So apparently Californians not only select the wrong governor, they also select the wrong beauty pageant winner.

Poor Christina Silva, who lived for one glorious, be-tiara-ed week as Miss California USA, had to relinquish the title to the far better named Raquel Beezley, after an accounting error was discovered.

Miss Beezley, who represents the eerie, haunted Californian moon colony of Barstow, will continue on to compete in Miss USA.

Mz. Silva, I imagine, will drive her Ford Taurus wagon off of Mulholland Drive "by accident", wearing the crown, sash, and necklace that she was kindly allowed to keep.
