perfidy

From Matt Welch at Reason:

Yesterday in Bolinas, California, this ballot measure passed with 67.4% of the vote:

Shall the following language constitute a policy of the Bolinas Community Public Utility District? Vote for Bolinas to be a socially acknowledged nature-loving town because to like to drink the water out of the lakes to like to eat the blueberries to like the bears is not hatred to hotels and motor boats. Dakar. Temporary and way to save life, skunks and foxes (airplanes to go over the ocean) and to make it beautiful.

What the effing hell, you ask? Go read the comments, which explain all, my little moonbeams.

The accompanying text from SFGate.com reads, "Jane Blethen, who authored Measure G, now walks around with a burlap headband and strips of burlap tied around her legs and her face smeared with dark brown chocolate"
