LOS ANGELES, July 22 (UPI) -- Ozzy Osbourne says he will run as an independent to succeed Gov. Gray Davis as California's chief executive.

But the Los Angeles Times noted Osbourne may encounter some criticism over accusations he's a Satanist and animal torturer. During a concert he allegedly bit the head off a live bat. Recently, Osbourne has found fame in a reality television sitcom.

GO OZZY! I predict he will get more than 5% (possibly more than 10% if he runs adds) of the vote.

The way things are stacking up that may be enough to win! OZZY! OZZY!

Recall doofus is getting to be a huge circus.

I think California (recall) and Texas (special session and Democrats on the run) are competing to see who can conduct the biggest circus and make the biggest fools of themselves!

Hollywierd's best writers must be humbled and in awe right now.

I won't be able to capture the entire essence of California economics in one little post late at night, but here goes anyway.

There is a vast diversity of factors in California that makes this state a leader economically. We have the population and we have a climate that is attractive. We have the breadbasket of the world here with our agriculture. We have tourism galore and Hollywood entertainment. The computer industry are tied in with our Silicon Valley and really has/had a foothold here. And that's only the beginning.

There is so much here already. But then there are factors that drive business away. We have heavy taxation, high property values, heavy regulation, and an unstable and unreliable power situation that has driven business away. The dot-coms became busts when people realized most were never going to make a buck.

California's generous benefits, welfare etc. has brought in many who suck up resources without contributing anything back. The politicians are wildly fiscally irresponsible and the voters just keep voting them in as well voting for expensive bond measures without thinking long-term on how the heck we're going to pay them off. Education is poor, roads are not well-maintained, radical environmentalisism cripples progress...

That's just off the top of my head.

The press conferences would be a hoot, as he shuffled up, fumbled for words, told a few people to f*** off, and then started bellowing for Sharon.....

Its the whole mental image - his official business attire would include some of those raggedy assed black sweatpants he wears, white socks and sandals, all while wearing the sunglasses.

Sharon! Sharon! W-W-W-W-W-Where's my ****ing desk? And get these ****ing animals out of here!

and animal torturer,

I discounted that since a quick decapitation would be fairly painless........I'm guessing. ;-)

Would Ozzy do worse than Davis. I don't think so. It's kind of a negative endorsement, but run with it, Ozzy.
