A Farce! So, according to Drudge, Ahnold is poised to win and win big. So of course the outcry will be swift and inevitable. “You idiots! Why did you elect this man??” People will tend to think that California voters are stupid. I disagree. I think that by voting for someone who is clearly a bit of a buffoon with a mishmash of ideas, the masses are expressing their dissatisfaction. It is the equivalent of shopping for underwear, trying on hundreds of pairs, and finally throwing up your hands in frustration and buying the most uncomfortable G-string you can just to spite the frustration you feel. OK, maybe it is not like that at all. But it is a way of saying politics are a joke, politicians are scum, so if you insist on making a farce of this, then here you go: a new court jester. I am among the silent majority who would vote for Mr. T if he ran and chuckle to myself that I gave our corrupted system the finger. Perhaps a lot of Californians are with me. Perhaps they all just think Ahnold is the smartest man alive and will create a utopian society in California. Or they could not read the butterfly ballot. All in all, I am rather disappointed. I would have liked to have seen a really bitter court battle to distract the state even more. Oh, and vote Laurence Tureaud in 2004!!
