When Jerry Brown was elected governor for a third time in 2010, there was widespread hope that he would repair the state’s crumbling and dysfunctional political edifice. But instead of becoming a Californian Mikhail Gorbachev, he has turned out to be something more resembling Konstantin Chernenko or Yuri Andropov, an aged hegemon desperately trying to save a dying system.

” an aged hegemon desperately trying to save a dying system “
That’s gonna leave a mark....
California still has a way to go before it is brown’s ideal society:
A dope-smoking hippie commune with free munchies for all dudes and chicks!
......excerpt from the last paragraph of the article...
Why was there widespread hope that he would repair things in the first place? Didn’t they know from his first two terms that he was a leftwing lunatic?
With the majority voters in Ca. a cabal mixture of unionists, (pensioners) liberals, hollyweirdos, envirowhacks, feminists, GLBT, 3rd world socialist loving imports and other assorted rebels plus the ever increasing exodus of productive businesses and conservatives the state seems to be on a crash course therapy to turn it around. When the populace is filled with so many idiots who vote for their lame Dem overlords in Sacto eventually somethings gonna go pop with an ensuing mess.
“co-dependent evil twin Nevada”
What the H3$$?
Nevada is NOTHING like Kalifornicate’ya!
Article seems muddled, is the author trying to make a point or just being bombastic?
Nevada is not so dominated by socialist, we have a republican governor who actually follows republican principles for the most part.
His insult to Nevada makes the entire rant suspect.
“With the majority voters in Ca. a cabal mixture of unionists, (pensioners) liberals, hollyweirdos, envirowhacks, feminists, GLBT, 3rd world socialist loving imports and other assorted rebels”...........
Don’t forget about the illegal aliens who vote.
In fact barrystroika was coined in relation to an article by a Middle East Muslim claiming that Allah would send a U.S. version of Mikhail Gorbachev to destroy the U.S.
That was about four years ago at least.

Remember this?
It appears that no one has reserved this for a domain name. Could be a great pejorative name for the Obama shenanigans and and left-wing nutcase feeeeeeeeeeeeelings about things economics.
And Brewer, Arpaio, and others are going to start building that fence on the border themselves. I refer, of course, to the one with Californica.
Governor Yuri Brown...hehe.
I remember it being my take on "HOPE AND CHARGE"
