Arnold needs to work on that.
I've been kind of slacking on the "Stuff I Should Know by Now" links (look to the right). So since tonight is Saturday and I'm, you know, ready to cut loose and party and my boyfriend is out of town, I decided it was a good time to figure out who my state representatives are. So I went here, clicked on "Find my District" and then cut-and-pasted the links.
Then I decided to actually read something about my representatives, and I almost had a stroke: THEY'RE REPUBLICANS. Really militant, nasty, mean republicans. And that they've been writing legislation proposing to, like, kill puppies and Jews. Or they looked like people who might do that kind of thing.
And then I noticed that their offices were in Fresno. And that they're not my representatives at all, but the representatives of people like Scott Peterson. (Actually I think he and Gary Condit were both from Modesto not Fresno... but they both end in "o" and they're both places I never plan to visit. So anyway I was relieved.)
Then I set out to find my actual senator and assemblyman and it took FUCKING FOREVER. That site didn't work. What if I actually NEEDED my state senator for something? Shouldn't this be an easy thing to find?
After forty-five minutes, I finally figured it out. They seem like very nice people. I was too riled up by the time I found them to actually read anything about them. Except my senator has a "Master of Divinity" degree from Yale and my assemblyperson is a woman. That's all I know.
Is there more crap I should know about these people? I tried to read the senator's blog, but it was even more boring than the one you're reading right now.
