I'm starting to become convinced that all those stories about California being the home of evil and the state being likely to break off and fall into the ocean... well, they're probably true.
First of all, you've probably heard all about California's big political turmoil. They're recalling the governor, and chances are, a new governor will be voted in. So, you might be thinking that the worst possible candidate has already made himself known: Arnold Schwartzenegger. But I hate to break it to you... there's worse out there.
Arianna Huffington is considering running for governor. I mean, dear Lord... it doesn't get much worse than her. The woman annoys me with every thing she does or says, mostly because she's a high-and-mighty imbecile who thinks she's the best thing since sliced bread and the savior of the American way of life.
I still remember when she was on
The Daily Show, and I was so incredibly happy when Jon Stewart cut her down to size. After ranting about how people needed to buy her book because it would make people angry enough about the environment to do something -- which she kept repeating over and over again -- Jon finally said to her, "Look, if all these people are buying your book, doesn't that mean that more and more trees are being cut down to make the paper for it?" I was standing in my living room applauding because he not only got a word in edgewise, but it cut her down to size pretty damn quickly... well, quite frankly, she was speechless.
And then we have the stereotypical L.A. women. I really thought that the stories weren't all that true, mostly because I'd fallen in with a good group of people, and a good number of them were women who were pretty level-headed and fun and smart. And then the dating troubles started to ensue... and then, today, while searching through some profiles on JDate, I found someone whose profile started like this and went downhill from there (this is a cut-and-paste, I'm not making this up):
First off, if you're an actor, teacher or waiter, have tons of baggage and make less than $30,000 a year, DON'T RESPOND!! I want a man who has a real job, makes decent money doing it and doesn't overload me with his emotional problems a dozen times a day.
Joooooy.
