Miss California and Other Golden State Embarassments
California, I love you, but sometimes you embarrass me. While you haven't had anything Blagojevich-esque occur of late, I don't think you've done anything lately that you can be proud of. Why don't you go think about that for a while.
After that whole mishigas (excuse my Yiddish,) about topless pictures and anti-gay statements, Miss California gets booted because she missed “official pageant events.” LAME! If you’re going to get dethroned at least do something scandalous.
The Miss California Debacle
Is it me, or is it just a tad hypocritical for someone to talk up their values while topless pictures of them are circulating on the internet?
How you too can look like Miss California.

I guess I should be surprised, but somehow, I’m not.
Palin-Prejean 2012
Maybe Prejean could be Palin’s VP when she runs for president in 2012. Would that be a winning ticket, or what?
Sinbad Adkins and Dionne Warwick
Apparently the singer and comedian owe the state of California a combined 4.7 million dollars in income taxes!!! All I can say is WTF.
Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger
And he’s been our governor for the past 6 years! What’s with California and electing actors into public office! (Was Reagan not lesson enough for you people?) On the bright side I guess we can all be happy that old Arnie can’t be elected president.
California State Capitol Building
1400 Tenth St. Sacramento , CA 95814

Did you forget that Arnold was a barbarian, a superhero villain, and a pregnant man before he was a politician? Rent some flicks to jog your memory.

Manny Being Manny
Come on now Manny. We welcomed you to Los Angeles with open arms, we put your face on billboards all over town, we even made Dodger hats with fake dreads for crying out loud! Then you go get yourself all juiced up. Is this what they call a “Manny Moment”?
Where you can see Manny after he fully “recuperates.”

LA Mayor Villaraigosa Has an Affair with a TV reporter
Telemundo TV reporter Mirthala Salinas admitted to having affair with the mayor after the mayor announced that he and his wife of 20 years were getting divorced. Salinas was suspended from her job, while the mayor just carried on with his mayoral duties. What is this, France?

Danny Pang: California's Bernie Madoff?
Former financial manager Danny Pang is being investigated for a running a life insurance Ponzi scheme that defrauded investors out of millions of dollars. To add insult to injury, Pang lied on his resume (claiming to have degrees that he didn’t) and the murder of his wife (who used to be a stripper) remains unsolved.
The Passage of Prop 8
Shame on you California! I never thought you would be one to discrimihate.
The State is Sort of Bankrupt
What?! We were spending money we didn’t have? That’s just craziness! Or extreme debt, depending on how you phrase it. In fact, the state is SO poor that they’re proposing to sell state landmarks for cash. Now do we have any takers for San Quentin prison?
Proposed Violent Video Game Law
A while back the Governator signed a bill that would forbid the sale of violent video games to minors. Because everyone knows some of the most violent crimes are committed by overprivileged kids who play shoot-em-up games on their Wii.
Exercise your constitutional right and a give a minor a ride to Best Buy so he can buy some violent video games.

Stockton, CA
This California city is America’s 5th dangerous city. Good one, California, good one.
Huell Howser
TV host Huell Howser isn’t really an embarrassment to California. I just find him incredibly irritating.
Barry Being Barry
And don’t get me started on Barry Bonds.
Where you can heckle Barry Bonds if you’re in the mood for some heckling.

Our Air Quality is So Bad It's Embarrassing
Recently, the American Lung Association flunked 32 California counties in its state of the air report. Looks like public students aren’t the only ones who are failing around here…
