One is addicted to attention, delusions of grandeur and a belief that money exists in a magical pot that never ends - and the other is Lindsay Lohan.
Allysia Finley argues that California is suffering from spending addiction like starlet Lindsay Lohan - and also a fair amount of denial. 'Smoke free restaurants' do not actually make California the envy of the world any more than the remake of "The Parent Trap" makes Lohan enviable (though she was pretty good). If you look at the decline in the California economy, it happened when the legislature started funding social activism and penalizing businesses that pay taxes - result; a whopping 12% unemployment rate though, since Lohan is 100% unemployed, California has her beat there.
