California going to hell or is it hell already.
Bad things that happened to Caulifornia this year:

1. Recall - a couple of thousand people petitioned to spend more money than they had to recall someone who was elected by millions last year.
2. Governator Ahnuld - the impact of this will be felt for years to come
3. Earthquakes - this is a regular occurence - but the earth opening up a chasm and swallowing houses should always be mentioned
4. Forest Fires - Some really rich people lost everything that they had in one of their houses
5. Mudslides - not the drink, that would be good.
6. Grocery strike limits availability of Mad Cow Burgers for the important bbq season
7. Giant and ballooning debt which will now be paid by legal residents' great-great-great-great-grandkids
8. A serial groper is on the loose and has not been apprehended by authorities
9. Kobe admits to adultery - proving he is a Californian no doubt, however Colorado police believe he is other things
10. After picking up HOF's from other teams for peanuts, questions about whether team chemistry will be screwed in trying to integrate 2 new stars. LA goes wild and concerns about a deterioration are diminished by verbal jabs between the 2 existing stars.
11. No one watches favourite son Ronnie's biopic after it gets moved to cable.
12. Michael Jackson - authorities in Santa Barbara order him fingerprinted and booked on charges of "extreme creepiness, even for California." Neverland Ranch raided and people find nothing more interesting than stuff that came up 10 years ago. MJ's reputation is not changed AT ALL.
13. Transit strike - residents are forced to take their SUV's to work, rest and play
14. Snow - no kidding - in southern california
15. Hollywood controlled RIAA accidently sues a 12 year-old and numerous grandma's for downloading eminem mp3's. Parents across California stop looking for kids' drugs for a while and start looking for imps' in their children's bedrooms.
16. Paris Hilton moves to New York to take advantage of new interest in her talents by the hungry press.
17. L.A. Dodgers with a payroll of over $100 million don't even make the playoffs. Florida with the help of one overzealous fan and $40 mill take the trophy home.
18. While avoiding the large blackout on the east coast in August, did not avoid rolling blackouts any other days of the year.
19. NFL - Raiders go from Super Bowl losers to worst record in the league (tied with San Diego). Niners, also out of playoffs.
20. O.J. still hasn't stopped searching for the real killers, along with Scott Peterson.
I ain't moving there.
