Maxine Waters thinks everyone will lose their job over sequestration, and then some

March 1st, 2013 | No Comments

I kid you not: For what it’s worth, as far as Maxine’s impact on me, I don’t blame Maxine for being stupid, I blame the voters of California’s 43rd District for voting for her. These people right here: She’s been saying stupid stuff for years and the people of Los Angeles just keep voting for [...]

Forbes Takers vs Makers

November 29th, 2012 | No Comments

Forbes Magazine just ran a rather awesome, if not damning, article.  I loved it.  It listed the states where there are more “takers” vs “makers”.  And, it very quickly condemned those states, as well as advising anyone investing to steer clear of those states. One of them, being my own.  They chide those states for [...]

Upon retiring the last of the Shuttles, they will be sent to various locations as museum pieces.  They are expected to be big draws.  Last year Obama allocated $14 for one to be located in Dayton, Ohio.  The money and the shuttle were intended to offset the loss of jobs in Ohio caused by mothballing [...]

A judge has blocked the governor’s order of three furloughs per month, the latest effort to conserve the state’s dwindling funds until a new budget is approved.

Ciro Rodriguez doing his best Pete Stark

July 12th, 2010 | No Comments

Pete Stark did his best in his effort to win the honor of most unhinged Representative.  It’s damn good too.  Hank Johnson going into obsessive detail over his concern of Guam tipping over ranks right up there as well.  Nancy Pelosi confidently assuring us that once we pass health care reform we’ll find out what’s [...]

Healthcare reform and the Older Americans Act

June 10th, 2010 | No Comments

Barack Obama threw the entire country under the bus with his health care “reform”.  People I know immediately made decisions affecting their very lives based on assumptions Obama said would occur, fully knowing they never would.  How many people made the argument that it would require everyone to have insurance?  Go ahead, raise your hands.  [...]

Los Angeles threatens to boycott Arizona electricity

May 19th, 2010 | 1 Comment

This is pure nutroot, unabashed liberal, idiocy run amok here.  The Los Angeles City Council debated whether to boycott Arizona.  Councilman Ed Reyes summed it up best for the enlightened council: “An immigrant city, an international city, (Los Angeles) needs to have its voice heard,” Councilman Ed Reyes said. “It is crucial this great city [...]

Five kids attending Live Oak High School in Morgan Hill, California, were sent home for wearing American flags on Cinco de Mayo.  The school is actually the one that enforced it.  For those unaware, California is in the United States.  The “Mexican” students protesting are in the United States as well. “I think they should [...]

Goodwin Liu

April 16th, 2010 | 4 Comments

President Obama is gearing up for a fight to get Goodwin Liu for the 9th Circuit.  For those not in the know, that’s the one from San Francisco.  It represents the liberal heart and soul.  I don’t think you’re going to find a conservative judge in that part of the world, so that point is [...]
