- Well, there's a chill in the air, a frost on the ground, and a large
- steaming pile of bullshit on the television. Yes, that's
- right, it's election time. Voting in CA should be an absolute
- blast this year, as we have the pleasure of voting on approximately
- 12,000 new "propositions." For those of you who don't live in
- California, a "proposition" is a way for us California slimes to
- participate directly in the democratic process, by allowing anyone who
- has the brains of a lima bean to spend billions of dollars on
- television commercials. My personal favorite is the commercial
- sponsored by the insurance companies, which states that if we don't
- vote for their proposition, all of Western Civilization will collapse.
- (A prospect which concerns me greatly, as then it will certainly be
- much harder to buy beer, and they might even cancel Professional
- Wrestling)
-
- This year, most of our propositions are funded by "General Obligation
- Bonds," which really means "We have no idea how we're going to pay for
- this proposition." Lately, it's become an all-too-frequent occurrence
- to see the Proposition Funding Team searching through California
- streets in search of lost quarters and stuff. (I read an interview of
- Horace Gumley, chairman of the Proposition Funding Committee, who was
- in a particularly ecstatic mood because a Funding Team Member found a
- 5-dollar bill that morning.)
-
- Which brings me to my reason for writing this. Next year, I'd like to
- get my very own "proposition" on the ballot. This proposition would
- state that if you go to a nightclub and some dumb idiot puts out a
- cigarette in your beer, you can legally make that person drink it,
- without having the bouncers throw you out. Not that I've ever done
- anything like that.
-
- If you would like to vote on this proposition next year, write an
- extremely concerned letter to:
-
- Guverner Dukemajuhn
- The Big House in Sacramento
- Sacramento, CA
