The NEW ballad of Jed Clampett
Come and listen to a story 'bout a man named Jed
Poor oil entrepreneur barely kept his family fed Then one day he was working for some food,
And up through the crowd come a bumbling fool (Arnold that is, RINO gold, more taxes please)

Well the first thing you know old Jed's taxes are to much to bear,
Kin folk said Jed move away from there!
Said California is no place for you to be
So they loaded up the truck and they moved from Beverly (go’n back to the Hills they are, fish’n holes, country and western stars)

Well now it's time to say goodbye to Jed and all his kin
They would like to thank you folks for kindly dropping in
You're all invited back again to their new locality
To have a heaping helping of their hospitality (Redneck Hillbillies, is what the press call 'em now, Clingers of bibles and guns and to Obama no bow! Nice folks Y'all come back now, ya hear?)

The most depressing thing about California is how far it has fallen.

It once represented the pinnacle of what America was meant to be. The liberal fools in their clueless, juvenile insanity have nearly pissed all of that magnificent largesse away.

The plight of the Golden State is nothing less than a national disgrace. That should make us all sad.

Most depressing: EVERY State Legislator running for re-election in 2008 won. Every spending bill won—even though we were already broke.

We’ll see the same results this November.

The California electorate is SICK IN THE HEAD.

[beebuster2000]

the weather. trust me on this.

[Names Ash Housewares]

Well, I don’t have to garage the Vette for the winter and the women dress scantily.

Ain’t ready to punch out just yet.

[Plutarch]

These programs include Healthy Families, CalWORKS, Adult Day Health Care, In-Home Supportive Services, California Food Assistance Program...

This cheers me up.

[Cyber Liberty]

Most of the "facts" are California's poor performance, by liberal standards. Fell from #1 to #48 in per-pupil spending is not a metric I'd be upset about.

[Mariner]

Yeah, well, we have great weather and the prettiest women.

AND, some areas are worse than others.

Still, I wouldn't want to be in LA or Oakland when the check don't cash...

California is not going to be in drought this year. Rainfall has been pretty good.

[muir_redwoods]

California is reaping exactly what it has sown. I am very sorry for the many good people that live there and voted against this madness but the majority chose this fate.
