In an effort to close the huge budget deficit facing the state of California, Governor Schwarzenegger has announced a plan to sell off 220 state parks. This raises the question of how the hell do you sell a state park, who the hell would buy it, and what the hell would they do with it? Since the giant fear is that they'll sell the land to some real estate developer who'll then cut down the trees to build more strip malls, here are some ideas of who to sell it to so they can remain parks:

-Corporations. The easy and obvious answer as they can buy the naming rights for the various parks and use the parks for advertising, like Oracle Presents Humboldt State Park or Bank of America Mountain.

-Disneyland. They'll cut down all the parks, of course, but then they'll go ahead and build amazing replicas of the parks with animatronic animals that sing and forest-themed rides, like the John Muir Forest Adventure or the Sierra SUV Rollercoaster.

-Donald Trump. He has just enough of an ego to buy a park or two just so he could name it after himself. Yeah, it'll probably involve some development but how could he not jump at a chance to have his name associated with some of the most beautiful places in the world, like Lake Tahoe's Donald Trump Bay or Trump Redwoods State Park? It’s not easy having a park named after yourself, after all, as it usually involves being some sort of environmentalist and who wants to be that?

-Google: They have the money and I'm sure the genius’s there will be able to figure out something nifty to do with it. Besides, it'll make them that much closer to world domination.

-China: They’ll just eventually own it anyways

-Local Native Tribe: Who wouldn’t want to go to a casino located in a beautiful state park?

-Offer the trees shares in the national park so they could be gain ownership of the parks and be the very first tree-owned forest.
