Adventures in Creative Governance

Courtesy of Think Progress, the text of California Governor Arnold Schwarzeneggar's letter to the State Assembly explaining his veto of a piece of legislation:


As you might guess, this tickles us just a little bit.

  1. "Kicks the can down the alley"?

  2. Reading through the good governor's message, I'm wondering if
    our little blog might follow suit with this level of equal
    boorishness and cleverness.

    So, I think every comment for this particular post should
    uniformly present first-letter messages and insults, if you're
    capable of such skill; if not, please know that you can
    keep lurking along silently like Dan did before his
    sack dropped.

  12. Doesn't sound like Agassi was a meth head. Sounds like he tried it once, it was awesome, and then he got caught. Lied to get out of it (the idiotic "I drank my friend's soda"), came clean 12 years later.

  13. maybe you can tell me how your
    only-present-first-letter messages
    ruse is working out, whit.
    or did you stop doing it
    now?

  14. and you sadly
    messed it up on
    attempt number one anyway,
    toolbox.
    even i managed to
    unleash a try, albeit a very
    rough cut

  15. I read that he used meth dozens of times. He hurt his wrist, plummeted in the rankings, was miserably married, and said "fuck it" and started doing meth.

  16. Tough as it may be to create a witty, pithy, and original "initial letter" post, I expect more from this outstandingly well-educated crew of miscreants, lazy though you may be. Perhaps one day your skills shall equal mine.

  17. The "preview" button sucks. As does my initial letter comment.

  21. This seems like one of the days we'll all gloss over when ESPn finally produces a G:TB: SportsCentury.

    Or maybe some of us are doign meth and will admit to it 12 years later?

  22. One more thing: I wish my parents had been as gullible as the ATP. First, that one guy gets off on a failed cocaine test by saying he "must've kissed a girl in a Miami club who had done some" and now we hear that Agassi got a pass on his failed meth test by saying he drank from somebody else's drink?

    Jesus, is there no excuse too flimsy for the hermaphrodites at the ATP?

  23. Frankly, it's Blogger's fault. I
    understand that people's screens
    can vary in size, but it shouldn't
    keep people from seeing my wit.

    Oh, well. It was a dumb idea
    for me to propose in the
    first place. never mind.

  24. i was just about to write something...i'll go back to lurking silently.

  25. You said it, Dan. (get it?)

  26. Everyone who works for Ford should jam themselves.

    I'll be watching Top Chef in about 36 minutes, so I'll jam myself too.
