From Tim "Pie in the" Eyeman's press release:

"We have had our attorneys researching alternatives and drafting a new initiative with the hope that we would be pleasantly surprised by the court ruling and would never need to file it."

Translated out of Newspeak: We knew that 695 was a "turdsie-pop" initiative (ie candy on the outside, turd in the middle)... thats why we had a bunch of lawyers (interesting irony there), coming up with alternatives for 695 while it was still "in-utero"!

"with the hope that we would be pleasantly surprised by the court ruling and would never need to file it."

I would have been very suprised as well. Once again, they knew that they could pull the wool over the voter's eyes... BUT PROBABLY NOT THE SUPREME COURT'S!!

"We think the ruling is a bit kooky but we are stuck with it and must move forward."

Here we go again Timmy... How can the ruling be "kooky" when you werent really that suprised by it?

What a bunch of mental midgets.
