Where criminals are still free and desperately arguing for a continued coverup of their crimes:
I’m not amused that the Wall Street Journal solicited an op-ed attacking the decision to try KSM in civilian court from one of the people–John Yoo–with the biggest conflict on such a decision. It’s [...]
Say what you want about the Bush family, but Jeb Bush did some good work in Florida in education reform and even those Jeb is gone, good things are still happening. I found this St. Petersburg Times story to be very interesting.
Out of the blue, the FCAT has a [...]

I’m confused. I missed the part where the UC regents have access to a magic wand they can wave to produce $500 million out of thin air.
The whole freaking state of California is broke. No, wait. “Broke” implies you just have no money. [...]
Well, that didn't work out.
The much ballyhooed recall effort against Assemblyman Anthony Adams, R-Hesperia, died with a whimper today. Secretary of State Debra Bowen announced that of the...As we noted today, California’s nannies have ordered us no longer to buy and sell TVs they don’t like, even if we do like them and don’t mind paying to run them. Thanks so much Big Brothers, and you know who you are.
Well, despite the fearful likelihood that [...]
Here are the favorable/unfavorable ratings:
Favorable / Unfavorable
Barbara Boxer: 51 / 41 +10
Chuck DeVore: 31 / 25 +6
Carly Fiorina: 40 / 29 +11
California GOP U.S. Senate candidate Carly Fiorina on the Kudlow Report (November 18, 2009)
But, the but is a big one. Carly Fiorina polls [...]
Hey, if the "better" ideas of the right mean something and are to communicate something, the first thing that needs to be done is the carpet bombing to a wet spot on the tarmac of "Townhall.com." Check this crapulous [...]
But, the but is a big one. Carly Fiorina polls better than Chuck DeVore but continues to trail the incumbent Democrat Senator Boxer.
[...] Generally we use the "Matrimonial Madness" category for discussions of same-sex marriage; but not this time. Today, in a bolt from the blue (staters), the Senate Democrats have snuck a ringer into Majority Leader Harry "Pinky" Reid's (D-NV, 70%) version of ObamaCare... they created a new tax with a nasty [...]
? The UC fee hikes went final. A sad day' [...]
California Attorney General Jerry Brown ruled Thursday that the California Citizens Compensation Commission can cut the salaries of state lawmakers, setting in motion an 18% pay cut for members of the Assembly and Senate. The salary reduction will take effect Dec. 7, and reduce legislators' pay from $116,208 a' [...]
Just a few minutes ago, at the University of California Board of Regents meeting being held today at UCLA, the board formally approved a 32% fee hike for students in the UC System. The Regents claim they have no other choice because the state is facing huge budget shortfalls next [...]
Tuesday’s dismal turnout at the polls added fuel to the call to do away with polling places and conduct elections entirely by mail, as is done in Oregon, two small California counties and at least one California city.
Just 9,172 - 4 percent - of the 72nd Assembly District’s voters went [...]
Some days the good news just keeps comin’. Attorney General (soon to be governor?) Jerry Brown says the state Constitution permits the California Citizens Compensation Commission to reduce legislators and other elected officials’ salaries in the middle of their terms.

Legislative leaders resisted the Commission’s contention that [...]
