I think there should be a vote in some eastern states’ assemblies to urge the Congress to rename California as “Douchebaggia”.

Any other suggested names, FReepers?

My personal vote is to change the name of California to Ditzlandia.

Nah. Ditzyland.

I hereby declare that the city of San Francisco will henceforth be “Butt-Hump Bay,” that California will be known as “Granolaland,” and that the chief executive of said state will be “The Goobner,” addressed as “Your Goobness.”

Let it be so.

I need to move to Cali.

It's obvious that things there are so good that their leaders can deal in the trivial, rather than any truly pressing matters.

The name of the SF Giants is unfair to short people.

I live here, and this type of thing warrants your suggestion.

No doubt about it, the idiot low lifes in my capital screw things up as badly as any government body I’ve ever seen.

The California legislature should spend their time on more important issues, like banning plastic grocery bags and allowing boys to take showers with girls in the public schools, etc. /s
