if it wasn't good enough for washington, california will take it

yup, liberal bastion of mis-education berkeley is the proud owner of what is generally regarded as some of the most retarded failure to read the first goddamned clause in the constitution chicanery ever.

California redefines the word friend

yessir, california, ever the vanguard state, has redefined the term friend to include "people who freak out after you die in a hottub from the meth and roofies they fed you".

the 'bou's been pushing the folks he knows in the dictionary business to get with the times on this one.

not one but two

The Bou' noticed that when Forbes released its crappiest cities in the United States of America list that not one but two California cities (surprisingly close to each other) made the list.

Well, congratulations are certainly in order for both Stockton (#1 baby!) and Modesto (will have to settle for #5, but did beat Flint Michigan fer chrissake), but the Bou' wonders if we shouldn't just consider the entire central valley one giant crapasaurus rex of a city, I mean it's only a matter of time before all the orchards are converted to track houses right?

california - where boyscouts kill

it's hard not to appreciate the verve with which california's boyscouts kill animals - stewards of the land, but obviously not the water - here is a great story about california's finest little merit badgers doing their very best to remain above the law while they kill kill kill.

dry humping dolce and gabbana's intellectual property for fun and leisure

Wow. The more quality time the Bou' spends on DJ Donovan's website the more he understands that certain kinds of people are just compulsively drawn to California.

a choice sample of quintessential hucksterism not seen since all the okies blew in from the dust bowl:

For the very first time in DJ Donovan's professional career, he will create a nostalgic collection of his biggest dancefloor anthems that best rocked his dancefloors at all of his most famous parties in 2008. So for all of you who love those certain "Donovan signature songs" that moved you on the floor and had you singing, this is your chance to obtain your Donovan favorites on one private "exclusive" CD collection not available for sale or in store. All of the songs from "THE VERY BEST OF DJ DONOVAN 2008" were performed live by DJ Donovan during his set on New Year's Eve at City Hall. So for those who rang in the New Year's in Donovan's MAIN ROTUNDA ROOM can now take home the actual emotion and nostalgia of your San Francisco City Hall New Year's Eve 2008 experience with "THE VERY BEST OF DJ DONOVAN 2008" CD. Only New Year's Eve at City Hall Ticketholders who purchase 2 or more pictures from Donovan's New Year's Eve @ City Hall photo gallery (coming soon) will receive a COMPLIMENTARY CD copy of "THE VERY BEST OF DJ DONOVAN 2008" mailed directly to their home!

Now the Bou' is going to go wash the slime off his keyboard.

smugness as hell starts freezing

what happens when you want to rub california's awesome weather into everyone's face?

you include a news article that snow actually fell in a little corner of the city and then, to really rub it in, you include a link to the wikipedia page on snow in case no one is SF doesn't know what it is.

you do realize you bought a home in a desert right?

California has a long history of stealing water from other places, but this fine story highlights a rather extra Californian water story:

Developer builds houses in the desert. People buy them. People then figure out they just bought a house in the desert and that in the desert there is no water.

Just desserts? The Bou' sure thinks so, but then again the Bou' always had problems spelling desert and dessert.

when las vegas has to teach california about justice - you know you're screwed

Yep - the Bou's in a bit of disbelief.

California is now relying to Las Vegas to teach it about morality (It's noteworthy that Florida was not up to the task).

Lame? Absolutely.

But at least it came with this awesome picture!

The economy for assholes is going strong in California

Overheard on Lombard Street in San Francisco:

GUY IN BRAND NEW BLACK LAMBORGHINI: (into cell phone) Dude! I just got my new Lamborghini!

GUY ON SPEAKERPHONE: Dude! What color?

GUY IN BRAND NEW BLACK LAMBORGHINI: Black!

(peels out at light)

GUY IN BRAND NEW BLACK LAMBORGHINI: (stopped at next light 1 block away) 560 horsepower!!!

GUY ON SPEAKERPHONE: That's more care than you deserve dude!

GUY IN BRAND NEW BLACK LAMBORGHINI: I KNOW!
