040943 - 3. Administration Spokeswoman reported this afternoon, the
040944 - governor is in fair to guarded condition following emergency
040945 - surgery to recover from severe stroke during an emergency
040946 - meeting of his cabinet.
040948 - ..
040949 - 4. The 76 year-old governor in the 1st year of his 3rd term, after
040950 - winning robust re-election last November, reportedly collapsed
040951 - this morning while meeting with his top advisers in Sacramento.
040952 - The meeting was originally scheduled to plan implementation of
040953 - last weeks order for Californians to reduce water consumption
040954 - by 25% in response to the drought.
040956 - ..
040957 - 5. Anonymous sources say the governor was laying out interim
040958 - procedures for encouraging compliance with new regulations to
040959 - save water. The governor endorsed the mildest enforcement plan
040960 - calling out the National Guard to form roving swat teams
040961 - reinforced with tanks, helicopter patrols and satellite imaging
040962 - to ferret out draconian water guzzlers for approbation, fines,
040963 - imprisonment . President Obama had already offered federal
040964 - support by assigning teams from the CIA, NSA, and FBI to direct
040965 - the enforcement regimen, and reinforced by elements of the 3rd
040966 - Army, diverted at the last moment from their new mission
040967 - announced earlier today for deployment to deter mounting crises
040968 - in the Middle East and Ukraine, the South China Sea, Africa...
040969 - The administration emphasized allocating National Security
040970 - assets clearly underscores commitment to global warming,
040971 - attributed with causing drought in California, which experts
040972 - say has occurred 10,000 times over the past 1,000,000 years.
040974 - ..
040975 - 6. The governor became agitated when someone asked why spend money
040976 - to prevent people from using water? What about investing to
040977 - increase supply through additional pipelines, waterways and
040978 - storage, as the Governor's father, Pat Brown, had done during
040979 - his administration 40 years ago? The Governor pointed out this
040980 - short-sighted thinking hurt the environment, citing extinction
040981 - of the blue-tailed field mouse in the wake of adding water
040982 - capacity for a growing population. Everyone quickly nodded
040983 - concurrence that nobody has heard of the blue-tailed field
040984 - mouse lately.
040986 - ..
040987 - 7. As the meeting continued, someone reported it was raining today
040988 - during the summer in California.
040990 - ..
040991 - 8. This caused considerable consternation, when it was pointed out
040992 - the central enforcement mechanism for discovering Californians,
040993 - who are mean and insensitive to the environment, by identifying
040994 - those with green grass. The essence of the "Green Grass" plan
040995 - (GGP) assiduously documents violations of 25% water use
040996 - reduction based on comparing properties with "brown grass."
040997 - Violators could then be arrested and sentenced without trial
040998 - under the new temporary, emergency procedures to save the
040999 - environment, which the governor has promised will end when the
041000 - rains come again. In the meantime water guzzling criminals
041001 - would have assets impounded and be sent to concentration camps
041002 - for re-education and training to care for the red-tailed field
041003 - mouse, which the EPA is planning to identify as an endangered
041004 - species that thrives on grass.
041006 - ..
041007 - 9. The Brown administration considered this a win-win solution by
041008 - reducing water for lawns and giving a helping hand to creatures
041009 - who thrive on grass, like the red-tailed field mice, gardeners,
041010 - manufacturers, distributors salesmen for lawn mowers,
041011 - irrigation systems, fertilizer. It seems there is a ripple
041012 - effect in the economy from turning green grass to brown. An
041013 - emergency fund is being set aside to provide food stamps and
041014 - health care insurance for those affected by the GGP.
041016 - ..
041017 - 10. Suddenly, however, Governor Brown collapsed on realizing months
041018 - and years of planning to save the environment caused by the
041019 - drought was suddenly threatened by rain.
041021 - ..
041022 - 11. A proposal was floated to order arrest and massive fine to God
041023 - for allowing rain during the summer in California. When it was
041024 - pointed out that someone would have to die to serve the arrest
041025 - warrant in heaven, the Governor evidently took it upon himself
041026 - to personally perform this task demonstrating total commitment,
041027 - so essential to a lasting legacy.
041029 - ..
041030 - 12. The silver lining in the "clouds" for the Governor is
041031 - meteorologists forecast that, while today's rain will make it
041032 - more difficult to discover and punish wrong doers in the near
041033 - term by making everyone's grass green, the lineaments of the
041034 - GGP can go forward in a month or so, as rain subsides, so that
041035 - more money can be spent on prevention, rather than enabling
041036 - people to water the lawn, wash cloths, dishes, shower.
041038 - ..
041039 - 13. The Governor's spokeswoman reported Governor Brown smiled while
041040 - being wheeled into surgery, on hearing the GGP can likely be
041041 - fully implemented after a short setback. Doctor's say, if the
041042 - rain stops, the Governor has a good chance to recover most of
041043 - his functions, enabling further initiatives to fight the
041044 - ravages of global warming. Californians are left to ponder
041045 - what to pray for, as at this time rain continues to fall.
