Yesterday's News

The big news was yesterday’s election results and our acting governor is trying to recover from his defeat. I hope he is thinking about not running for governor in 2006. It’s true that we don’t pay him anything right now, but if he runs, he may want to get paid for the next 4 years. That would be robbery! Right now it’s fair; we pay nothing and we get nothing. And when it comes to robbery, we shouldn’t forget the state legislators. They have a lower rating in the public opinion polls than the governor; only 25% of the populace believes they are doing a good job. And we pay them! There’s an old saying, “You get what you pay for.” Obviously that doesn’t apply to the legislature

If Arnold does go ahead with his plans and runs for governor, there is a good chance that he will win, despite his poor performance. The citizens of California have a history of electing actors, with decidedly disastrous results.
