It's impossible for a satirist to improve upon the farcical situation facing voters in California.
The upcoming recall election features some 135 candidates, arranged in a random order by bingo-hoppers across the state, which include a porn "star," an Austrian weightlifter best known for playing an animatronic murderous robot and the even less life-like sitting governor, Gray Davis....

Another controversial bill supported by Latino leaders may arrive soon on the desk of Gov. Gray Davis, though the embattled politician has yet to state his position on the issue.

SACRAMENTO – As the Legislature makes the usual last-minute rush to pass dozens of bills before leaving the Capitol until January, two things are different this year.
