"To what purpose are powers limited, and to what purpose is that limitation committed to writing,
if these limits may, at any time, be passed by those intended to be restrained?"

The Ozzman Cometh

by Lee

This has to be a joke.

Ozzy Osbourne says he will run as an independent to succeed Gov. Gray Davis as California’s chief executive.

But the Los Angeles Times noted Osbourne may encounter some criticism over accusations he’s a Satanist and animal torturer. During a concert he allegedly bit the head off a live bat. Recently, Osbourne has found fame in a reality television sitcom.

During a Tuesday news conference at his Beverly Hills mansion, the Times quoted Osbourne as saying he realizes people will view his candidacy as a joke.

But, he said: “The sad truth is a $38 billion state budget is no joke—that’s a (expletive) suicide solution. ... I want to take this moment to assure California voters that I stand before you today not to make trouble and confuse matters, but because I can simply do a better (expletive) job than Davis.

“If I can bite the head off a live bat, then I can take a bite out of this (expletive) state deficit.”

Perhaps Ozzy could do what he did at the Alamo, and go to Sacramento to piss on the capitol building.
