kyburgI'm going to do something I do well - make the best of it. And actually, truth be told, there's a lot of good about this recall.
California has now gone on record saying loud and clear - you fuck it up enough, you can be fired. I just wish it was this easy to get rid of a sitting President, and I'm sure that feeling is being echoed all over the country.
Gray Davis is outta here. That's good. Bill Simon did not take his place. That's good. I could go through the State Legislature and pull some real winners who could have run on the Republican ticket - and they didn't replace Davis. That's excellent.
"If we can get television coverage of state government again, that will be a great benefit -- even if they're just covering Schwarzenegger making proclamations," said Nelson. "People in California, outside Sacramento, are almost oblivious to state government. They have very little idea what's going on."
This is good.
A pro-choice, pro-environment Republican who wants to find out where the money went - that's good. The fact he put a proposition on the 2000 ballot that passed with regard to after school programs for kids - with the kicker that the funds earmarked for these programs HAD to be spent on them and no other - that's good.
He can't repeal the car tax. That will be interesting to watch. It was put in place by his Republican predecessors. Let's see what he has to say about that -
Where did all the energy money go, Arnold? George Bush told us to deal with it ourselves, remember? Think you can get a straight answer out of them now?
He's married to one of the most famous cradle-Democrats in history - and it's clear her family is thrilled with this development. I haven't seen Seargent Shriver in years. This ought to be good.
Dumb as dead cats; but entertaining - oh, very entertaining indeed.

And, as for firing someone, can we get rid of Darrel Issa, who's still an Assemblyperson in OC?
