name-calling schmuck
It's a good thing
Mac doesn't live in California, because I don't think she could bear living in Schwarzenegger's state. Heck, she lives 3000 miles away, and she
calls him out regularly. Then again, it's not too difficult, given all that he's done while in office. Some highlights from "
On Girlie Men and Our Manly Governor" (LA Times link, see
bugmenot for creds), in which Steve Lopez does an index-like take on what we've been through. Some highlights:
Total dollar amount of the 2003-04 budget signed by ex-Gov. Gray Davis: $99.1 billion.
Total amount of Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger's first budget after promising to shrink government: $103 billion.
Number of employees on Gov. Schwarzenegger's staff who make $100,000 or more: 14.
Number of employees on Gov. Davis' staff who made $100,000 or more: 8.
Pay concessions Gov. Schwarzenegger vowed to extract by playing hardball with the California prison guards union: $300 million.
Amount of pay concessions actually negotiated by Schwarzenegger with the prison union: $108 million.
And so on. Sigh.
