So it seems my state is in good hands. Really.

Bunch of bickering fuckers.

I'm not one to complain, but people are about to not get paid, and Schwarzenegger is going to veto the budget? That's not helpful. I mean, collectively they've bungled this for awhile, but this strikes me as particularly factional and bullheaded in the face of people about to not get paid in the middle of a bad recession.

If people start running riot on the streets and looting (probably won't happen around where I live, but whatever) and we lose civil order, I'm going have to get medieval on people. I doubt it'll get that bad, but this is New York in the 1970s, over here.

Up here in NY (temporary home for the next few months), the state senate is acting like a bunch of fourth graders. There was a coup of sorts with who controlled the Senate, and then - I shit you not - the Democrats and Republicans held parallel sessions with both sides voting on bills with the justification that the other people were in the room.

Last week, someone hid the key to the chamber.

That actually does sound like something we all might have done in fourth grade.

I can't say this enough: it's the people's fault for voting for these rejects.

I remember reading about that, and thinking the same thing. OH NOES! Somebody hid the key!

The rest of America just thinks it's sad and childish.

Somehow I doubt that how they act when there's a "coup" in the senate doesn't factor into their slogans, campaign commercials, or the public eye.

Are there people protesting in the streets over this?
