Disproportionate Representation

This whole redistricting thing is really missing the boat. Sure yah it makes a certain amount of sense to make sure that districts are proportionately represented so elections don't go off the rails but the Census simply doesn't account for crazy.

Now if I were doing the redistricting thing I'd take that into account by figuring out where the majority of the crazy comes from. With the help of Channel 8 I'd probably suppose that lots of crazy is alive and well over there in Clear Lake, or is it Clearlake? I always get those two mixed up.

Jeff Smith has his work cut out for him.

With Muabladar still in Jail we decided to call in an expert on crazy - Dr. Frasier Crane does a radio show on some station I don't get but his brother seems pretty off balance so we flew him out here on the Lampoon whirlybird to do some boots on the ground science. Seems he'd been checking out the scene for a while and here's what he gave us to work with:

"Hello Mr. Shrubber, thank you for inviting me to your lovely county. Were I to approach a redistricting project such as this, here's how I'd go about calculating crazy across a geographically defined area. First check out some City council meetings for a peek at the crazy quotient and then you smear crazy all over the county by weighting crazy along with population. Some kinda fancy 'crazy voter' algorythm could figure out how to do this equitably for sure.
When I watch channel 8 and see the City council it becomes apparent that there is a significant amount of crazy there and it just doesn't seem fair that all that crazy vote is the responsibility of but one Supervisor.
Now Kelseyville, no relation, is kinda short on crazy so that buffalo dude should get some in his district and so should that pasty guy Anthony. Though to be fair they did vote for him. I hardly ever hear about those people behind the gates in the South county but then again, are the gates there to keep us out or them in?
I've been to City council meetings over in Lakeport and the crazy is hardly represented at all except by the mayor and since so few people bother to go to those meetings I'm gonna surmise that they just aren't all that crazy.
Lessee, how about the Northshorians. From news stories I'm gonna have to go with plenty of crazy in Niceland, Lucernia and Clearlake Oaksterdamia. Upperlake is kinda farmy so they keep their crazy down in the basement or out in the barn or something and it's hard to tell just how much crazy is out there. Of course anybody choosing to reside that close to where bears live has a screw loose as far as I'm concerned."

As you can see, its really helpful to bring in fictitious people to prove a point, kinda like Francis does with his blog. Come to think of it I'll give Francis a call! He must know all the crazies since they made him Sheriff.

Regardless, we have our own way of dealing with the obviously disproportionate representation and that is to create a sixth district comprised of all the crazy and give a home to all the crazy and those that smoke so much of the local foliage that they seem to have crawled through the back of the closet into the land of Narnia for good.
