Governor recall headed to California ballot
Granted, I am not from California, I don't follow California politics closely, but what's up with this? If you don't like the guy who got elected, now you don't even need an excuse or an independent prosecutor, you can just pump money into campaigning to getting rid of him? Am I the only one who thinks this is a corruption of democracy? I understand not being happy with elected officials, but if I tried to force a recall of certain public figures, I think I'd be receiving a visit from the Department of Homeland Security or worse.
By the way, I'd like to say I think my own political party is too honorable to try this, but really I just think they're too dumb. And broke.
BUT I'M STILL IN A GOOD MOOD DAMMIT!!!
