Darrell Issa—an alleged car thief who later made his fortune
selling car alarms—decides he wants to be governor. So he
throws the world's sixth largest economy into utter chaos by paying
bunch of losers to collect enough signatures to invalidate an
election that's not even a year old—right in the middle of the
worst deficit crisis in state history. You can't make this shit
up.

for Governor!
Yes, California is in a gubernatorial crisis right now, and everybody is
running for Governor of the land of Shake-n-Bake. Arnold Schwarzenegger has
made noises about running, and Larry Flynt is running and, when you
read the article above, so is Gary “Whatcha talking 'bout, Willis?”
Coleman.
This is about as amusing as the FAU's newspaper/student
government scandal over a decade ago. Personally, I'm hoping Larry
wins; he's done more for our Constitutional rights and has run a very
successful business so he stands a better chance of getting California out
of its financial crisis.
You have my permission to link freely to any entry here. Go
ahead, I won't bite. I promise.
The dates are the permanent links to that day's entries (or
entry, if there is only one entry). The titles are the permanent
links to that entry only. The format for the links are
simple: Start with the base link for this site: https://boston.conman.org/, then add the date you are
interested in, say 2000/08/01,
so that would make the final URL:
https://boston.conman.org/2000/08/01
You can also specify the entire month by leaving off the day
portion. You can even select an arbitrary portion of time.
You may also note subtle shading of the links and that's
intentional: the “closer” the link is (relative to the
page) the “brighter” it appears. It's an experiment in
using color shading to denote the distance a link is from here. If
you don't notice it, don't worry; it's not all that
important.
