Paul is dead.
Well thanks...
BTW, don't expect anyone to answer the last two questions...
I agree. People who are powerholics don't deserve an intervention. The only way they can recover is to hit bottom first. They can get out only if they have the wisdom to realize what put them there.
Bump.
Bummed out here in CA too. Wish I could enjoy the great news elsewhere and the majority in the House.
I was attracted to Idaho because it is LESS humid than San Diego. My extended business trip in San Diego is pummeling me with skin rashes and athlete's foot. Problems I didn't have in Idaho.
I left Pocatello on July 5th...just as the weather warmed up. Arriving in San Diego, I found the coldest summer on record. Wonderful...NOT. Overcast and misty all summer except for 2 one-week stretches. The morning and evening traffic jam makes the commute an hour each way vs working from my home office in Idaho. A big waste of time and money. I don't have access to a kitchen, so I eat at local restaurants. That takes another hour for dinner. Sales tax is 9.75% in San Diego vs 6% in Pocatello. Gasoline prices are 30 to 50 cents per gallon higher in San Diego vs Pocatello. The half gallon of soy milk I purchase at the store in Pocatello is $2.99 vs $3.99 in San Diego.
I moved my sizeable firearms collection to Pocatello from San Diego. Many items are now illegal to purchase or possess in CA, but not in Idaho. I can never bring them back, nor do I want to do so.
WA and CO have been invaded by CA liberals. Their political demographics have shifted to the left.
BTW, snow on the lawn means I don't have to mow it. I have the weekends to read or do things with my computers. That's not an option in the summer when the yard demands a fair bit of attention. Cold outside means I can light a fire, put on a good movie and have my puppy sleeping in my lap. In the summer, the sun sets as late as 9:13 PM. That leaves 3 or 4 hours of light after work to zip down the roads on my bike. The earlier sunset in San Diego and crowded roads mean I rarely have sunlight after my work day.
If all the conservatives fled Congress, or Texas for that matter, would you expect those places to remain conservative?
I made the mistake of going to Idaho several winters ago, rented a car up there...Drove on the ice for several days and nearly froze to death...and aged several years....
When I got back in Southern Californian to 73 degrees in the middle of December, my Orange trees which were loaded, and never looked so damn good!
BTW, you being in Idaho and complaining about the cold in San Diego, is funnier than a barrel of monkeys!
Third World California will be begging for a bailout.
I say, let’s give them a boycott instead..produce, wine, etc.
Your fedgov has got you into 13 **TRILLION** in debt, for the next 25 generations and your worried about California?
lol...
No more gringo money left to mooch and loot.
Third-World CA should lawyer up with their “discrimination, feminist” savior....Gloria Allred to save them once again!
Your fedgov has got you into 13 **TRILLION** in debt, for the next 25 generations and your worried about California?
Precisely!
Hmmm...I didn't think so...
I wasn't amused. It was sunny with temps from 70 to 90 in Idaho. At the same time, San Diego was gray, overcast, misty with temps from 45 to 63. A pissy summer in San Diego. Recall, I'm a CA native who grew up in San Diego. Most of my life between 1956 and 2001 was in San Diego. It went down hill fast in the time frame from 1969 to 1983. I moved from Chula Vista to Mira Mesa in 1983. The ghetto moved north and arrived in Mira Mesa around 1995. The drive-by shootings and gang graffiti became common by 1998. It was time to find a new place to live. I did. I'm happy with my choice.
I wasn't amused.
San Diego has some of the best climate on planet...Better than many climate zones in the Mediterranean region..But hey, I guess Pocatello Idaho has it beat!!
:o
Yep. And what are the Californiacs going to do about it? Vote Democrat??
I live in Oregon, and the best we could do is split the state house.
However, I am very excited about Fly Over country. You know...the Country Class.
Face it...the NE and the west coast are where liberals dwell.
God love the middle of the country for herding them in high concentrations to the outside margins of the country, for the most part.
In 2012, I will be concentrating on, and sending donations to, those who live in Fly Over country.
If we can get the numbers we need there, we’ll be fine, even though we don’t like the governments in the states in which we live.
“but so did Mexican marijuana farmers”
How so ? If Prop19 had passed, Californians would have grown their own and the price would have fallen. Basic economics — more supply = lower prices. Demand would not have increased anywhere near enough to offset the new glut of supply.
So Mexican farmers would have lost more if Prop 19 had passed. As it is, their profits are guaranteed to continue.
Voters for Whitman were those most concerned for the economy in the next year and those who are personally worse off financially. White women and men voted for Whitman. If you are old enough to remember Gov. Jerry Brown Part 1, you were least likely to vote for him.
Last I looked Orange County had less than 40% turnout, below the state average, so those Republicans stayed home.
L.A., the middle coast and Bay Areas once again sealed our fate. That only the GOP AG candidate, likely because he was from L.A., could be competitive paints a grim picture. Everyone else basically lost by 10%. Meg & Carly could've done that without spending half what they did.
Potentially far worse than Brown is that 50% budget approval.
Why did Mexico’s president urge the passage of the bill? He knew we had to buy the buds at least somewhere; also, Mexicans would do the picking Americans wouldn’t do.
Imagine how this would have changed things for children in California: “When I grow up I want to be a pot farmer”.
