California:
The Governor of California is jogging with his dog along a nature
trail. A
coyote jumps out, bites the Governor and attacks his dog.
1. The Governor starts to intervene, but reflects upon the movie
"Bambi"
and then realizes he should stop; the coyote is only doing what is
natural.
2. He calls animal control. Animal Control captures coyote and bills
the
State $200 testing it for diseases and $500 for relocating it.
3. He calls a veterinarian. The vet collects the dead dog and bills
the
State $200 testing it for diseases.
4. The Governor goes to hospital and spends $3,500 getting checked
for
diseases from the coyote and on getting his bite wound bandaged.
5. The running trail gets shut down for 6 months while Fish& Game
conducts
a $100,000 survey to make sure the area is free of dangerous animals.
6. The Governor spends $50,000 in state funds implementing a "coyote
awareness" program for residents of the area.
7. The State Legislature spends $2 million to study how to better
treat
rabies and how to permanently eradicate the disease throughout the
world.
8. The Governor's security agent is fired for not stopping the attack
somehow and for letting the Governor attempt to intervene.
9. Additional cost to State of California: $75,000 to hire and train
a new
security agent with additional special training the nature of
coyotes.
10. PETA protests the coyote's relocation and files suit against the
State.
Arizona:
The Governor of Arizona is jogging with her dog along a nature trail.
A
Coyote jumps out and attacks her dog.
1. The Governor shoots the coyote with her State-issued pistol and
keeps
jogging. The Governor has spent $0.50 on a .45 ACP hollow point
cartridge.
2. The Buzzards eat the dead coyote.
And that's why California is broke.
Yep, a real shortage of rational polticians, good that Arizona has one.

Government has liberals, idealists and lawyers, but where is the common

Your racism and moronic nature is showing. Obama is coming to get you!
Hide immediately!
Someone posts a humorous semi realistic post about the land of fruits and
nuts and you come along and dump one of your big stinky turds on it. So
typical of your ilk. "Girls just don't want to have fu-un." eh Cindi.

The governor of California actually has huge power. Extremely huge. But
Arnold did not use it. The governor has the "LINE ITEM VETO" in this
state. That is great power if used.
Too bad you're misinformed. Firstly, Cal governors have very limited power.
Secondly, he did use it on more than a few times.
