no less, when the local bureaucrats decided to change his business status:
LEAVE!!! There are many places in the USA where you can find a decent property, and run your business.
