How you explain why California is so far in debt and cannot turn it around,

Texas does it this way.

CALIFORNIA vs TEXAS



California:

The Governor of California is jogging with his dog along a nature
trail. A coyote jumps out and attacks the Governor's dog, then bites the
Governor.

1. The Governor starts to intervene, but reflects upon the movie
"Bambi" and then realizes he should stop because the coyote is only
doing what is natural.

2. He calls animal control . Animal Control captures the coyote
and bills the State $200 testing it for diseases and $500 for relocating
it.

3. He calls a veterinarian. The vet collects the dead dog and
bills the State $200 testing it for diseases.

4. The Governor goes to hospital and spends $3,500 getting checked
for diseases from the coyote and on getting his bite wound bandaged.

5. The running trail gets shut down for 6 months while Fish & Game
conducts a $100,000 survey to make sure the area is now free of
dangerous animals.

6. The Governor spends $50,000 in state funds implementing a
"coyote awareness program" for residents of the area.

7. The State Legislature spends $2 million to study how to better
treat rabies and how to permanently eradicate the disease throughout the
world.

8. The Governor's security agent is fired for not stopping the
attack. The State spends $150,000 to hire and train a new agent with
additional special training re: the nature of coyotes.

9. PETA protests the coyote's relocation and files a $5 million suit
against the State.

TEXAS :

The Governor of Texas is jogging with his dog along a nature
trail. A coyote jumps out and attacks his dog.

1. The Governor shoots the coyote with his State-issued pistol and
keeps jogging. The Governor has spent $0.50 on a .45 ACP hollow point
cartridge.

2. The Buzzards eat the dead coyote.

And that, my friends, is why California is broke and Texas is not.

I could believe that story.

Nearly true,  but the truth is that the news media spends the next 6 months crucifieing the governor for shooting the poor coyote and for even being allowed to carry a state issued weapon.  The end result is that the governor ends up in a recall election and is mandated to take environmental awareness classes so that he will be more sensitive to nature!!

Somedays our state is great, somedays, I wonder.

I really like TEXAS! Scratch that, I LOVE TEXAS.


Headed there for 3 weeks come the first of the month. Too bad we are taking teh family so that means CAR trip. Damn. But I will be carrying, family trip I carry and don't even think about the legality of it. Rather be caught by the PoPo with a gun then caught by some creature full of evil intent without a gun.

This economy really is killing so many peoples lifestyle, not just in Kaliforniastan.
