Coothi, did I really say that? Cootchi, cootchi, is what I meant..

Does Joe know about this, can he help?

Life, liberty, and the pursuit of cootchi shall be understood as within human rights codes (fill in blank). Hootchi shall be available at river bottom cafes and updown solariums upon request.

Faithfully yours,

o

Joe Nation, this is to alert you to a subversive group acting up in my childhood home town. Be forewarned, the Hotsy Totsys are organizing.

Election Night at the Hotsy Totsy: Baseball, Cribbage and Political Apathy
By Roshonda Sturdivant and Melissa Nix, October 7, 2003 08:48 PM

ALBANY - It's 10 p.m. at the Hotsy Totsy, a low-ceilinged dive at 601 San Pablo Avenue, and the recall results are in. When Arnold Schwarzenegger was announced as the new governor of California, a wave of disappointed cries rang out. Despite the anti-recall stance of most of the patrons, few actually voted on Tuesday.

"I didn't vote. The whole thing seems like a farce," said Bentley Marshall, 42, a maintenance carpenter from El Cerrito. "Look at the president. Look at the whole dirty thing in Florida with his brother Look at the135 people who ran [in the California gubernatorial race], who may have had more sense and better ideas, but weren't as popular or rich. People can't even pronounce their names."

Nick Salibrici, 25, Albany resident and Richmond high school teacher, didn't vote either. "If I had voted, I would have voted no on the recall, "said Salibrici. "Schwarzenegger is a populist. He has no political experience. People will be in his ear telling him what to do."

"All of the sudden you don't like someone and you recall him," said Albany native Joel Shelton, 33, a union metal sheet worker. "The state's budget is screwed up and then we spend 30 million on a recall and we get Arnold."

While most of the customers were clearly upset, an exception was El Cerrito resident Sheila Goldgruber, 40, Hotsy Totsy bartender for the last six years. "I'm glad he's governor. He's going to banish the tripling of the car registrations. He's honest; he came out about being fresh with all them broads. And my husband is Austrian."

Earlier this afternoon, the recall didn't have much buzz in the bar. Its blue-collar patrons were playing cribbage and talking baseball. However when asked about the recall, it became apparent that there was a range of opinion.

California transplant Mike Peterson said, "The people are fed up with the politicians and the way that they conduct themselves. Whatever the outcome is, we'll survive, but I don't think we'll flourish."

On the other side of the bar, the recall had a bit more support. Albany resident and plumber Jimmy Lee said, "You know why this thing [the recall] is good? Because the next S.O.B. that starts screwing the people of California, he'll know that he can be recalled. Schwarzenegger is going to shake things up. He's better than what we've got."

This San Pablo venue has served many functions over the years. In the 30s, according to the regulars, it was a pet hospital that later became a brothel. The venue became a legitimate bar in the early 50s, but kept the brothel's name.

A regular since the 1960s, Lee prefers the bar's earlier days "This whole area of San Pablo -- in one square mile, we used to have 15 to 16 bars. Most are closed now. All the old bar owners were real good people and they took care of their customers." However, he remains a faithful to the Hotsy.

President via supreme court fiat
A new amendment I give unto thee:

A President who gained his Presidency ONLY through the action of the Supreme Court may not seek a second term, thus ensuring that the free expression of the will of the People is not impeded a second time.
Furthermore, the Supreme Court is prohibited from meddling with presidential elections.
