| #15 I'm starting to get the feeling that y'all in CA would have been better off with the heroin proponant. |

| #14 It may just my analysis but isn't it funny that in a state house full of democrats, none of them thought they could win the Governors race. Also IMHO Meg suppressed the GOP vote. She was awkward and basically lined up behind Jerry on all issues, especially Illegal Immigration. WE re-elected BOXER? WTF? Boxer was started out with a 20 point gap and ran no until the last month. A very sad day indeed. |

| #13 from the DEAD KENNEDYS which still seems relevant now "California Uber Alles" I am Governor Jerry Brown My aura smiles And never frowns Soon I will be president... Carter Power will soon go away I will be Fuhrer one day I will command all of you Your kids will meditate in school Your kids will meditate in school! [Chorus:] California Uber Alles California Uber Alles Uber Alles California Uber Alles California Zen fascists will control you 100% natural You will jog for the master race And always wear the happy face Close your eyes, can't happen here Big Bro' on white horse is near The hippies won't come back you say Mellow out or you will pay Mellow out or you will pay! [Chorus] Now it is 1984 Knock-knock at your front door It's the suede/denim secret police They have come for your uncool niece Come quietly to the camp You'd look nice as a drawstring lamp Don't you worry, it's only a shower For your clothes here's a pretty flower. DIE on organic poison gas Serpent's egg's already hatched You will croak, you little clown When you mess with President Brown When you mess with President Brown [Chorus] |

| #11 On some cosmic level this is a comedy right? "Whom the gods would destroy, they first make mad", originally in the Greek play Medea by Euripides, the play describes Medea's descent (and her awareness of this descent as it occurs) into self destructive madness where she kills her own children in order to hurt her ex lover. |

| #8 Good luck to you Black Charlie. The pubs are not going to abide a financial bail out. I suspect things may get very ugly when the cheese stops. There may come a day when you won't be able to get out. |

| #7 I really have to get out of this zoo. Head on collision coming for CA. Look at the list of biggest employers in CA. Most of the largest are paid for by the taxpayer. (Long Beach "Financial Mgt" is the City of Long Beach). What's one more industry paid for by the taxpayer? Cisco will soon be off the list because if I remember correctly, it was financing that "Silicon Valley" in Russia that Schwarzenegger went to visit. And much to Hayden's surprise, since he thinks we need to spend even more on education, UCLA alone is the third or fourth largest employer in California. Truly unbelievable. http://www.acinet.org/acinet/oview6.asp?soccode=&stfips=06&from=State&id=&nodeid=12 |

| #6 I saw a fairly funny movie titled Idiocracy. Long story short: An average man and woman are put into suspended animation and awake 500 years in the future. The culture has been dumbed down so much by that time that these two appear to be geniuses. California politics are Idiocracy realized. |

| #5 Tom Hayden? Part of the Bill Ayres "destroy America" crowd back in the 1960s. Hayden; formerly married to Jane Fonda. Still making stupid noises. |

| #4 Every time I think we have bottomed out on stupid here, it gets worse. Driving out all of the manufacturing, entertainment, and transportation hubs by regulation, drying up the central valley agriculture by water diversions to save a tiny fish, reducing water storage by removing dams, now we get a transit and green jobs strategy that relies on taxing what little wealth production we have left. Oh and spending more on education (union demand) to train a future workforce for which there are no jobs. On some cosmic level this is a comedy right? ANd just to make the point even more certain, it looks like the only Republican on the statewide ballot, Cooley, LA DA with a decent prosecution record, is being beaten by the SF DA, whose overall conviction rate for the crimes they chose to even prosecute is a whopping 30+ percent. California is utterly insane. |
