We'll remember it for you wholesale or give me my money back you bitch. Philip K. Dick and Ben Folds.

I couldn't decide on the title the first being the short story on which Total Recall was based and the latter is part of a song called song for the dumped.
I feel dumped duped and taken for a ride now that an Austrian actor has become governor of what he calls the Great State of California. I want my money back for the 10 years I've been living in this country and the other 23 years I've been living believing in democracy. I'm sure the Greeks didn't have Gray Davis and, Larry Flynt and Gary Coleman in mind when they would meet in the Agora' in front of the Parthenon. I also doubt The Roman Senate and Brutus had thought that slapping Julius Ceasar on the wrist and telling him to go home would have really worked.
In this new-puritan age though anything goes and even though a boob can not be seen on TV or a curse word uttered without blanking out the mouth we can still show how to stab people in the back when trying to win a money prize or even how people do not care about the issues(64% of Californians elected Ahnold said they do not believe he's good on the issues but they voted for him because he's Arnold Schwarzenegger)
Is it to late to recall a president nobody but his brother in Florida voted for?
and finally:
I want to be the people's governor. I want to represent everybody. I believe in the people of California, and I know that together we can do great things.

I know that together we can make this again the greatest state of the greatest country in the world.

Thank you very much. Thank you. And God bless all of you. Thank you.

The following takes place between 4 pm and 5 pm on the day of the California Recall vote

Ok I stole it from 24 I guess I'm jonesing for that show to start again. Anyway there is something that has been bothering me for a little while. Politicians are expected to live a squeaky clean life right? no sex, drugs or Rock n' Roll... no groping drinking or intern fellatio.... When someone runs for office they are scrutinized and their life is run through x-rays one way and then the other. What bothers me is the fact that if you do live a squeaky clean life all your life chances are you're stuck in middle management making regular wages driving to your suburban home everyday where your wife waits to tell you about the kids medical problems and you don't know how to build up the kids' college fund; trust me you'll be doing that the rest of your life while shrewd assholes take advantage of you left and right and get ahead. If you go into politics chances are you're the shrewed asshole screwing the average Joe. My question however is this how come a gentleman who is running for governor, who lived the high life in the eighties and the Lord only knows what he did in his life at the top I mean he's a Hollywood type; anyway how come does he have to apologize for feeling a girl's behind years ago just to gain more popularity points when the president of this country is a former "alleged" cocaine user? Please someone answer me before I lose complete respect for the country and it's government
