Especially this one from the Los Angeles Times.

Re where Davis receives political contributions: What difference does it make where a prostitute conducts business; the intent is the same anywhere.

That one's funny. This one is simply too true -- and representative of how a great number of Californians feel.

So, it has come to this: a choice for governor between the bumbling nincompoop and the rapacious extortionist. I leave it to The Times' readership to decide who fits those descriptions. I have decided to return to my roots, and "waste my vote" on a minority party candidate who cannot win. That puts my selected candidate in the same shoes as the electorate in this race.

I can't in good conscience vote for either Davis or Simon. I may vote libertarian -- or I may write in Bill the Cat.
