California voting information is crazily complete - candidate statements, arguments for propositions, arguments against propositions, responses to both arguments. Knowing that's getting mailed to me allows me to completely ignore all political ads and most of the news.
Wesley: Feng Shui. Gunn: Right. What's that mean again? Wesley: That people will believe anything. Actually, in this place, Feng Shui will probably have enormous significance. I'll align my furniture the wrong way and suddenly catch fire or turn into a pudding.

Mr. Smith would haunt me.
My doctor just asked me what I want to do about my migraines.
This sounds like a question that should be responded to with a punch to the head. The questioner's head.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
Mayor, 3 City Council seats (the top 3 of a pool of 6 candidates), and some bond issues. A typical odd-year election for this area.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
I think there will be literally nothing contested on my ballot, and one ballot question that doesn't apply to NYC. So.
I've voted in "elections" like this before, and it's just weird -- all the same names up for judge across all the different parties, etc.

Good lord! My sample ballot was all of one sheet and it used BIG print.
Aaah, California. We have 11 ballot measures and 12 candidates for mayor including:
a nudist activist (Apparently I am FREE TO BE NUDE!!)
a vegan taxicab driver whose first name seems to be Grasshopper
a "showman" who goes by the name of Chicken John

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica

I wonder what ginormous sum of money it's going for?

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
It's an amazing apartment. You sure you want to live downtown?

Yeah, I could live downtown. I was feeding a friend's cat downtown, and it was a straight 15 minute shot from Los Feliz at 6pm on a weekday.
