(Whitman ad with commentary thanks to “Level the Playing Field.” While we’re at it, don’t forget to vote Yes on Prop 15 – to get us that much closer to a state and nation where people no longer think they can buy an [...]

“Prop 15 is another theft of tax dollars: It pays for the elections, ‘the candidates costs,’ from taxpayer funds. hoping that a fee (an uncollectible fee) will recover the tax [...]

Obama swearing in ceremony surpassing all records. In midst of dire recession and brink of chaotic depression, President-elect on $60 million spending binge.
By the time the balls are over, the Slave Maids are done parading and the feast “reminiscent of Lincoln” is finished, Barack Hussein Obamas Inauguration orgy will be the costliest “party” in American [...]
With historic deficits and huge cutbacks in State Services to be had…..with falling Real Estate prices on Commercial properties looking at 25 percent down with Residential properties scheduled to fall 35 percent over the next two years……..”Houston…..we have a problem!”
Governor Arnold has more or less decided to round out his career in Sacramento as a [...]
The last time there was a “Dictator in Perpetuity” was in 44 BC. Julius Caesar got that job and on the Ides of March – March 15th, 44 BC…paid the price for inflated hubris and ego driven power! Why Michael Bloomberg, Mayor of New York - is now leaping up to bid; is fascinating.

Good grief….what an amazing election year. The events of the day have created a variety of command decision making on the part of the electorate. Big changes are afoot as we know in our economy, our social fabric and our world. It would be too easy to just close our eyes, hold our noses and [...]
