The California Crisis Could Have Been Avoided

By Greg Michaels

It seems inexcusable that after all the IOU issuance and bickering about how to solve California’s budget mess, the solutions were there the entire time. Had Arnold tuned into a seemingly innocent city council meeting in Santa Cruz last year, he would have found the magic bullets for problems such as agricultural reform and commercial real estate. He would have also been clued into the disparities between the slave-based East Coast economy and the more union-centric West Coast economy.

    We have Greg’s mom to thank for Greg not being “avoided.”

    Unwatchable video. And completely unrelated to Finance and Wall Street.
    I’m normally not a greg hater, but man, that one really missed the mark.

    Don’t point out the dirty little DB secret man. You’ll get flamed so bad for that!

    Greggie -
    Remember, bullies use hatred and intimidation to mask their insecurity. They’re really jealous of you.
    Now please come rub my bunions.
    Love,
    Mom

    “Growing food is so good for the people… because it’s free. Alls we have to do is pay the farmers. And pay for the land. But why do we have to pay for the land? The land is free, it’s new land, you know? I mean do we have to pay for the land? Do we have to pay rent, do we have to pay….? I mean, the food is free, so we should just sell it… at the farmers’ market.”
    I hope they transitioned into something about the education budget.

    @12,
    Nice. Devastatingly succinct. The visual of a reader being more entertained by popping in to DB and staring at a blank entry as opposed to a Greg post is viciously hilarious.
    @13,
    Thank you for proving that Greg Mom jokes still have mileage left on them as long as they are tweaked properly. ‘Bunions’!!!

    Why wait for Cali to secede? Can’t we just kick them out of the Union and let them fend for themselves already?

    when bess reposts something – i agree – where are the detractors? because the eunuchs who worship her have never talked to a live girl

    Principal: Mr. Madison, what you’ve just said is one of the most insanely idiotic things I have ever heard. At no point in your rambling, incoherent response were you even close to anything that could be considered a rational thought. Everyone in this room is now dumber for having listened to it. I award you no points, and may God have mercy on your soul.
    Billy Madison: Okay, a simple “wrong” would’ve done just fine.
