It's a funny one, though. His view on the purpose of Fox News is well-known though.

How many in a drove? Anybody?
If I remember my 4th-grade math correctly, a drove equals 1.3 million ...

But you claimed droves. Ergo, you have no idea what you are talking about.

Then you get the drama queens who use flocks and droves in the same sentence, ergo "The productive sector is (should be are:ed) fleeing California in flocks and droves."

Back to the OP, looks like this is really going to happen, along with the bill Brown signed yesterday allowing illegals to get a license. Why doesnt this piece of **** just come out and admit he is pandering to the Latinos because he needs their votes to carry the state when he runs for Governor again next year? Pathetic. So glad I am leaving this rotten state.
