LOCAL GLOAT
A smug happiness descends on Doc40 with today’s news that the voters in California have seemingly proved they’ve finally come to their fucking senses by rejecting a shopping basket of Arnold-Uber-Alles, education-cutting, union-busting ballot initiatives by which Schwarzenegger hoped to extend his power as State Terminator. At time of writing, Proposition 73, which would bar abortions for minors without parental notification was also going down in defeat. The state Republicans had hoped this would be the hook to bring the religious right to the polls in droves, but apparently not so. We can now only hope that this condition of regained reality will toss the Austrian oaf out of office in next year’s Gubernatorial elections.
The secret word is Merriment
CRYPTIQUE – You extra-large political dwarf, you will be dealt a thousandfold retaliatory blow!
I have to say that Wednesday was a very good day for me, too. I practically did the happy dance as each proposition fell, one after the other. I'm just sorry that the two decent propositions, 79 and 80, got tossed out in the mix, but they'll come around in some other guise in the future.
ReplyDeleteBTW Mick, Hi! We haven't heard from each other in quite a while, so I hope that the insanity is at least lowering to a dull roar for you.
