Vote for Gary Coleman. At least then when they go after him, his comeback will be a note worthy sound bite :>)

Vote for your own write-in candidate, Kirk! Hmmm...now who would be suitable. Maybe Mickey Mouse or Goofy??!!

Now, now, remember Ronald Regan really didn't do a bad job there.

Reagan? You're kidding right? what did he do that was a good job??

Kirk . . . I'm shocked . . . you, an immigrant basher?

Just joshing guy - you're way better than that. California politicians - what are you going to do with 'em? Maybe vote for the stripper - at least you know you will be **rewed by a professional.

I really shouldn't be talking . . . right now, my state has the distinguised honor of politicians walking out and staying in New Mexico so as to avoid voting on measures they don't agree with.

BTW, the stripper quip above was not my observation (I'm not smart enough to make that up) . . . I read it on a another Bboard and thought it pretty well summed up my thoughts on the matter. :^)

Another take on the Texas situation: legislators refusing to participate in a repeated illegal right-wing attempt to hijack the state.

Makes about as much sense as most political stuff these days...

Hey, Arnie's married to Maria Shriver. He can't be all that bad, can he? 8-)

Just hope you dont end up on death row with Arnold as gov. Bad enough to be getting ready to be popped without getting a stay of execution reply that says "Hasta LaVista Baby, your not coming baaaack" :>)

Actually you'd probably be in bigger trouble if GW were the gov, since he holds a record for murdering murderers, you know, to show them how wrong it is to murder?

Doesnt really bother me what goes on in California. Wonder if someone will think to play the state song on a caliope at the polls? I'll be watching the circus for entertainment as most all of the nation.

The Huffingtons are interesting people. 1st he runs for Gov and trys to buy his way in spending millions of his fortune. He loses and comes out of the closet. Ariaina gets pissed divorces the jerk then goes on a 2 year slugfest slamming all liberals. Then one day she finds compassion and turns instead bashing ALL conservatives. She went from huge SUV to a small hybid. Of course she sounds wonderful now but I don't think she gets very many votes.......Course there is that stripper!!! ......kirk

I just love her......watch her on Bill Maher's show all the time, and so forth....She's hysterically witty and good at zinging her opponents, and terribly bright and familiar with the issues. I sent her money!! Perhaps Arianna could be convinced to strip? ;)

Yea she has a column at Salon that I never miss. I love what she has to say. Just a hint of mistrust tho. Do you have any idea why she changed so radically EM? .....

With as many running, it would be a hoot if they spread the vote so thin that Davis gets to finish out his term. Then they get to add the cost of a worthless election to their deficit. :>)

-- Anonymous, August 10, 2003

Yeah Jay, it would, but my understanding is that it isn't set up that way. It's a two question ballot: first question is yea or nay to whether Davis should be recalled. Second question is, if enough Californians think he should be recalled, who should replace him?

I don't like Davis; he's just another corporate toady phony democrat as far as I'm concerned, but the repubs are once again displaying their lack of sportsmanship by this recall. They refuse to accept defeat, and when they lose, they play dirty, either by what they did to Clinton for 8 freakin years, or this sort of thing.

I think it's cool though that the CA system is set up in such a populist way; any ol body can run for office, and I think that's how it should be.

Kirk, my understanding of the timeline on Arianna's life is different than what you stated, so I'm gonna check to see if I had something wrong. I'll get back to you on that........

I thought I heard on the radio this weekend that there's something like 500 people on the ballot now? Please tell me that I misheard! That ballot is going to look like a phone book!

-- Anonymous, August 11, 2003

Nah, more sensationalism, Sherri. There WERE like that many expressing interest or something, but I think about 150 qualified, and it will be pared down considerably before the vote.

-- Anonymous, August 11, 2003

Just heard on NPR that the CA ballot may be about a dozen pages long! :)

Think of all the trees that are being sacrificed to print those ballots :>)

yes, hopefully they are using recycled paper!

Sheesh. Just think if this re-call were being held in Florida! What a ballot nightmare....

Hey, can we re-call Shrub? Let's put 200 million Americans on the ballot and see if it flies!!!

excellent idea

247 contestants as of today! Our poor counties are stuggling to figure out how to pay for the election. Maybe they should write the names on toilet paper. Do the voting in our public bathrooms? Heck then re-cycle WIPE with the results!!!!! Hey I'm on to this!

The only good thing is that rich repubican who started it has dropped out! Ha! He may need to avoid the lynch mob before this one is over....Kirk

thanks EM!! I've been looking for some info on her so I'll check it out......

Hey Kirk, maybe you could send one of those candidates over here to Indiana to replace our poor governor. Isn't there a stripper on the ballot? Maybe she could change the law in Indiana so we can buy alcohol on Sunday. :)

Actually Governor OBannon is a very nice guy and it's a sad situation. He's one of those sweet country gentlemen who can disagree with someone without making them an enemy. And our poor Lt Governor was just about to quit politics and buy a minor league baseball team, now he's stuck being Governor for the next year and a half.

-- Anonymous, September 09, 2003

Yeah, that's a sad thing, sherri. I can think of a few politicians who deserve it more than him, can't you?

Well congratulations, Kirk, ol boy! Y'all in Caleefornee have now gone one way better than Minnesnowta in the elect-a-celebrity-with- testosterone-overload department!

How incredibly depressing.
