I have found the perfect party to run California
The United States National Official Monster Raving Loony Party!

http://usloonyparty.tripod.com/

Now call me what you will but every time I hear about the goings on in CA at present I cannot help but think of them. Here is some of their manifesto.

http://usloonyparty.tripod.com/manifesto.html

TECHNOLOGY Have you ever been using a personal computer, when for no apparent reason, it tells you that you have performed an “illegal operation” or made a “fatal error”? Even worse, it makes a silly noise to point out to you how stupid you have been! Well, the USNOMRLP believes that computers need to be reminded that they work for us!! After all, they wouldn’t know anything if they hadn’t been told it in the first place, would they? The USNOMRLP will work towards re-educating uppity computers to show more respect for their users, andthose which refuse to tow the line may be incarcerated in a secure facility until such time as they apologize. Oh, and another thing, the USNOMRLP is fed up with all those infuriating electronic beeps, buzzes, pips, nips, pleeps, plops, etc. which seem to come at us from all directions. We will pass legislation to standardize them, perhaps to a simple bell ring so it is not so darned confusing.

EMERGENCY PREPAREDNESS In areas prone to hurricanes, the USNOMRLP proposes to form the Federal Approaching Hurricane Relief Team (FAHRT).
FAHRT will issue everyone living within one-half mile of a threatened coastal area with a personal fan (you know, the ones you can get in the dollar stores-they take two 1.5 volt batteries and you can slip them in your pocket).
When weather monitoring organizations announce the impending arrival of a hurricane, all FAHRT members in that area will line up along the beach and as the hurricane approaches, they will activate their fans. The resulting rush of wind will stop; the offending hurricane in it’s tracks and send it scurrying back from whence it came.

HMO REFORM All employees, especially CEO’s and administrators, of Health Maintenance Organization’s should be required to participate in their HMO they represent.

3. he will be missed
I saw the Monster Raving loony Party manifesto before(smaller class sizes-make students sit closer together)--it was the best. I would vote for them in a heartbeat.

There is a Cat in their 'shadow' cabinet!
RIP Lord Sutch.

5. Sensible policies for a happier California.......
"We're for the abolition of slavery, free corsets for the under-5s and the compulsory serving of asparagus at breakfast....."

"Now a lot of reasonable people will agree with your stance on asparagus, but what's this about the abolition of slavery?"

"Oh, we just put that in there for a laugh!"

:-)
