Thanks, Sokeripupu. Thanks for making me start off my Saturday by watching this. Holy hell.

I'm not sure, but I think my favorite moment might be "And silkworms."

Interesting to contrast this clip with the Miss South Carolina clip. Although Fugu's right; maybe not right at the start of the weekend.

Think she's for real?

Fugu said...

Oh, that wasn't sarcasm! I am actually glad to start off the weekend full of energy. Energy in the form of hate!

"On the East Coast they have slaves and believe in slavery and Made In China, but on the West Coast, the New West Coast, we believe in The Union. Because that's what we are."

Fugu said...

Yeah she's probably for real, and unfortunately manic.

Question: If you were on that city's council during that presentation, would you have been able to hold back as well as the gentleman who said, "Thank you"?

Well the crops are um growing very well and um they're organic and some have pesticides and I think that we should make um a perfect pesticide for the crops that um is good for people and healthy and keeps the crops preserved too because we need the food because its food and stuff and organic food is good also. Um and the businesses downtown um really need to lower their rent because if the rent was lowered those people would really have their own businesses. They have enough stuff, they're very good at making things, they're like experts. They're really good and we can really be a community and um make the things and um sell them in our stores. And I really believe that it can be a California thing, that it can it can really work out because we can be rich in cotton and mining metals and silkworms and we can make things. We can make things cars. The machine can make it for us and we can have the community and the city and San Francisco and we can make things and put them in the stores.

On the East Coast they have slaves and they believe in slavery and Made in China but um on the West Coast the new West Coast we don't believe in that we believe in the Union and that's what we are. Cause in the Bush administration which is really good um he has government funding for small business owners.

You can grow every kind of fruit and vegetable you want. That's how they do it. They have fruit trees and vegetable trees, that's where fruit and vegetable comes from. You freeze the fruit and vegetables it'll last forever. You can put, you know, broccoli or strawberries in the freezer, it'll last forever. If you don't it, you know, might go bad in a while, but...

People, we live in California, this our home, this is where we live. Growing food is so good for the people because it's free. Alls you have to do is pay the farmers and pay for the land. But why do we have to pay for the land? The land's free, it's new land, you know. I mean, do we have to pay for the land? Do we have to pay rent, do we have to pay... ? Um, the food's free, so we should just... sell it at the farmer's market.

Holy Shit, Ruby! Are you okay after doing that?

This is not helping me overcome some of the biases I have toward California.

Don't hate on California-- idiocy knows no boundaries...

I particularly enjoy this clip because in my job now in the Legislature I have to sit on the other side and listen to people testify during the public comment period. Sometimes it gets pretty entertaining...

odori said...

Yes, you're right. I've seen some neighborhood board meeting clips on Olelo. Hawaii has plenty of morons too.

I've been watching the Palolo Community Board Meetings on Olelo. Fast-forwarding through them, actually. Kathryn Xian is on a lot, talking about human trafficking. Human trafficking is bad, guys.
