California to Ah-nuld: DROP DEAD

Subtitle to this post: Schwarzenegger’s Revenge. California’s about to go Third-World! Why you may be asking? Well some of us haven’t received our unemployment checks for weeks. Others have actually had them BOUNCE. Yup, I don’t think anyone would have anticipated a check from the Federali with no legal tender but it has happened. Despite [...]

Arnie If You Want Real Reform Here’s Where You Start

So the Governator’s second round of ballot measures got the perverbial smack down last night. Every Propostion with the exception of 1F which called for cap on Legislator salaries in an economic downturn. With low voter turn-out California voters sent a very clear message they’re not happy with Schwarzenegger. Why should we be. He rode [...]

California Statewide Special Election: More Disdain for the Little People

There are times when I think the only ideology separation between the Texas and California Governors is Maria Shriver hitting one of them upside their heads when they get too right wing. That and quite a few of us rabble-rousers keeping the illusion of a liberal State going. I’ve written quite a few blogs about [...]

President Obama’s Weekly Address

This should be subtitled the Good News/Bad News Scenario. Well he’s letting us know the economy is in the crapper! He’s saying he showed up on Day One with things worse than ever. He’s telling us things will deteriorate before they level off. We’ve been warned. This address is total CYA for him and [...]

Why Are So Many Companies Going Under?

Can we got some detailed explanations from economists WTH is going on with the economy?! I do NOT understand why all of these companies from Circuit City to Yahoo to the friggin’ Postal Service are reporting millions – and billions – in losses! What have they been doing the past 8 years? This isn’t [...]

So Now the Rethugs Are Concerned About the Budget?!

It’s day 8 of the Obama Administration. He was sworn-in approximately one week ago. The President wants a huge stimulus package to make it’s way through Congress so he can sign it into law. The economy is in the toilet. While politicians want to add pork and hem and haw over semantics they are [...]

Ah-Nold Channels A Little Palin & Shrub in 12 Minutes or Less

Sigh. Big Sigh. What can I say that hasn’t already been said? During his latest State of the State address Schwarzenegger claimed the Dems and Repubs won’t play together to agree on a budget and yet – and yet – he keeps vetoing everything put in front of him. He wants all of the [...]

A California Carol for Our Gov

T’was the day before Xmas and all through the state, disgruntled citizens are sharpening their stakes. Is that Morgan Freeman I hear or a really good impersonator? Yup, it’s him. I am so relieved to know I’m not *crazy* about my outrage over the Governator’s failure to lead. He tried blatant right-wing tactics when [...]

CA Wants to Cap Students But Give Admins Raises?

Ineptitude strikes again! The State is facing an $11B deficit but the Governor can’t make the legislators come together to fix the budget? There’s talk of slashing every vital service down to the bone, including limiting the number of new students attending State Universities and Community Colleges while raising fees. But wait for it, the [...]
