The California Cow

You have a cow and a bull.
The bull is depressed.
It has spent its life living a lie.
It goes away for two weeks.
It comes back after a taxpayer-paid sex-change operation.
You now have two cows.
One makes milk; the other doesn't.
You try to sell the transgender cow.
Its lawyer sues you for discrimination.
You lose in court.
You sell the milk-generating cow to pay the damages.
You now have one rich, transgender, non-milk-producing cow.
You change your business to beef.
PETA pickets your farm.
Jesse Jackson makes a speech in your driveway.
Cruz Bustamante calls for higher farm taxes to help "working cows".
Hillary Clinton calls for the nationalization of 1/7 of your farm "for the children".
Gray Davis signs a law giving your farm to Mexico.
The L.A. Times quotes five anonymous cows claiming you groped their teats.
You declare bankruptcy and shut down all operations.
The cow starves to death! .
The L.A. Times' analysis shows your business failure is Bush's fault.

That's very funny. But I feel like I should be nice to California these days, especialy in view of those tragic fires. I'm hoping the firefighters can get them under control before there's any more loss of life (including theirs), but I'm having my doubts. My BIL's SIL and husband are in the San Diego area and had to evacuate - will find out more from BIL about their situation when we see him tonight.

Maybe the cows won't take it personally. ;-)


Hope all is well with your relatives. We still don't know if Tim's family has had to evacuate or not, although they were packed and could see flames. I will keep them all in my prayers.

Rhonda, please keep in mind that normal people do live in California! There are normal, liberal democrats out there, and I am one of them. I know that you feel very strongly about the superiority of your ultra, right wing, republican party. This country is made up of all sorts of people, good and bad, democratic, republican and other, I think that this is why we have made the decision to live here.

Good grief, it was just a joke!! People make fun of Florida all the time, but I don't take it personally. For cryin' out loud, my in-laws live in California. This may surprise you, but I am a moderate Republican not an ultra right wing, and I have a sense of humor. Let's keep that straight.
