Poll: "Do you agree that this is the way for the 'public' to run a state government?

[Cincinatus' Wife]

So the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, led by longtime Democrats Kweisi Mfume and Julian Bond, went to court to block this election, claiming that minorities would be disenfranchised. Apparently Mfume and Bond prefer total disenfranchisement.

-Total Recall- the Gray Davis Soap Opera--

What's really bothering these folks is that they can't control the process. The public has taken charge, and the liberal elite can't stand it.

Truer words rarely spoken!

They include a smut peddler who cares, Larry Flynt. Now, if you think about it, is Flynt really that much different from Bill Clinton?

Well, Flynt is, to some extent, a Capitalist.

BTW, just to comment generally?

I have long been fascinated by the macrocosm/microcosm relationship-- how events great and small seem to mirror each other. Our tiny city of Brunswick ( about 16,000 souls ) has been going through the process of trying to recall the Mayor and the entire City Commission, for possible criminal malfeasance in squandering tax money.

How it will play out is anyone's guess- the recall, which I posted here, was killed off by the local board of elections ( part & parcel of the problem ) ruling that there weren't enough valid signatures to force a recall.

Since then, a suit has been filed in civil court, and the Governor has ordered an investigation into the possible mis-spending of city funds.

Moreover, between 1998 and 2001, state spending increased more than 35 percent.

I feel sorry for you conservative CA's. It looks like Atlas is going to Shrug, no matter what "governor" emerges from this circus. Take heart, though, I don't think we AZ's are far behind you. With our own influx of illegals, and our importing of West and East Coast Liberals, who will continue to re-create the conditions that they have fled, we'll be right behind you. Liberals are stupid, they will never learn. When they're slipping under the water of Socialism, drowning, they will still be crying, "Socialism is Good! You just didn't do it the way we Smart People would have! You Racist Capitalists are to blame!"

Punks.
