So, our Governor, Eliot Spitzer, has officially given up on his plan to allow “illegal” aliens to get driver’s licenses. Not too surprising, as it was pretty much a loser issue right from the git-go (though I think the State Republicans suckered him into it by pretending there’d be no objection from them), and kind of an odd thing for him to expend so much political capital on. I’m still trying to figure out why I should be enraged at the idea, personally.

I mean, not having a license doesn’t mean they aren’t here. All it means is we’d know who they are, where they live, that they know how to drive (at least to some extent; mostly, it means they know how to parallel park and do a three point turn), and that there’s a chance the cars they drive will be registered and insured.

But, whatever. I’m sure it’s more of a big deal in NYC, what with the gypsy cabs and all that. Up here? Not so much, I’m guessing. Our illegal aliens are too busy picking apples and grapes and shit to worry about driving around.

So, I wanted to dedicate this video to Farmerkat, Mike Malloy, and their governor, Sonny “Rainman” Perdue, but the fuckers won’t let me embed it. So, I’ll offer this one up, after hearing it on Californication.

It’s kinda disconcerting the way the audience cheers this, though. I think they just don’t get it.
