California, the world’s third largest economy, is in dire straits. Governor Schwarzenegger has called for 1/4 of the state’s budget to be cut in order to deal with a $26 million deficit. Unemployment is at 11.2 percent, nearly two-percent higher than the national average. With the global economic crisis continuing to leave international markets* shaken and unreliable, and world leaders scrambling to find a solution to this catastrophic and systemic disaster, it’s unclear when or how the Golden State will be able to pull itself out from this mess.
Oh wait, never mind, this lady solved it.
Professor of Problem Solving over here. Tenured. (Thanks for the tip, Robin and Jonathan.)
*Right about here is where I clearly stopped having any idea what I was talking about.

I have a solution, someone remove her uterus so she can’t reproduce.
how long did she talk for? watch over her shoulder; the people sitting there change like 3 times!
My girlfriend’s family made their fortune from silkworm mines and vegetable orchards.
hahaha. Of course you’d go for this one instead of the cat concerto I ACTUALLY recommended, but still it’s an honor!
“in the Bush Administration… which was really good”
“fruit trees and vegetables trees, that’s were fruit and vegetables come from.”
“they will last forever! They may go bad in awhile though…”
And that whole things about land being free, oh man. This woman. Bring her onto my debate team, we have some high school competitions to win.
My favorite: “The machine can make it for us.”
yikes. at times like these, i’m reminded of the upsides and downsides of participatory democracy…. she’s engaged enough to go make her voice heard by speaking at a city council meeting (good), but is also a borderline infant intellectually, and can vote (bad).
exactly!
why can’t stupid people just be quiet and let the smart people make the decisions?
don’t worry, stupid people! we’ll totally take your completely useless ideas into consideration before we toss them out and git ‘er done, as you guys like to say!
seriously.
she’s the kind of person who makes every work meeting or college discussion group misery because she has enough self-esteem to feel empowered to share her really, really embarrassingly poorly thought out opinions, AT LENGTH, and doggedly refuses to stop talking until she’s said her piece.
on one hand, you’re happy for her because she appears to be really chewing hard on those ideas and going for it! so, yay! do your best with whatever you’ve got!
on the other hand, go sit in the corner, sweetie, and let the adults talk.
Actually, I think she said “is really good, which is even better.
Forget Sarah Palin or Hillary, Professor of Problem Solving for the first female president. Now that we have the ideal candidate, now we just need to come up with a better slogan than Yes We Can!
“The food’s free, so we should just sell it at the farmer’s market!”
Not quite as catchy, but I think she’s got enough moxie and pluck to take her all the way
Meet John McCain’s next running-mate.
Someone clapped at that? Must have been her boyfriend.
Really? I didn’t see Gabe in audience…
Everybody is Gabe’s girlfriend.

It’s like a someone has been infected with GOOP and decided to try talking politics.
amazing. i agree with almost everything she has to say. unfortunately that’s only 20% of communicating (or whatever i’m not a mathematics/communications regent scholar).
Mrs. South Carolina’s older sister, in the flesh, ladies and gentlemen. Three claps!
I thought exactly the same thing. You must be smart. And, such as.
I personally believe, that US Americans, the crops are free, and such as…farmer’s market.
father?
Wow, so many things. I like to think that the people seated behind her were playing a game of Hear Something Stupid Chairs because they were really switching around a lot. Also, the one person that clapped is everyone’s boyfriend.
As an east coaster, I hope my slave doesn’t watch this and start askin’ “What’s a union?”
Love of Laughing
God forbid! How are you going to pay rent on all that land without the profits of slave labor?
How awesome would it be if we really did have slaves? Awesome. I mean, I’m black, but I’d still get one, right? She said something about China right after. Chinese slaves for all!
DUDE! How do you not have a slave yet? Get down to east coast city hall and demand your fucking slave! Having a slave is the shit.
Cotton, mining metals, and silkworms? She stole my economic improvement platform when I run for governor! My slogan was going to be K.T.P. FOR GOVERNOR: WE BELIEVE IN THE UNION, AND THAT’S WHAT WE ARE.
This lady solves healthcare: “Well first of all, like, i think that we should just health these people, you know, these people who don’t have like insurance, we should just health them up you know, because whe have all these hospitals and like, health is free, like I’m healthy because I’m organic, so we should just health these people who need it with organs and that way we could sell them at the farmer’s market, and because health is free. George Bush said let there be health for all and that was good, so why not just free organs for everybody who needs them at the farmer’s market? Thank you.”
does anyone know how she did in the bathing suit competition?
Don’t worry guys, if things go bad, the machines can just turn them into cars. We are Californians! We live here!
As far as Santa Cruz goes, she’s one of the articulate people up there. She’s right about the silkworms, though.
I lived there for five amazing years and I saw a lot of shit but I never saw nothing like this.
I live in California! I agree…this is where I live. This is my home. In conclusion, growing food is so good.
If we’re now in the business of posting coucil meeting insanity rants, we’d run out of Internet by Tuesday.
just beautiful. I can’t wait for the autotune remix.
Does the dynamite still go BOOM if nobody there is able to understand what the fuck she is talking about?
I like the kid in the back who just barely learned to think and still knows enough to shake his head in solemn disapproval.
While I was watching, all I could think of was this prophetic comic depicting this girl’s career path:
Ms. Doe, when i gave you a week extension (against my better judgement, i might add) it was in the hopes that you would be able to deliver a comprehensive and intelligent report suited to the goals set for you. It is clear to me however, that not only did you fail to write such a report, you did not even open your copy of The Lion, The Witch and The Wardrobe.
Get that woman away from my cocaine.
You try to diagram those sentences, you get the 216-digit number from “Pi.”
Then you die 7 days later. Or something.
it’s $26 billion, professor gabe
also, it’s the world’s 8th largest economy not 3rd.
it’s $26 billion, professor gabe
I would tell that woman to go back to school, but I have a terrible feeling that school is what did this to her.
My theory is that she had to do this for a class. You know, like for extra credit and stuff.
If I were in charge of East Coast slavery, I’d give black people double the slaves as everyone else, to make up for earlier sufferings. An eye for an eye, that’s what I say.

Why all the spaces between before your punctuation marks ? Was that supposed to signify something ? Or do you just really enjoy hitting the space bar ? ? ? ?
Because, you just dropped in here, right?
Welcome.
Umm, You’re welcome?
This lady clearly did her research. From an economic text book copyright 1858.
Maps, she forgot to ask for more maps.
I can’t believe no one started laughing. The people in the backround are sitting there like, “Uh, God, another one of these bureaucrats-in-training trying to have her 15 minutes.” This woman has GOT to be the purest form of crazy there is.
I’m going to start concluding all my arguments with, “…so we should just sell it at the farmers market.”
Who farted?
When she started talking about slaves, I became convinced this was a prank, or maybe some weird attempt at local politics filibustering.
Is this a GoDaddy.com commercial?
The motion proposed is the naming of our movement as the C.U.S.M.P.F.M. (Californian Union of Silkworms, Machines, Pesticides and Farmers Markets). All in favor say ‘like totally or whatever’.
This was funny at first, but as I thought about it, I realized that this women is probably not stupid but is likely suffering from schizophrenia or some other mental impairment. Hopefully, with health care reform, people like her, many of whom do not get adequate care and end up homeless, will get the treatment they need. And then we can truly laugh at the stupid, like Miss North Carolina, our US Senators (did you watch the Sotomayor hearings, those guys are really dumb) and such as.
i only clicked on this video to get a better look at her bosoms. her talking made me quickly stop the video. she’s the worst.
Can anyone translate that?
If I was in California I’d be investing in Crystal Meth. That and slaves.
