I Interview A California Recall Candidate
Published August 19, 2003
William Tsangares is a 42-year old Republican from Los Angeles. He has a BA in Liberal Studies (which also happens to be my major...) and works as a self-employed graphic artist. He was kind enough to answer some questions via e-mail.
1 - What prompted you to run for Governor of California?
Boredom
2 - Gray Davis...? What are your thoughts on the man?
Reluctant supporter
3 - Your state has a massive budget deficit. How would you, if elected, deal
with it? Raise more revenue via taxes/fees? Cut spending? Or a combo of the
two?
Taxpaying should be fun. Spending should be based on your current
income.
4 - Should pot/weed/marijuana be legalized, decriminalized, or kept illegal?
Legalize Marijuana
5 - How does it feel to be running against the Lt. Governor, a "smut
peddler", a porn star, and "The Terminator"?
The whole process is like looting the government.
6 - How did you go about qualifying for the ballot? Where did the
signatures/cash come from?
My cash and I solicitated signatures from
around the state, from Marin to Orange County.
7 - Who was worse? Hitler, Mao, or Stalin?
Worse or most effective? I would say Mao was the most successful but Hitler
dominates public TV. Stalin just falls between the cracks.
8 - President Bush: Semi-literate moronic alcoholic who lucked his way into
the Presidency, or wonderful human being and honorable Commander-in-Chief?
President Bush proves that we can be ripped-off while the public is awake.
9 - Fuel cells? Wave of the future, or desperate, pathetic pipe-dream?
Hydrogen fuel cells have recently been proven as a questionable technology;
however, there may be many creative solutions to the world's energy
problems. The problem is implementing enough creative ideas to find a solution before it is too late.
10 - Ms. Huffington: Lunatic cunt with delusions of grandeur, or great
person who really cares about the little guy?
She's climbed into the SUV and is trying to drive herself to Secretmento.
11 - Should convenience store clerks unionize?
As a prior employee of Seven-Eleven I would say no. It might encourage
people to get jobs at these types of businesses that sell products that
are slowly killing us. No More Slurpees!
12 - What is less attractive: Fat girl with stretch marks and eating
disorder, or thin girl with yellow, uneven teeth?
Thin girl with yellow, uneven teeth
13 - What does "Bustamante" mean in Spanish? "Punch your mother", or
something else?
I thought it meant "tomato paste".
14 - Age of consent: 18, 16, 21, or 9 months?
18.
15 - Kobe: Drooling rad-dog rapist, or adulterer trapped by
mentally-deranged slut-puppy?
Adulterer trapped by mentally-deranged slut-puppy
16 - Phil Hendrie - Genius of Jackball?
Just plain dumb.
17 - Gay Marriage: Constitutional right, or sicko perverts upending a
centuries-old bedrock institution of Western society?
Western Society Sucks!
18 - Mexicans: Let 'em all in, or fence in the border like Israel and Gaza?
I thought we were in Mexico already. Every society needs a cheap labor
source to grow.
19 - Ms. Huffington: Completely used-up tramp, or serious political player?
Fancy political cross-dresser.
20 - Mary Carey: Completely used-up tramp, or serious political player?
As serious as Simon.

I liked his answers. I've always wanted to know what the people who work in convenience stores really think about the products they are selling.
BTW, am I the only person who feels sorry for Gray Davis? The whole recall thing is so-o-o humiliating.
My guess is that the "real" William Tsangares did not make comment No. 1
I think the recall thing is humiliating like the Iraq War. You were forced into it like it's supposed to be something good and you really knew better but there was nothing you could do to stop it.
Add your comment, speak your mind

I can't believe this guy is running. He doesn't sound serious. If this is the kind of person who may end up running California I'm voting "No" on the Recall.
