"I want to pump you up," "clean house," and then hang you out to dry...

This whole state and local politics thing has been new for me. Up until the recall I've never really cared--I know I know local politics are much more important shame on me. Well I'm finally getting into the action. You know knowledge really does keep people out... when you don't know what's going on its hard to get your foot in the door cause you feel overwhelmed and stupid... but once you're in for some reason all that stuff just seems to fade away. Anyways my point was I really think CA voters are in for a ride; this fiasco isn't over yet. The Schwarzenegger campaign was a fraud (okay every campaign is a fraud) and the only people to be irritated at are the voters. When I talk to most people who voted for Schwarzenegger they have all these delusions about him and how he's gonna run government. Well let me let you in on a secret; most the things people hate(ed) about Davis and "insiders" were/are systemic and you'll see all the same shit from anyone in office. Schwarzenegger is already taking in money (what happened to Mr. Clean?) Now take a look at the replacement whose supposed to lead the changes in the budget... funny... she likes all Cali's old tricks--will we get something different? I don't think so... we'll just have to wait and see.
