This California recall is getting tooooooo funny. The Los Angeles Times reports tonight:
Cruz Bustamante today "proposed a constitutional amendment that would bring the [oil] companies under state regulatory control by defining the product as a public utility.

Comparing the actions of international oil companies to those of the electric industry, he said the amendment would bring gas prices under the watch of the Public Utilities Commission, allowing it to check price hikes and stockpile greater reserves.

"Californians are being gouged, and under current law we are powerless to do anything about it," said Bustamante, speaking in front of a Sacramento gas station.

If I were Bustamante I wouldn't go around in California talking about being powerless!

Ha Ha!

I had a conversation with a friend a few days ago concerning one of Bustamante's more bizarre views

She heard he believes we should give California and Texas back to the Mexicans, because we esentially stole those states. I don't have the source for his goofy remarks, but I wouldn't be surprised to find out they're true.

The man is a nut.
