  It didn’t take the former Governor of the largest state (in terms of physical size) long to respond to the current Governor of the largest state (in terms of population) after he criticized her “stance on global warming“. Seems kind of strange when a politician whose popularity is on [...]

  Guess we should be grateful for Boxer’s Incompetence

  Sometimes, it’s a good thing that the junior Senator from the Golden State is such a legislative incompetent.  Given her far left ideology, were Barbara Boxer better able to master Senate procedure and the fine points of promoting legislation, she might have done more damage than she has done these [...]

  Hey, Ma’am, what about the jobs in California?

  Remember, back in February, when our junior Senator, Ma’am Barbara Boxer promised us that the “stimulus” was all about jobs.  Well, in metro areas in the once-Golden State, it’s become all about job losses.

  Of the fifteen metropolitan areas recording “jobless rates of 15 percent or worse in October,” nine [...]

  Redistricting Fever – Catch It!

  Redistricting fever is sweeping the Golden State faster than swine flu hysteria. California voters have taken redistricting from the legislature's greasy palms, and put it in their own sweaty mitts. Now, you too can draw legislative districts (no previous experience required) by signing up for the Citizens Redistricting Commission. Special [...]

  Maldo for LG? Who Cares? John Laird Should Be District's Next Senator

  Posted: November 24, 2009, 12:59pm EST

  Governor Schwarzenegger's appointment of State Sen. Abel Maldonado is a good thing for Golden State Democrats. Yes, he may be filling a Democratic seat (John Garamendi is off to Congress). And yes, it will vault a relatively obscure Republican into the top echelon of state officeholders. But the honeymoon is [...]

  Her novels may not sell well, but when it comes to job creation in the Golden State, Ma’am Boxer has a knack for fiction

  Last week, our state’s junior Senator, Ma’am Barbara Boxer, traveled with great fanfare to San Diego to boast about how many jobs the “stimulus” created only to have a news organization debunk her claim.  They found that the $787-billion bill she so energetically supported had created a grand total of [...]

  DeVore Notwithstanding, Fiorina’s a Mainstream Conservative

  If Chuck DeVore wants to run against Dede Scozzafava, he should move to New York.  I believe she’s up for reelection next fall to the State Assembly.

  But, since he seems determined to run against Carly Fiorina for the Republican Senatorial nomination here in the Golden State, he need address her [...]
