Plugging the deficit, personally

The election isn’t until Tuesday, but I’d like to thank Meg Whitman for the public service she’s rendered in personally trying to plug California’s deficitĀ  by buying goods and services here. She’s still slightly shy of spending $150 million of her own money as promised, but as I said, there are still two days to go. I thank her, and so do all the printers and caterers and designers and consultants (including one who’s billing $90,000 a month). We never believed you were a fiscal conservative anyway, and we know you don’t care about democracy since you’ve never voted. But when you promised to fix California’s deficit, clearly, you truly meant to do all you could. Personally.

    I’d take the low road here if I were impulsive and say that Meg looks a bit like a frumpy 5th grade teacher.

    But that would be giving a bum rap and a bad name to 5th grade teachers everywhere…

    Best line said by an opponent of Meg Whitman: “Please don’t vote for the Quaker Oats guy.”
