zaichikarkyI can't believe Arnold's our effing governer. It's like he won by a land slide. At first they were saying that it could take as long as 2 weeks... amongst 135 candidates, that'd make sense, right? Nope, one hour after the polls closed they were near certain the governer was chosen. You know, I really never realized the system was so fucked until now. The guy bought his way into office, there's no other way to explain it. And hey, at least I put an attempt into it. In Santa Rosa, I registered to vote *there*, I don't know how that went, didn't get my forms down there. When I came here, I fucked up on my forms(including address ^_^*) so they sent me one of those classic "you didn't fill crap in so you get to do it over again!" papers. I got the same thing from the DMV. I went down there anyway and said I registered for another city.... and voted AGAINST the effing recall >:o. Hopefully they won't disqualify me from the next election.
I feel sorry for Davis, really. It's not his fault all the scandels happened during his term. He didn't know the extent of the damage. The whole notion of the recall was fucked. Disregarding the 40 or so percent of Californians who ACTUALLY voted during the last election, the rest of us *didn't* vote and then threw a fit when the result of the defefit was brought out to us. The VOTERS picked him, so apparently that gives some political opponents the right to change their minds? It's a SAD state of affairs. So really, will there be recall after recall after recall when the ignorant masses finally realize "Oh, this guy never had any political experience, why did we elect him as our governer?" I was hoping that the economy might turn when I got out of college so the outlook on job placement wouldn't be as grim as it is now... but this is just distressing.
