    The average citizen would be stunned, absolutely stunned, if he realized what a rote incompetent boob the person he or she elected to the state legislature is.

    If that average citizen actually gave a shit.

    In-state... unless the California Supremes rule otherwise.

    There's a suit up right now, filed by out-of-staters, on this very matter.

    Well, it was their state first, before whitey kicked 'em out.

    yes. that $50-60 million (or even, say $100-200 million if you want to gamble that his movies will be worldwide blockbusters) or so from making those three movies will put a huge dent in the $41 billion deficit.

    Damn, I should get a job being a legislator. Sounds like the bar isn't set particularly high.

    Oh, this is rich.

    Hoping for a state tax refund from California? You might just get an IOU instead.

    Only once has California actually turned to such a drastic measure: in 1992, during another budget standoff. The good news for taxpayers is, if the state does actually issue the IOUs, it could be at up to 5 percent interest.

    It's not a "bankruptcy." It's a "new beginning." :p

    California is a fucked pile of monkey shit that deserves every one of the problems it has. Too bad some good people live there and are going to be screwed over in some way because of it.

    I hope I'm not the only one who chuckled at the thread title.
