This is a politico/religious slam at some of the various political idiots we have around here. Not limited to Sacramento, either. Our home-grown variety here in San Jose are enough to cause me to degenerate into somewhat immoderate language.

Once upon a time in the kingdom of Heaven, God was missing for six days.
Eventually, Michael the archangel found him, resting on the seventh day.
He inquired of God, "Where have you been?"

God signed a deep sigh of satisfaction and proudly pointed downwards
through the clouds, "Look, Michael. Look what I've made."

Archangel Michael looked puzzled and said, "What is it?"

"It's a planet", replied God, "and I've put Life on it. I'm going to call it Earth and
it's going to be a great place of balance."

"Balance?" inquired Michael, still confused.

God explained, pointing to different parts of earth.

"For example, northern Europe will be a place of great opportunity and
wealth while southern Europe is going to be poor."

"Over there I've placed a continent of white people and over there is a
continent of black people." God continued pointing to different
countries.

"This one will be extremely hot and while this one will be very cold and
covered in ice."

The Archangel, impressed by God's work, then pointed to a land mass and
said, "What's that one?"

"Ah", said God. "That's California the most glorious place on earth. There
are beautiful beaches, deserts, streams, hills, and forests. The people
from California are going to be handsome, modest, intelligent and humorous
and they are going to be found traveling the world. They will be extremely
sociable, hardworking and high achieving, and they will be known
throughout the world as diplomats and carriers of peace."

Michael gasped in wonder and admiration but then proclaimed, "What about
balance, God? You said there would be balance!!!"

God replied wisely, "Wait until you see the idiots I put in Sacramento."
