Why my fellow Californians are idiots.

Um, you voted against independent redistricting of legislative districts? Seriously?

C'mon, what the hell is wrong with us? After being put billions in debt by our genius legislators in all 153 districts, and then not a SINGLE ONE of those district seats changed hands, we just voted to allow the same people to decide whether or not to keep their jobs.

I'm sure it's because we all admire their work so much.

If you voted against that measure, you are one of two things:

1. The victim of a horrible head injury
2. A bad person, and one who is never again allowed to complain about Bush's cronyism.

There you have it. I've heard the argument that it was poorly drafted because it allowed political appointment of the independent judges who were to decide upon the districts... Okay, small point, but: More politically appointed than the politicians themselves who are currently drawing their own district lines? No good answer to that one yet.
