Earlier quoted context omitted.

That's the odds of it happening in 7 specific lines. But what are the odds of it happening by chance at any point in time to any person of Schwarzenegger's importance or higher?

Just multiply those odds by the percentage of people that qualify as important.

And by the number of 7-line sequences produced by each.

Looks like Arnold has been spending too much time on 4chan.

Seriously, this is kind of sad. He says nothing about the merits (or lack thereof) of the bill [1]. Governing isn't all about high-PR issues, and appropriate districting is an important part of making working cities.

I'm getting a 403 error on the page. edit: Honestly, can someone the downvote? Clearly, I'm not the only one, as going to Hurl gives the same result: http://hurl.it/hurls/8160ac469b2d5a0b801c8288794badeff8f14b4... .

Perhaps because it's not adding much to the conversation? I don't particularly care that you're receiving a 403. Plus there are several other links to the information. Perhaps, "I'm getting a 403, but here's another link to the document." Lastly, while you may not be the only one, perhaps you're one of very few, and people are simply registering their disagreement via vote rather than comment.

He says that the legislature has more important things to be doing right now. You may not agree, but time is limited and governing is also about making the best use of time. He appears to believe the legislature is using it poorly.
