Former Assembly Speaker Fabian Núñez, who served as both Democratic foil and dealmaker with Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger, has joined the high-powered public relations firm whose California office is currently occupied by Schwarzenegger's former campaign manager and communications director. Núñez, a Los Angeles Democrat, will be the newest partner and co-chair of Mercury Public Affairs, LLC, a political firm with offices in seven cities across the country, according to a letter he has sent to supporters. Steve Schmidt, who was the architect of Schwarzenegger's reelection campaign, and Adam Mendelsohn, the governor's former communications director and deputy chief of staff, are the...

Assembly Speaker and one-time Pomona immigrant advocate Fabian Núñez is heading into a defining year in his young political career, saying he is prepared to get things done. But critics say the Los Angeles Democrat is only prepared to be an "obstructionist." In a legislative session that was overshadowed by partisan bickering surrounding November's special election, the perception that Núñez can't or won't negotiate was reinforced by his outspoken criticism of Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger after election day. Unlike the speaker's Senate counterpart, state Sen. Don Perata, D-Oakland, who was more conciliatory, Núñez had said, "It can't be just one of...

Euro (Silican/Belgian with Canadian citizenship) songbird Lara Fabian wrote "Les Homericains" to protest American foreign policy in her recent CD. Below are the original lyrics in French:============= Des hommes, Quand ils dansent comme personne, Quand ils chantent que ça sonne, D’Astaire à Morrisson, Des ricains, Quand ils jettent du bon vin, On leur foutrait des pains, Là c’est plus nos copains, Tout comme nous, Ils font le mal, Tout comme nous, Ils font le bien, Comme on peut être animal, On peut aussi être humain, Etre homéricains, Des hommes, Quand Michael Moore cogne, Sur un système “qui Bush” on, De...

When we look at the constant assault on all that made America great -- a common language, personal liberty, the right to assemble with whom we wish, conventional marriage, the Boy Scouts, religion, etc. -- we need only look inward to those working among us. We can call them Democrats, liberals, the left, or progressives. The label is not important. By their acts, we know them as socialists and they have a plan to disassemble society as we know it. We have written about the infamous House Progressive Caucus[1] many times before. The Progressive Caucus is the Congressional arm of...

Last spring, I was stunned to hear California Assembly Speaker Fabian Núñez announce that the elusive deal to fix California’s disastrous workers’-compensation system had been all but completed. It startled me because I knew Núñez’s claim of an imminent deal almost certainly was not true. I was closely following the closed-door struggle between reformers, who had Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger on their side, and anti-reformers: sleazy doctors, lawyers and “injured” workers who have sucked the workers’-comp system dry at the expense of truly injured California workers. Even as Núñez announced an imminent deal, he was fighting crucial reforms and was pushing...

Wrapped in their own version of cognitive dissonance, the liberal national media will not ask any tough questions of the Kerry campaign. So, I guess I'll have to get totally politically incorrect for a moment and ask a question many people are starting to wonder about: If John Kerry announced tomorrow that he intended to switch to the Socialist or Communist party, how would his platform change? Really, that's not as nasty of a question as it may seem when we study the cold hard facts. After all, let's face it, not only does it look as if the Democratic...
