No, this wasn’t a commentary on California’s Proposition 8. It was another example of California’s legislature fiddling while Sacramento burns.
White the state is $45 billion in debt with no apparent hope of balancing its budget, its legislature is debating the definition of condiments.
“The governor is not against condiments. The governor’s not against fruits of any kind,” said spokesman Aaron McLear. “But he believes we ought to be focused on solving our budget crisis first and foremost.”
Instead, the state Assembly spent Tuesday debating the creation of a commission to market the state’s blueberry industry and the definitions of honey and “100-percent pomegranate juice.”
“Look, we’re pro-condiment, we’re pro-fruit,” McLear said, “but the focus needs to be on the budget crisis.”
There was a time when Arnold Schwarzenegger called his political opponents girlymen. Now he’s become one of them, cowering in fear before the mighty force of the pro-condiment lobby.
