REDIRECT ALERT! (Scroll down past this mess if you're trying to read an archived post. Thanks. No, really, thanks.)

Due to my inability to control my temper and complacently accept continued silliness with not-quite-as-reliable-as-it-ought-to-be Blogger/Blogspot, your beloved Possumblog will now waddle across the Information Dirt Road and park its prehensile tail at http://possumblog.mu.nu.

This site will remain in place as a backup in case Munuvia gets hit by a bus or something, but I don't think they have as much trouble with this as some places do. ::cough::blogspot::cough:: So click here and adjust your links. I apologize for the inconvenience, but it's one of those things.

California Gov. Suffers Double Blow of Bad News

By Adam Tanner

SAN FRANCISCO (Reuters) - California Gov. Gray Davis suffered more bad news on Thursday when the state's Democratic Congressional delegation said they were supporting Lt. Gov. Cruz Bustamante should a recall vote remove incumbent Davis from office.

Davis had originally hoped to defeat the Oct. 7 recall vote keeping other Democrats from the ballot, but Bustamante, who is barely on speaking terms with the governor, split the party by putting his name on the ballot.

With fewer than 50 days until Davis' political judgment day, House minority leader Rep. Nancy Pelosi said Democrats have changed their strategy and would back Bustamante should voters remove Davis, who is unpopular over his handling of state finances.

In more bad news for Davis, a poll released on Thursday suggested that he could well be out of a job soon. A Public Policy Institute of California telephone survey of 993 likely voters from Aug. 8 to Aug. 17 found 58 percent wanted to recall the Democrat. [...]

Wow--not only have evil Republicans tried to steal the governship, they have somehow managed to replace California's Congressional Democrats with ZOMBIES!! AND at least 576 of 993 likely California voters!!

Boy, if poor Gray had only installed a 5,300 pound block of Old Testamentation, all of this could have been avoided!!
