Comments: Why do we pay for legislators?

Though the horsemeat proposition was the most absurd thing to hit the California ballot in awhile, the arguments for and against it in the voter pamphlet caused my first (and likely last) outight guffaw from such a usually dry document.

The opponents, calling the proponents on how ridiculous it all was, titled their statement "Just say "neigh" to prop 6!"

Aaah, I love California. Just not the Californians...

There was a local proposition once that had a rebuttal that made me laugh. It basically said something like, "The person who wrote the argument against this is a Libertarian."

So that makes two funny things in ballot arguments in California history...

I like this comic strip in general, but this particular strip is topical for you.

I'm looking for my cousin Mike Dodd who grew up in Concord because my Aunt Mary needs to see him before she dies. If you are that Mike Dodd, please contact me.
