We don't know what the fuck happened to our old "cool" governor, Jerry Brown. First he is not even dating Linda Ronstadt anymore, so strike one. And then he was all "grrrrr, I am a grumpy senior citizen, 'fiscally responsible' adult person, so now the economy is yay again but I will still cut money for special needs babies and olds," because they must be punished, we guess, for being special needs babies and olds. And now, worst of all, he is telling all of us not to get hiiiiiiiigh.
Go fuck yourself, old man. You're not even our real dad.
California Governor Jerry Brown said he is not sure legalizing pot is a good idea in his state because the country could lose its competitive edge if too many people are getting stoned.
"The problem with anything, a certain amount is OK. But there is a tendency to go to extremes," he said in a wide-ranging interview aired Sunday on NBC's "Meet the Press." ''And all of a sudden, if there's advertising and legitimacy, how many people can get stoned and still have a great state or a great nation?"
[...]
"The world's pretty dangerous, very competitive. I think we need to stay alert, if not 24 hours a day, more than some of the potheads might be able to put together."
You know what keeps you alert, Jerry Brown? Cocaine.
You heard him, everyone, time to start blowing fat rails, for American productivity and competitiveness, and also danger.

Well, I'm now thinking that there might be a pretty simple explanation for Jerry's remarks. Since Calderon has now placed himself on paid LOA, the Democrats no longer have a 2/3 majority in the Senate. God damn it.
This is not a good time for the gov to be particularly flamboyantly liberal looking. Getting anything done between now and November (at least) will depend on whether or not some of the Republicans' constituents and owners lean on them to be a little flexible, because Moonbeam has been pretty restrained.
God damn those fucks (and by that I mean Wright and Calderon). God damn it.
See: no more supermajority.
