Via Flutterby [1], “Gary for Governor! [2]”

Yes, California is in a gubernatorial crisis right now, and everybody is
running for Governor of the land of Shake-n-Bake. Arnold Schwarzenegger has
made noises about running, and Larry Flynt [3] is running (Hustler Publisher
Files in Calif. Recall) [4] and, when you read the article above, so is Gary
“Whatcha talking 'bout, Willis?” Coleman.

This is about as amusing as the FAU (Florida Atlantic University) [5]'s
newspaper/student government scandal [6] over a decade ago. Personally, I'm
hoping Larry wins; he's done more for our Constitutional rights and has run a
very successful business so he stands a better chance of getting California
out of its financial crisis.
