…the Lindsay Lohan of states. One of the many good things about Tuesday’s result is that there is now no prospect for the state to be bailed out by the federal taxpayers. The moronic electorate here is about to have a hard collision with reality.
[Update early afternoon]
What happens when a state goes bankrupt? I guess we’re going to find out, because California (and other states, such as Illinois) are essentially already there.
Or Jerry Brown will be just nutz enough to avoid it. He’s the environmentalist who ordered the entire state covered in insecticide in order to save California agriculture from the fruit fly.
Calling California the “Lindsay Lohan of states” is an unfair comparison. After all, there’s hope that Lindsay can learn from her mistakes. California, not so much.
Wow, I sure hope you’re right. About the collision with reality part.
Larry,
The allusion is apt. Lohan is a chronic substance abuser, media whore, parasite on society, and espouses ill thought and idiotic political ideas. Sounds like California to a T. The primary advantage Lohan has over California is that she is still relatively young, and as you say, has time and opportunity (and positive cash flow) to change her life.
Is New York Amy Winehouse?
