===========
In the context of the other OT political rants

Shakespear in King Henry IV, Part 2, ACT IV. SCENE V. has the
King tell the Prince [his John McCain?]
"Be it thy course to busy giddy minds
With foreign quarrels, that action, hence borne out,
May waste the memory of the former days."

I suggest that the promotion of domestic discord, AKA "wedge
issues," now serves the same function, when the "foreign
quarrels" methodology begins to wear thin.

The state of California still does not have a budget. The state
of California and many of its subdivisiond/components teeter on
the edge of bankruptcy and default. [Anyone remember Orange
County and their economics astrologer?] The legislative process
of the state of California is out of control, even with term
limits. And the best their judiciary, and by extension their
legislature and administration can do is get involved with this
sort of BS!!!!!!!!!

==>Unfortunately, California is unique among the American states
only in that it is first,<== and many other states are now
following their example, by devoting huge amounts of
legislative/administrative time, effort, and attention to such
critical issues as designating the "the official state rock,"
rather that addressing such "minor" problems as passing a current
balanced budget [required under most state constitutions],
chronic budget shortfalls, pension under funding [in several case
into the billions, e.g. San Diego], infrastructure deterioration
[to the point of literal structural failure], rampant corporate
tax evasion [e.g. SWB and Dell in Texas], and gross abuse of the
imminent domain process.

WHEN WE DON'T GET WHAT WE WANT, WE GET WHAT WE DESERVE.

Good question, Ed, and of course google immediately says
Serpentine or Serpentinite if you search with the words
California's official state rock, and the Wikipedia entry
shows that California has not only an official State Rock,
but also has an official State Mineral, State Stone, and
State Gemstone (gold, jade, benitoite respectively), but
just two little problems ... first, such a question is
totally off topic in several of the six newsgroups such as
alt.aol.tricks, alt.aol, and alt.usenet.kooks that this
thread is crossposted to, and secondly, (a problem for
George's point) CA designated their State Rock clear back
in 1965 so it seems unlikely to be a current topic except
in such serious newsgroups as r.c.m.

Nothing is off topic for alt.aol.tricks though you might like it to be.

IIRC San Diego (among others) raided their set-aside pension funds.
Don't expect any pensions later if you are there.

Hmmm .... don't give any more good free ideas.
The "George W. Bush Sewage Plant" .... already in the works
by the Presidential Memorial Commission of San Francisco.
"The measure would change the Oceanside Wastewater Treatment Facility to the
George W. Bush Sewage Plant on Jan. 20, 2009, inauguration day."

Sounds like George will get the last laugh after all. And get to rub it
into the face of SFO for years when they have to do repairs on, or update it
or extend or this or that.....

Puss will flow in the gutters for years. Sore wounds will stay that way.

Political Correctness is a doctrine fostered by a delusional,
illogical liberal minority, and rabidly promoted by an
unscrupulous mainstream media, which holds forth the
