just another too easy story

now posting regularly at blog.wtf.tw. see wtf.tw for marginally more coherent text.

amomenttothink:

I honestly can not decide if California’s governator is awesome or completely insane because of things like this:

To the Members of the California State Assembly:

I am returning Assembly Bill 1176 without my signature.

For some time now I have lamented the fact that major issues are overlooked while many unnecessary bills come to me for consideration.  Water reform, prison reform, and health care are major issues my Administration has brought to the table, but the Legislature just kicks the can down the alley.

Yet another legislative year has come and gone without the major reforms Californians overwhelmingly deserve.  In light of this, and after careful consideration, I believe it is unnecessary to sign this measure at this time.

Sincerely, 



Arnold Schwarzenegger

Look carefully.

After cursory inspection (*really* cursory, like 5 minutes cursory) of the bill in question, I would say: awesome.

You may have been indicating something (“look carefully”) that I did not look sufficiently carefully to see, however.
