California's Gray Hole

High school students learn about "black holes," those imploding stars that suck in everything around them, including light. Well, the world now has a new phenomenon called a Gray Hole that is swallowing everything in California, including common sense.

We're referring to Democratic Governor Gray Davis and his fabulous, ever-growing budget deficit. He now says the state's budget gap for next year is $34.8 billion and counting, up from a mere $21 billion last month, out of a budget of some $80 billion in total. The new deficit is larger than the budget of every state except New York, and more than the value of California's annual farm commodity sales.

You know, I can find no holes in this article, save one:

We had the chance to solve the problem just last month, and the majority of California voters demonstrated their ignorance or mental incompetance, by re-electing that sh!tbag Davis...

I voted straight-line Republican, and we lost every race that mattered...

There is only one more way I can vote, and that is with my feet. I am moving in three months...

Even though I was born here, lived most of my life here... I can no longer ignore the writing on the wall....

It's time to leave...

I wish I could leave with you. This is no longer the golden state; it is the red ink state. The liberals have destroyed California.

The only good thing about the disaster that is California is that Gray Davis' presidential aspirations are as dead as last week's meatloaf.

It's time for all the left-wing-socialist-utopia Hollywood types to put their money where their mouth is. They shouldn't mind one bit paying for the big government they so vociferously advocate. Paging Tim and Susan. Paging Alec Baldwin. Paging Jessica Lange. Paging Woody Harrelson -- Your bill has come due.

Things need to get so bad that entrenched companies pick up and leave (Intel, HP, etc).

Then will come the decay and depression that socialism brings.
