California, God Bless It

I was born in the Golden State a thousand years ago, so perhaps I have a greater interest in its doings than others not so blessed. I find it really hard to believe that otherwise sensible human beings would elect a misogynistic pampered Hollywood star whose sole announced policy plan seems to be “I’ll fix it when I get elected; trust me.” For those who think “Hey. They elected Reagan governor, didn’t they?” I say to you, Reagan had been espousing public policy ideas for years before he ran for the office; he was a known quantity. Schwarzenegger is tabula rasa material.
Polls close in a few hours; I sure hope my faith in those voters is well-placed.

  1. We both seem to have lost our faith, but I was really surprised at the margin of victory. I thought it would be much closer.
    I seem to lose more and more faith in the reasonableness of my fellow man each day!

  2. Sorry, I have made my comment above, but I needed to correct my URL–Damn–I thought I had done that some time ago.
    Cubs lost tonight, but there are more games–keep the faith!
