On Again/Off Again California Recall is On Again
Sacramento, California (RHP)
First there was an election, then a recall, then no recall, and now, the recall is back on. So says the Ninth District Court of Appeals, overturning its own three-judge panel’s decision that had temporarily put the recall on hold.
The three-judge panel had earlier found in favor of the American Civil Leftist Union (ACLU) and the National Organization for Constitutional Liberties Unlimited (NOCLU) when they sought to postpone the recall in a lawsuit claiming that certain California voters are every bit as feeble and incapable as certain Florida voters.
“As seen in the 2000 presidential election, voters on our side are less capable of punching holes through paper than voters on their side,” claimed an ACLU/NOCLU spokesperson. “Therefore, we will only support the justice and veracity of this recall election if urban areas and the elderly are given special consideration and military votes are disqualified.”
“Durn tootin’,” added former vice president Al Gore speaking to a grammar school assembly in Pigeon Forge, Tennessee. “That there e-lection in 2000 was ‘bout as fair as a rich bully a-takin’ yer lunch money. This time ‘round, not that I’m a-runnin’, but this time ‘round Albert Gore knows exactly who he is. Or is it whom? Who-uns? Whatever, I can durn sure spell ‘potato,’ sure as I’ll be a-pickin’ and a-shuckin’ and a-curin’ a whole mess o’ tobacco this fall. Or is it tobaccy up here?”
When asked why they hadn’t been concerned about voting inequities ten months before when Democrat Gray Davis was elected, and whether they considered themselves as partisan and extrajudicial as the Florida and New Jersey Supreme Courts, the three-judge panel responded silently as one covered his eyes, another his ears, and the third, his mouth.
