"California has reached the breaking point, says Tim Draper. The Silicon Valley venture capitalist is pushing a proposal to crack the nation's most populous state into smaller pieces - six of them.
California has grown so big, so inefficient, it's essentially ungovernable, according to a ballot initiative that could reach voters as early as November.
It has to go, he says.
"Vast parts of our state are poorly served by a representative government," according to Draper's plan, which cleared a key government hurdle this week, part of the process to qualify for the ballot. California residents "would be better served by six smaller state governments.""
Patrick, I have to say I can't find any listing anywhere for a town, county, township, city, or hamlet named "Franton" Kansas and it doesn't appear on Google Maps.
Given the sidebar articles listed this may actually be a joke.
Not a particularly good joke ...

Capitalization is also very important. Would you rather "help your Uncle Jack off a horse," or "help your uncle jack off a horse"?

From the article:

Wasn't this (kind of) addressed in "Bulworth"?

"No Gay Eating Here." A restaurant in Topeka is acting as if the laws allowing discrimination against gay couples is already in effect.
