the other day kim sent some of us an email about how we all have to vote for peter miguel camejo for california governor in november. green party i said. ehh what? so today i went and looked at his i-page. i learned many interesting things:
oh really? walnut creek you say? published author? hmmm…..
3 things on his “platform”:
“End addiction by focusing on demand.”
what does that even mean?
“require labeling and regulation of genetically modified foods.”
you mean they’re not doing that now?
should we really be further overcrowding out state? i just don’t know where i stand on this one. my mother substituted at a predominantly spanish speaking school and none of the kids would listen to her and called her a whole bunch of really dirty words and practically drove her to tears. that ain’t cool. i can’t hold with that kind of behavior.
however in this other article, it talks about how “his wife would kill” him if he became govenor. and how he ate at the cheesecake factory. and you know how i love the cheesecake factory. and the whole, ‘voting for him because the other ones are so bad’ theory is starting to sound pretty good.
who knows? i don’t know. i’m not political. i’m like a deep dark hole thru which politics can find no purchase. none. it’s like spelunking. only in the dark. and with very very mossy slime walls and no grips. hmmm…let’s get away from the people spelunking in me image. that’s just not kosher.
Bumper Sticker suggestions:
Jesus Christ. He died for your sins, asshole.
Whatdaya think? I know it’s off topic, but I’m not political either. heh heh.
“should we really be further overcrowding out state?”
oh you make me sad.
maybe we should start by forbidding all those white upper-class midwesterners who come flocking to la to be a star they get on my nerves more than all those pesky spanish kids.
Would you have denied my wonderful mother entrance into the state? You rejected my mother! poor mom.
ah, but she’s small, doesn’t take up much room. certainly never calls carol mean names in spanish.
Yeah, but what about my bumper sticker suggestion, ladies?
Pay attention to me!!! (Stomp Stomp)
dan small died for my sins. unfortunately he then came back to life. but i think he’s died again now. but who knows…he might be re-animated/return to ca. maybe we should bar him entry as an immigrant too? and maybe anyway he only died the once for my sins. maybe by coming back all my sins were thrust back upon me. and maybe because we didn’t get a religiously fervent letter the 2nd time around my sins weren’t absolved the second time? these are the things that worry my poor little head. in between all the random bouts of racism against mexican children apparently.
and btw i’m not saying that people from other states don’t bother me too. the guy with the massachussetts license plate this morning for example. i’m saying illegal immigrants to the country…maybe we shouldn’t encourage it? maybe we should take an austrailan stance and only allow people to enter the country who have useful skills. hmmm though then probably i would be kicked out of this one and have to go live as a whore in buenos aires.
the point of that first paragraph, tracy, was hell yeah, bring on the stickers. maybe we could have a realistic drawing of an asshole?

tracy,
or…
with a can of spraypaint you can have a whole i-5 billboard/trailer with your motto.
Australia is an island. They have a little bit of an easier time keeping people from running (or should I say swimming) across the border. Natural defenses baby. (and I’m done and I’ll fortify)
but how is it we get into australia then? SIAM! maybe they have a problem with siamese twins? hmmm….we are siamese if you please…get off our island! we are siamese if you don’t please…i warn you we’re convicts and we’ve got guns! kitty kitty twining tails kitties.
1. whores have useful skills. so you can stay, ms. buenos aries. so can I, for that matter.
2. mad yell-up to nuala for risk reference. they’re in boats. when we gonna play risk again, my little nerdlettes?
soooonnnnnn…..verryyyy soooooonnn, my precious….(evil steepling of fingers.)
So the bridge will be backed up for god knows how long. Clockstoppers anyone? Who could I watch closckstoppers with while I wait for all those godamn people to get off my bridge? hmmmm I wonder
CLOCKSTOPPERS!!!! YEYEYEYEYEYEYEY!!!! and also the new guy, k? i have to go buy it at best buys. but i will take kristen to her car first. 🙂 see that was why i wanted to meet at your house today, kris, so that then i would be closer to best buys and hence the new guy. and could rent clockstoppers and get the good ice cream at albertsons. oh yes. that was my plan. i forgot all about it.
Re: “end addiction by focusing on demand”:
Instead of going after drug dealers or continuing to send military troops into Central America (supply), he apparently favors trying to make people in California want to use drugs less(demand). This is very idealistic, but the idea is that stopping the flow of drugs into America actually ends up making drug sales more profitable, since equal demand+ less drugs = more expensive drugs.
Part of the standard argument for the legalization of drugs centers around the idea that drug sales aren’t as appealing and lucrative when there’s no longer a black market economy for them. Now, the counter-argument that people would buy more drugs if they were cheaper is probably a solid one, but Camejo’s not totally crazy.
I don’t know what you do to reduce the demand for drugs. Make the suburbs less boring? More hard-hitting ads with those crazy teenagers from thetruth.com? Deport Robert Downey, Jr.?
I just skipped right past all those insightful political comments and focused right on what’s important to me: Risk.
We play Risk now? How about now?
Now?
we play risk sunday? how about sunday? someone’s apt in the city? cough erica or jason cough?
