“California” is now a punch line — like Greece. No wonder there’s a mass exodus from the state.

Here’s hopin’ that Chiang docks legislators’ pay, since their budget was bogus from the get-go.

Since it’s murky, Chiang should refuse to pay and let the legislators go to court. Would be fun to see who chooses to participate in the legal action.

@Common Tater: That's up to Controller John Chiang, and he hasn't decided yet.

So I guess this means that the legislature really DIDN’T pass a budget on time and therefore their pay should stop immediately.

Am I right?

Curveball would be a good nickname for Jerry, but I’m afraid that one was already taken in the lead up to the Iraq war.

Ah, toothsucker, so nice to hear from you again.

And you’re still a liar.

Jerry must have read Elwood’s post and decided to throw him a curve just to make him look bad.

Elwood (or is that Hellwad?) said “When he signs the bill Jerry will prove that he is just another lying scumbag like the dimmiecrats…” — so now that Jerry has actually vetoed it (without a signature, mind you) what does this prove about Hellwad?

I think all of you can figure that out on your own…
