As California lawmakers vote today on the proposed $15 billion solution to the $26 billion problem, the Governator may want to consider sticking to the ongoing efforts to make the IOU the common currency. In a state where a “native” is somebody that moved there more than 5 years ago, some of Arnold’s proposals may make even the most diehard transplants think twice about whether or not the California lifestyle makes up for the state’s fiscal idiocy.
Two of the more desperate plans under consideration to save money and sell everything it can to raise cash are releasing up to 27,000 prisoners and allowing new drilling for oil off the coast of Santa Barbara. With the recent passing of tax legislation on medical marijuana in Oakland, the state find itself one step closer to legalizing and taxing pot altogether. At this rate, the true image of the Golden State will be a bunch of baked ex-cons surfing through black sludge on their way back to squatting in foreclosed McMansions.

I like the last sentence – at least a witty 2 cents is better than a non-witty 2 cents. Greg, you’re on your way to being the hero of DB.
The way California should be!! Bakersfield will be the new state capital, sect farms for all the hippies.
There is an awesome picture on another news site of the Governator sitting at his desk wielding a large knife. It’s not on DB though.

Greg- not bad, but the people still demand PICTURES. In this case it could be:
-Alcatraz
-a McMansion
-Pot
-a prisoner
-Arnold
-a surfer
-something to do with bankrupcy
-the Golden Gate Bridge
-an oil rig
-baked ex-cons surfing through black sludge on their way back to squatting in foreclosed McMansions

BESS shoutout. CG cant get enough.
“With the recent passing of tax legislation on medical marijuana in Oakland, the state find(s???) itself one step closer to legalizing and taxing pot altogether.”
Just when I thought you did a good job Greg, you end up making a mistake.
greg nice work
@9 CG can apparently not get enough of BL. We need more details.

They need more Mexicans there. I’ve bee told they pay their fair share of taxes and that would really the state now.
I encourage California to legalize slavery, capture and auction off as chattle all c and d-list celebs. I believe there are plenty of well-heeled northeasterners like myself who would be happy to shell out bucks for Kato Kaelin or some floozy from an old season of Survivor to work around the grounds or the manse. I’ll do my part for helping out my fellow citizens on the left coast.
Greg,
Nice job.
Cal is the canary in the mine for the US.
