California is the Short Bus State.

Brown was the guy who was the impetus behind the creation of the public employee unions, which is the major cause of CA’s current financial crisis. And yet he is again back in Sacramento.

My fellow CA voters are idiots.

I lived in CA during the Brown years.

I too was quite surprised that he managed re-election.

California , once well known US state, passed away on Nov 2, 2010 at the age of 160 years.

The old zombie/hippie drags himself up from the grave to haunt California to its death. Just finishing the job he started.

I can’t decide who is more delusional, Brown or the voters that elected him. Someone on the Telegraph website commented on his impression that Brown is “madder than a box of frogs”. LOL!

Not to be too picky, but I think they are not idiots but insane since the accepted description of insanity is to keep repeating the same thing while expecting different results.

Of course they may not be expecting different results - then of course they would be idiots.

“went on to give Jimmy Carter a run for his money in the 1976...”

Jerry “Moonbeam” Brown never gave anyone a run for their money.

California Uber Alles is a great song:

Zen fascists will control you
Hundred-percent natural
You will jog for the master race
And always wear the happy face

When they get rid of Prop 13, I don’t want to hear one peep out of these libs who own property about their taxes.

I think it is pretty easy to understand. The state is about to go bankrupt. Under the leadership of “so-called” Republican Arnold the state has gone down the tubes. In the mind of the inane voters out there who forgot what a real Republican (Reagan) looks like, they were giving the Democrats a chance. Is it really anymore complicated than that?
