From Indecision…

In a world…

…in which an entire state full of people decide to elect the star of a bunch of action movies to lead them…

…this is the kind of thing you will end up reading about in the news…

California's government is 50 days away from a financial "meltdown" if Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger and lawmakers fail to close the $24.3 billion budget gap.

But Schwarzenegger would rather see the government screech to halt than agree to a high-interest loan.

That's the record scratching part. You know, when the music changes from serious orchestral music to douchey top 40 song.

I'm assuming that someone like Jackie Chan or that dead-eyed girl from the Transformers movie is going to step in to help him resolve the $24-billion budget shortfall. And teach him a valuable lesson about life. And the folly of a panicked borrowing plan.

"What we need to do is just to basically cut off all the funding and just let them have a taste of what it is like when the state comes to a shutdown — grinding halt… Do they want to protect the workers that provide the services, or do they want to protect the people that get those services?" Schwarzenegger said. "The choice is up to them."

Meh… I still think they should have gone with a better tag line.
