My good friend Eric Hogue may have indulged in a little bit of over-analysis this morning as he penned a lengthy blog post over at Hogue News on the fact that the campaign of ersatz Board of Equalization member Alan Nakanishi made an ‘amateur hour’ faux pax at the California Republican Assembly convention last weekend in Orange County
The committed sin? Nakanishi’s campaign flyers, distributed all around the convention, were printed on official government paper with a watermark. How might that have happened? Well, Eric goes on about that at length. But if you haven’t see it yet, our cool graphic artist buddy Dave took the flyer I brought home and "enhanced" it so you can see the watermark. Check out his work below.
I will ask this question — why in the heck does the state place watermarks on its paper ? And how much does it cost taxpayer to do that. While apparently there is some utility in knowing when "government" paper is used, I would think those would be few and far between. Oh well, state government does a lot of things that make normal people go, "Huh?"
