Haha, lazy
Bitter old lady Becky O'Malley spared us one of her dumb editorials to replace it with a guest editorial, which includes such thoughtful commentary as "I can't figure out the simple voter's guide," "Arnie is a bastard," and "People who disagree with me should go to jail." Anyway, as the highlight, consider:
The key argument "against" Prop. 73 in the voter guide, co-authored by the president of the California Nurses Association, is no on Proposition 73."
Yes.
Here's as good a time as any to comment on Initiative Madness, since I skimmed some of their work. In summary: It sucks. Really. For example, the comments on Prop 75 go along these lines:
People don't have to join a union (of course, they often have to pay fees, but who cares?).
People already have a right to have their funds not go towards political positions (and they would have the right to have their funds be used for that purpose if it passes, but again, who cares?).
The governor tries to promote his cause (which is bad, for some reason, unlike when the unions try to promote their cause).
Like reading parrots? Here's your chance.
This, of course, puts aside issues about "heroin figures" and "Arnie usurping his power" (whatever that means). Look, kids, if you want to start blogs, then start your own blogs and take control of them yourselves, don't just sit there repeating the talking points of one side and call it "demystifying the special election." Take your own positions. Be creative. Pick a theme. This year, my theme was "blatant self-interest."
