Larry Flint deals in pornography, I'm sure he will use his political power to expand his business, just like every other politician.
he doesn't run stores though does he?

He sells porn so what? If there wasn't a market for it he wouldn't be selling it.

Welcome to Capitalism
There are very conservsative politicians that have strict zoning regulations as to where you can open a porno shop. If Larry flint goes into power, what kind of zoning regulations do you think he'll have. He's obviously liberal, but his main interest would be to make his business flurish, he'll want a porno shop in every block. I'm not against porno, at all, well I guess it won't matter because Larry won't get the female votes, could you imagine him kissing babies? he'll look like some sort of pediphile.

If Larry wins, he'll be the ugliest mofo to win an election since Barny Frank.

Gary Coleman on California ballot
Thursday, August 7, 2003 Posted: 0232 GMT (10:32 AM HKT)


(CNN) -- Gary Coleman, child star of the sitcom "Diff'rent Strokes," has placed his name among a host of other celebrities in the running for California governor.

Coleman's candidacy was engineered by the East Bay Express, an Oakland-area newspaper, which paid his $3,500 filing fee, collected the necessary petition signatures and is promoting his candidacy in protest of the scheduled vote aimed at recalling Gov. Gray Davis.

Coleman's campaign treasurer, Steve Buel, editor of the East Bay Express, told CNN that the actor's name "resonates with the voters."

Buel said he had no trouble getting the necessary 65 petition signatures from Independent voters in Alameda County, which he gathered at a recent Oakland A's baseball game.

The Alameda County Registrar of Voters confirmed Wednesday that a representative for Coleman filed the necessary petition signatures and paid the required fee at the courthouse in Oakland, California. He registered as an Independent.

California voters will decide October 7 whether to recall Gov. Gray Davis, a Democrat, and who should replace him.

"I thought (the recall) was a joke. They thought it was a joke. And I thought, hey, why not," Coleman, 35, told CNN. "I'm probably the least qualified for the job, but I'll have some great people around me."

"It's true that there is a farcical quality to the entire recall effort. But Gary's candidacy is no more farcical than that of Arnold Schwarzenegger, or Arianna Huffington, or the comedian Gallagher," Buel said.

Schwarzenegger, Huffington and Gallagher have all announced they will seek to replace Gov. Davis.

Schwarzenegger's announcement came at a Wednesday afternoon taping of NBC's "The Tonight Show" with Jay Leno.

Coleman, speaking shortly after film star Arnold Schwarzenegger announced he was running for governor, predicted that Schwarzenegger would win -- and Coleman said he would vote for the "Terminator."

"Now that Arnold is in the race, there is no race. Gray Davis needs to pack his bags," he said. "I'm going to stay in the race, but I'm not going to campaign."

On Diff'rent Strokes from 1978 to 1986, Coleman played Arnold Drummond, who, along with his brother, Willis (played by Todd Bridges), was adopted by a wealthy man after their mother, the man's maid, died.

Larry Flynt sued over sex toys in dishwasher
By Reuters, 8/6/2003

LOS ANGELES -- Hustler magazine publisher and would-be California governor Larry Flynt has been sued for sexual harassment by a former employee who claims she found sex toys in the company dishwasher.

Elizabeth Rene Raymond, a former executive assistant to two top officers of Flynt's company, Larry Flynt Publications Inc., sued for sexual harassment and wrongful dismissal from her job Monday, the same day as Flynt announced he was running in California's October gubernatorial recall election under the slogan "a smut peddler who cares".

Raymond, who was fired from her job a year ago, claims that Flynt fostered a hostile work environment. She said in the lawsuit she had found sex toys in the company dishwasher that were "used on the prostitutes who visited his office." Raymond was dismissed shortly after complaining to her supervisors.

Flynt Publications did not immediately return calls for comment on the lawsuit.

Flynt, 61, told a news conference on Monday he planned to run in the October ballot to unseat California Gov. Gray Davis, but would not spend millions campaigning if private polling showed that his background in pornography and gambling made him unacceptable to voters.

Just leave California, there's some lunatics there. Supposedly there is suppose to be over 300 candidates on the ballot. Go figure, we've got a movie star, a child star, a porn mogule, and a porn star how absurd.

Yes! Then new factories would be located there because of NAFTA, we could make them second favored trade nation after China, let them deal with the earthquakes, fires and mud slides. But where would our social trends come from, we wouldn't know what to wear, what to drive or what is cool to say?

I think when the tectonic plates seperate Cali from the U.S., they should be labeled a seperate country. I hate California. It truly is a state of corruption.

Then we'd have to pay tariffs on most of our aftermarket parts. And they would be called CADM.

Okay, I'll admit, California has a lot of faults (no pun intended), but I think Texans shouldn't be talking so loudly. Look at their legislators, there playing "hide and go seek" again in New Mexico hotels. What a bunch of sour pusses, sore losers, lame politicians. etc. Texas should recall their own politicians and vote for some that would actually work for their people.
