Earlier in the week, recall candidate Mary Carey wrote (well, maybe she wrote) an op-ed piece in the L.A. Times making some points about the debates. Now the Times' Roy Rivenburg attends the Carey press conference, which coincided with the premiere of her new hard-core film, to get the rest of the story.
All in all, it was a dignified exchange of ideas (and by "dignified," we mean that Carey and her pals bared their chests to the press corps, which is exactly the kind of political discourse that Hiram Johnson envisioned when he introduced the recall process in 1910).
His Recall Madness column also picks up Gray Davis' planetary madness: "We have people from every planet on the Earth in this state."
Given some of the "interesting" folks I have met in California, especially in Berkeley and Los Angeles, maybe the Governor isn't so inaccurate.

"My vision is to make the most diverse state on earth, and we have people from every planet on the earth in this state, ah, we have the sons and daughters of people from every planet, of every country on earth, in this state.
I was rolling in laughter as I read this. Every public speaker finds himself with marbles in his mouth at times - I know I have - but this sort of takes it to a California scale, a little bit off the far end of anything else...

I can't believe that Sony Music isn't doing more to support Mariah's campaign. But I hear the lambs are really organized at the grassroots level.
