The California Primary elections are done and the stage is now set for the final contest in the November Election.  Other than likely seeing some action on the Reiner investigations because of the failure of Prop 82, we can look forward to a relentlessly bitter conflict from the two major candidates for Governor.  How is […]

Poll results broadcast at the time of this post put the vote on Proposition 82 at about 40% for and 60% against. The universal preschool funded by taxing the rich Proposition was widely popular at initial polling but has declined at an increasing rate ever since as people learned about the details and decided […]

We are down to the wire now with the election being held tomorrow and the final pre-election polls are coming in. Looks like Rob Reiner’s Proposition 82, a measure advertised as taxing the "rich" to pay for "universal pre-school" for all children, is going to be defeated tomorrow. This idea with socialist European […]

France is well known for many things but perhaps most famous as the place that makes the best wine in the world.  That reputation still lingers but it is no longer true.  Where is the best wine in the world now made?  California.  First proven in a blind taste test 30 years ago and repeated […]

Voters say they really dislike the nastiness of negative campaigns.  Can’t we all just get along?  Can’t the candidates just focus on only their own positive contributions to the debate?  Can’t they rain Sugar Gumdrops out of the sky and lead us all to the Rock Candy Mountain?   No.  To all of that.
Election campaigns are […]

News of President Bush and the Republican Congress losing support due to increasing anger from the Republican base is all over the Internet today.  This should not be a shock to anyone who actually knows many Republicans… which is likely why our mainstream reporter types just clued in to the phenomenon.  Or maybe they knew […]

But the Terminator […]

It is looking more and more like Rob Reiner’s activities on the First 5 Commission have hurt the chances of his Proposition 82 Universal Preschool Initiative being passed by voters.  The investigations into his use of State Government money to promote his private cause to pass Proposition 82 have raised voter awareness in a negative […]

Los Angeles Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa last night announced his plan to ask the California State Legislature to essentially grant himself as Mayor control over the L.A. Unified School District.  The LAUSD is a gigantic bureaucracy that proves everyday just about every folk saying about incompetent bureaucracies.  This may seem like a harsh statement but it […]

The state of California and essentially all of the smaller governments inside like Counties and Cities are not ready for a flu crisis… and they never will be.  Today’s article in the LA Times goes into detail on all the reasons why we will never be "ready", ready meaning being able to give medical […]

The right thing finally happened long after it should have when Rob Reiner finally resigned his position to his expired term as head of California’s First 5 Commission.  It is telling that he was NOT just replaced outright by Gov. Arnold "I hope I’ll be back" Schwarzenager, who had every right to do so since […]

Our current immigration system isn’t working for much of anyone, its broken and it needs to be fixed badly.  The current immigration and non-enforcement system both leaves our nation totally unprotected from hostile people and at the same time is enough of a barrier that it is just getting a bunch of people who just […]

The recent furor surrounding Rob Reiner as Chairman of the California First 5 commission using his position to fund advertising to support his Initiative for universal pre-school has raised a lot of attention for the issue.  Lots of it not good attention and some are reacting untypically this political season, perhaps because of the stench […]

State legislators of both parties have voted to audit First 5 in the interests of good and honest government, while the Sacramento District Attorney is seriously considering action separately.  And despite broad agreement in the State that Reiner lead the First 5 committee to do imporper and/or illegal things, our Governor Arnold "The Terminator" Schwarzenager […]
