    I'm waiting for "balanced budget" day.

    It's right on the calendar man...it's a holiday in fact.

    See, says right here, "Balanced Budget day is usually celebrated the day after 'Cold Day in Hell'."

    I don't really like these analogies because they are comparing apples and oranges.

    More like comparing Apple to Unix, if you ask me.

    ...but if this is the silliest thing the California government does for the rest of the year, we Californians will consider ourselves fortunate.
