busby1013Another TDS entry for today!
In an effort to alleviate California’s crippling debt, the Governator has announced that the state will be cleaning out its storage sheds and offering up deals on eBay and Craigslist. Everything from government-issue coat racks to jewelry to seized automobiles will be put up for sale. Governor Schwarzenegger is even going so far as to autograph the visors of the cars he wants to sell, adding an additional value of up to $400.
Reached for comment, the Governor said he got the idea from one of his followers on Twitter, because Twitter is preferable to all those crazy constituents who have the initiative and resumés and free time to write physical letters and visit the governor’s office everyday with thoughtful suggestions. Because a printed and bound formal prospectus on a new balanced budget proposal can’t compete with the pithy poeticism of a hastily thumb-typed message like “dude, autograph your shit!”
Also being sold on Craigslist will be autographed Terminator DVDs, rides in bulletproof government vehicles, and package deals on Schwarzenegger appearances at Bar Mitzvahs. And of course, the odd futon seized in a police raid. * cut to photo of futon with weed pouring out of a slit in the cushion *
