*sigh*....all this is because of a perceived problem with the way the budget is being controlled...so they throw a circus that is estimated to cost $63,000,000 MORE...and that they are not sure they can pull off (read, Florida³), in order to give 3-4 other politicians and 192 publicity seeking dingbats the opportunity to sit in the the hot seat with maybe a 12% plurality and FIX things?

The only thing that can 'save' California now is "The Big One" ...the eatrthquake that has been expected for 20+ years now.....that would bring the whole country to California's aid, and distract attention from this travesty of the Democratic process. (No..I don't really hope for that!)

If you had submitted this scenario to a TV sit-com show, they would have laughed you out of town. But...here we go, folks...*grin*...
