trying to impeach Clinton, Florida 2000, When's it going to end? The right wing won't rest until they completely destroy our electoral process. Now they're on the verge of replacing a governor who won his office fair and square less than a year ago. Now that you can win with a little as 10% of the votes, candidates are crawling out of the woodwork. What the Hell is Bill Simon doing here? Get it through your fucking skull Bill: the voters hate you more than they hate Davis. Cruz Bustamante is a traitor to his party. Why should any Democrat vote for someone who's a turncoat to his own party? I guess to avoid sending a republican to Sacramento. Arnold? The Dems will smear the Hell out of him for his womanizing, drug use and incoherent/non-existent policies and his penchant for avoiding questions on what plans he has for the state. At any rate, polls are misleading. All those people bitching about Davis are exactly the sort of people who don't show up to vote on election day. Considering what's on the line, I have a feeling Democrats will show up in droves. Maybe we can crush this bullshit recall and send a message to the republicans that they have to win their public offices fair and square.
In my last post about the San Diego Comic-Con, I forgot to mention that I got into an advanced screening of American Splendor. It was one of the best films I've seen this year so far. Funny, touching performances by Paul Giamatti and Hope Davis. American Splendor is based on the comic of the same name, the autobiographical musings of it's protagonist, Harvey Pekar. Pekar also narrates the film and appears as himself. Intercutting between fiction and reality, it plays as a cross between Ghost World and Crumb. It opens on August 15th in select cities and will roll across the country slowly. Check it out.
Our next governor?
