Wow, even a bunch of Tea Party activists are running like hell from her... GOP bad dream: Birther on ticket I feel bad for the Republicans in CA, having to potentially deal with this nutbag on their ticket. Oh well, it should be quite entertaining. :popcorn6

Mickey Kaus is a reporter who blogs for Slate (although his blog has temporarily moved to his campaign website while he runs for senate). He's running for Senate in the California democratic primary against Barbara Boxer. This is admittedly a long shot, but he has some interesting things to say...

Linky I think that the political ground is shifting. This is probably going to pass. :) What will the Feds do then?

The "multi-talented" Orly Taitz is looking to put elected official on her resume. She's running for California Secretary of State. I foresee some difficulties. For example, the official form for announcing intent to run for office she filed has a couple of errors ... Secondly, she is not...

Linky. Also, the car was somehow taxpayer funded. The more you look the queerer it gets...

Schwarzenegger recently vetoed a bill from the assembly, and sent the following letter to the assembly: http://gov.ca.gov/pdf/press/2009bills/AB1176_Ammiano_Veto_Message.pdf Inside the otherwise rather innocuous letter explaining his veto is a code. Read the first letter of each line to find...

Last month, Kern County's auditor-controller Ann Barnett stopped the performing of civil weddings, in response to the recent Supreme Court overturning of Prop 22, making gay marriage legal in California. Kern County issues the new marriage licenses under the law, but Barnett has taken a stand...

Ann Barnett , the Clerk of Kern County in California has announced that, effective 3 days before gay marriages become legal in California, she will no longer perform wedding ceremonies. It's a very, very widespread custom. While County Clerks are legally entitled to perform marriages, they are...

http://www.latimes.com/news/local/la-me-gaymarriage16-2008may16,0,6182317.story **** yeah. No, the fight isn't over here at all. Still, who wants to lay down odds that the next natural disaster in this state is God's punishment for our wickedness. Cause look at how hard MA's been getting...

The California Supreme Court is expected to rule on a gay marriage case on Thursday of this week. On the ballot in November there will be a Sanctity of Bigotry constitutional pollution initiative. It looks like a major battle is looming between Jesus and equal rights in the Golden State. I'm...

The Governator of California has terminated a bill that would have granted equal rights under the law to fags and dykes. Using Party of Jesus formula number one, the Governator stated that it was not up to the [insert_branch_of_government_recognizing_rights_of_fags] to decide this matter, it...

Doofus Southern CA Rep, Dana Rohrabacher, reinvigorates his seat with stupidity all in the cause of defending some of the more questionable US behavior, with the following admonition to those who find the idea of torture and extraordinary rendition reprehensible: Let's hear it for Dana!

We finally have an atheist congressman (at least one who is willing to admit it). http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/17594581/from/RS.5/

Two days from now, California will almost certainly reelect Diane Feinstein to the senate, despite the fact that she has said that it's okay to have teachers insult atheists every day, and that the First Amendment should be repealed so that we can put people in jail for disagreeing with the...

Clown Is Running for Mayor of Alameda Oct 3, 4:07 PM (ET) ALAMEDA, Calif. (AP) - A real clown is running for mayor of Alameda, and even his sister won't vote for him. Kenneth Kahn, 41, a professional joker known as "Kenny the Clown," admits he's running a long-shot campaign for City Hall's top...

Arnold wants to make it easier to kill your puppies, kittens, hamsters, etc. http://story.news.yahoo.com/news?tmpl=story&cid=2026&e=15&u=/latimests/governorwantstorepeallawfavoringpetadoption What a sweetheart. Why, he's at least as endearing as Reagan!

Arnold is kicking some political @$$ so far in California. The first thing he did was to repeal the car tax. What you might not have heard is that the DMV were dragging their heels on it (big shock, huh?). 'We won't be able to implement that for several weeks because the infrastructure... blah...

Rather good analysis: Schwarzenegger conservatives wreak havoc The right embraces governor-elect who frequently rejects its positions, while making it more difficult to stop tax increases to balance California's budget California's recall -- a riot of millionaires masquerading as a "revolt of...

I was wondering why Davis hadn't or couldn't do what Arnie says he will. It appears to me that it is Californians themselves that have dug their own grave. A state budget that has 80% that cannot be changed because of requirements forced by those same voters. They have been trying to have...

Frank Rich in today's NYT writes: The article, titled "Top Gun versus Total Recall" compares the Hollywood images of Bush and Ahnold and is worth reading. Maher's quip aside, I'm curious as to how conservatives, ordinarily uncompromising in their rhetoric, can fully support this guy. The Daily...

Read the entire article here. From the article: "The bill, signed into law last Friday in a pathetic act of desperation by soon-to-be-ex-Governor Gray Davis, directs the California Department of Motor Vehicles to accept Mexican government documents as valid forms of identification from...

I just struck me that I've heard no mention in the news about who becomes Lt. Governor if Davis gets the boot and Bustamante wins the vote for Governor. I don't know, but I assume that probably the legislature would make the selection. If this is the case, couldn't they appoint Davis as Lt...

This is especially for you California dwellers. But everyone can vote! I have no clue who is runnning, so forgive the unscientific style of this poll..... But I think we all should have a chance to vote!

http://story.news.yahoo.com/news?tmpl=story&cid=511&ncid=757&e=10&u=/ap/20030801/ap_on_el_gu/davis_recall_flynt Now that Arnold seems likely to drop out of the California gubernatorial race:

I got this from the Sacramento Bee's Daniel Weintraub. Pretty interesting, reading this. Davis will stoop to any level, including this new low. He's dragging Shelley through the mud along with him. June 27, 2003 Shelley responds Secretary of State Kevin Shelley says he’s not Katherine...

http://www.cnn.com/2003/ALLPOLITICS/06/15/davis.recall.ap/index.html From the article LOS ANGELES, California (AP) -- A Republican-led campaign to recall California's Democratic governor, once dismissed as improbable, now appears poised to qualify for the ballot -- and to shake up California...

Well, no not really. He might as well have. This liberal boob has all but sealed the fate of this great state. Between his corruption and incompetence, he has nearly bankrupted the state. Heres just one article. There are oodles more if you search...
