It's primary election day in several states today (we here in Massachusetts don't get ours until September), and the two most interesting races (to me, at least) are in California.

One is to replace Duke Cunningham, who recently went to prison for taking bribes. Or, as the AP article put it, "for taking bribes on a scale unparalleled in the history of Congress."

Which, when you think about Congress, is something.

The other notable race is for governor. The Governator is running unopposed, but I find it interesting that his likely opponent is the Duff Beer VP for calendars and fake IDs. An endorsement from MADD is out of the question, I think.

And while there's no election there today, sad to see Bill Weld abandon his run at the New York governorship. A sad day for the Carrot Topped WASP.
