I'll tell you "why in hell!" CA's taxpaying/voting Citizens need ritalin more than any little kids in school!!!
There is a virtual epidemic of Attention Deficit Disorder to matters of good government in this state. Especially, since Repellicans have totally splintered and self-destructed.
If each and every Californian, (American, for that matter) were to dedicate at least as much time and attention as it costs them to earn the money to pay the plethora of hidden and non-hidden taxes, to simply going to public meetings and looking into specific subjects like we do here... or finding ways to figure out simple things like voting for bonds is paying more taxes with the added burden of interest... Dummies like Davis and most of his corrupt Demonicrat cronies would be out on their collective asses in a New York minute!!!
Plus, if we actually had an objective media, these phoney phools could never get away with this crapola in the Crapitol! I mean Geeze... Jerry Brown had the conflict of interest laws toughened severly, then a Demonicrat Superintendent of Public Instruction gets nailed by it and does State prison time, but do any of these Gray Davis staffers and consultants with conflicts far surpassing Mr. Honig's face any threat of prison? NOT!!!
The poor people that are paying attention are becoming so desensitized by the blatant, arrogant corrupt bastards exercising audacity in their abuse of emergency powers to circumvent the "Sunshine Laws" that they just hunker in the bunker and quit even trying to think about it.
Disgusting!!!
I love it!!!
But keep in mind that it is always less than 5% of the people who do all the work at changing things. The other 95% just want to be led. Hang in there.
The entire rant is close to perfection! ADD has more to do with the fourth estate, and how we do not call them on the carpet for not reporting--and I am talking major rug burns!
I have worked extensively in the public sector as a financial officer and contract specialist, and there is more waste than is possibly conceivable. Keep in mind that is only at the local level.
Although statistics can always be manipulated, the bottom line dollars, and collusion, cannot. This Apathetic Draining of Dollars should be the the latest game show on the tele!.Let's tell Gray Gross we want answers! One more time! This guy was our Controller!!!!!! Let's go there!
And AMEN Monisieur Waspman! DISGUSTING!
