ANOTHER WACKY CALIFORNIA DEFICIT BUSTING IDEA

The state of California's budget crisis is so bad that its state legislature is considering a bill that would allow it to consider selling advertising on license plates. Electronically-flashing advertising! The ads would start flashing whenever the car is stopped for more than four seconds. "We're just trying to find creative ways of generating additional revenues," the bill's sponsor, Senator Curren Price, told Time magazine. California is $19 billion in the hole.
