With the conservatives moving out of the State, my scheme to give California back to Mexico is looking better.

I agree. And don't just look south. Chinese and Filipinos by the droves.

I took a business trip to California. My host probably told me 150 times how "laid back" folks in California are. And they aren't racist like us from the South.

California is eventually going to implode. You can feel it in the air, and sense it, like the first warm gusts of approaching Santa Ana winds.

At the moment, Governor Arnold is maintaining an uneasy equilibrium. He's become a lot like a Democrat recently, but he (unlike President Bush) doesn't hesitate to proclaim clearly when he's opposed to the most loopy leftwing ideas which regularly rise out of Sacramento - and he'll veto things which are stupid.

Unfortunately, he's likely to be replaced by MEChA alumni Villaraigosa. "Villa-LaRaza", as some refer to him, won't veto (any) of the far-left stupid stuff such as drivers licenses for illegals or even more far-left nonsense, because it's all consistent with the "reconquista" agenda he supports.

If stupid law drives non-Mexicans out, it just helps the reconquista.

Something's gonna give with a resounding "uh oh", sooner than later. Might be a quake which sets the stage, or unrest in Mexico, or a national recession - but the current situation really doesn't feel sustainable.

They're not laid back, they're on drugs.

Californians aren't laid-back...they're self-righteous.

Quit posting this my wife is going to see it. She keeps emailing me real estate ads from Wyoming and Montana for 8-bedroom 6000 sq ft homes on 40 acres for $800,000.

They have those here in Idaho, too. Just remember that you have to heat the place in the winter.

I'd like Californians to stay right where they are. They can sell their dumpy houses and pay cash for a 5,000 sq/ft mansion on a golf course in my town, and still pocket a few hundred thousand dollars profit.

Then they complain about things like oil drilling.

If you want things to be like California, stay in frickin' California.

(spoken like a true hypocrite who moved from California over 25 years ago. [grin] )

Too often though, they fail to see that it was their own stupid left wing ideas that caused the problems in Californian so they start tryiong to turn their adopted states into mini versions of California.

Here in the South we are inundated with people telling us how they did things up North. Do the Californians do the same thing to you?

And then they voted against Hayworth and for Mitchell. They also voted Napalitano, for a return engagement.

Grab it. In a few years it will be worth several million.

"...this lady from new york said to me....i can't understand why you people need all these guns."

that's what pol pot, ho chi minh, adolf hitler, mao tze tung, vladimir lenin, josef stalin said. sixty to one hundred million bodies later, the tired, old, much-smarter-than-thou future despots are saying it again.

(they will never learn to mind their own business)

What does a bum call a bus stop in San Diego? His winter home.

Seriously, I lived in S.D. for a long time. San Diego, like most of California, was still quite Republican when I left (after all, California elected George Dukemajen (sp?) and Pete Wilson. From what I hear San Diego is still nice but a lot more crowded and expensive like everywhere else in SoCal.

Here in WV you can get a nice house for $160K that would cost at least two mil out there.

A Yankee is just visting. A damn Yankee is one who moved in next door. :-)

So far, here in Arizona, we have not had to deal with one person who had trouble with English.

Not so in most of Arizona, Enjoy it while you can, it will be in your area soon.
