I guess everybody not totally abstinent from politics on this planet has heard
about the recall of California's governor and the rather peculiar events
surrounding it.

It seems that present Governor Gray Davis has interplanetary ambitions:

"....he got caught up when someone asked him to explain his "vision for the
state." "My vision is to make the most diverse state on earth, and we have
people from every planet on the earth in this state. We have the sons and
daughters of every, of people from every planet, of every country on earth,"
he said. Davis' stumbling on this question may have come from fatigue,..."

Oh Karl, now look what you've gone and done.

Fantastic.

27 years as a Martian sleeper agent wasted thanks to you noticing that.

Now I will have to liquidate the whole planet.

Then, no doubt, I'll be posted back to the Pluto office.

I hate Pluto, nothing but ice and extremely lost penguins.

Most disguntledly,

I happen to be living through this "process". True Democracy in action. Makes
me pine for a monarchy (of course I would be in the peerage)

Well, California did once have a governor (Jerry Brown) whose nickname was
"Governor Moonbeam," So Davis is just following precendent.....

LOL! Or not.

I miss California's funny (both meanings of the term) politics.
