A joke, yes. We will laugh in the car.
Biggest surprise on the big day... A college kid was the first name on the ballot. Hats off to Daniel Watts, who I hope by some fluke of voter laziness becomes the next Governor of the world's sixth largest economy. I'm a bit bummed that I just noticed that Kurt E. "Tachikaze" Rightmyer, a middleweight sumo wrestler and Bruce Margolin, a marijuana legalization attorney also ran. I loath Arnold Schwarzenneger for running. He ruined a really cool election. I mean we could have had some really interesting guy/gal as governor and he had to wipe them all out, forcing me to vote for Bustamante.
A couple of names also caught my eye as vote worthy just due to the uniqueness of their name (this afterall would have been the chief and only reason to vote for me had I come up with the three grand to register as a candidate --Howie "Hardcore" Bag-a-donuts): Nathan Whitecloud Walton, David Laughing Horse Robinson, Reva Renee Renz, Dick Lane, Edward "Ed" Kennedy, Trek Thunder Kelly, Michael Jackson, S. Issa, Ivan A. Hall, Rich Gosse, Lorraine (Abner Zurd) Fontanes, Cheryl Bly-Chester, Vip Bhola, Badi Badiozamani, Mary "Mary Carey" Cook and Iris Adam.
Absentee voting should be ruled unconstitutional. If you can't get your fat cargo to the polls, taking part in the truly American institution of election day, then you shouldn't be allowed to vote. If a US Senator can't make it to the Floor then they don't get to vote, why should you? If you're currently residing in Guam or Florida but still want to vote in California, then get here, pay taxes and vote. It's that simple. Arnold already has the election won by the two million absentee voters. If those voters had waited until today and had seen all the negative press around Arnold's groping charges and his refusal to answer any questions until after the election (he knows he already won), I doubt they (the absentee voters) would have voted him in.
