Recently released statistics, though,

      • Schwarzenegger Versus Angelides On New Taxes.
        09/24/06
        When I went out to the snailmail mailbox today, it was, as usual, filled with junk political mailers. Normally, I just toss them out without reading them. This time one mailer caught my eye. It didn't tell me anything I didn't already know but it did bring somethings into clearer perspecti

      • Will Liberals Ever Recognize The Constitution?
        09/17/06
        Will Liberals ever recognize the Constitution and its authority? That is a serious question. Because every day that passes convinces me more and more that the political left has no interest in doing so. At least they have no interest if they cannot lie about what it says as a means to twist it for t

      • Ok You Win! We’ll Negotiate With Terrorists!
        09/11/06
        The constant drumbeat of negativity from the Vietnam, anti any war that they cannot use to make themselves more powerful, left has brought me to the point where I have to admit that it is time to negotiate with the terrorists. So with me today I have Mohammed Usama Achmed Al Zarqawi bin Laden who ha

      • Go West Young Liberals! Go West!
        09/07/06
        California this week took a bold step. Not into the great unknown mind you, but rather into the great already known. Their Assembly approved yet another experiment to once again show the failures of top down, socialist bureaucracies when it approved a bill that would mandate state issued health insu

      • Something for Nothing.
        09/07/06
        It never ceases to amaze me how some elements in our society not only want, but expect, something for nothing.

      • Stranger In A Strange Land.
        09/01/06
        I have lived in California since the mid 1960s and overall I love living here, however, lately I have been feeling more and more like a stranger in a strange land.

        The thing I love most about California is the weather. As far as I am concerned, we have the best weather in the nation. I li
