I haven’t been to the glorious golden state since working on a travelling carnival back in 1994 - a shocking gap of 14 years. I’m due to pass through again in Jan 2009 and had hoped to find it just as laid-back as when Pete Wilson was Governor.

Now, according to Chris Ayres in the Times, it turns out the ‘SUV-driving, health Nazis’ may well have taken over:

Welcome everyone, to Nannyfornia: Birthplace of the Ban, Capital of the Clampdown, Mecca of the Moratorium. Or you could just call it the new Mild, Mild West.

As we head towards 4 November 2008 and the great Obama vs. McCain shoot-out it seems the Democrats have already won in California and are embarking on some serious Nanny-state style clampdowns. I can’t wait to get there (via Route 66) and see for myself .

California Uber Alles anyone?
