John Campbell (R) just announced on the Hugh Hewitt show that the democrats in Sacramento have pulled a fast one. Bill 1058 which has been written about on several posts originally failed. The democrats took a bill on Friday night which dealt with an unrelated subject and gutted out the language. They then inserted the exact language of 1058 and the senate passed it Friday. This (Monday) afternoon the house got the bill. The democrats had to hold a hearing and every office in the capital was available but they chose to hold the "hearings" in the smallest office in the building - the only one which had no TV cameras, no radio, no cameras, and no space for reporters or the public to attend. They then passed a vote making this bill exempt from the 3-day waiting period required by law for public input. The democrats just passed the bill in the last 45 minutes and it now goes to the governor's desk. No republicans voted for the bill in either chamber. One highlight - (Dennis?) Cardoza - the democrat running for Condit's seat voted for the bill in the central valley. He's toast.
Their ultimate goal is to shove us into their absurd public transport projects, with brute force if necessary.
By the way, is that car a Smart, made by a joint venture (if my memory serves) of Mercedes and the Swatch watch people?
If so, Car magazine (UK) tested it and if my memory serves, you'll love it if you want to get into really tight parking spaces, hate it otherwise.
I don't like SUVs myself because they're ugly. But my Mercedes 420SEL sedan is hardly a fuel conservation paragon :-).

Who decides?
You don't need a computer. You are wasting the blood of precious Gaia by using a computer, even if you are off the grid. Sturdy shoes, coarse clothing, backbreaking labor. Those are the things you need. It is decided.
Socialism fails badly. Always has, always will. Failure to recognize that is delusion.

Remember when the Truckers were ticked off and circled the White House to show how upset they were
I'm thinking maybe a few SUV's should head up to Grey Out Davis's place and HONK SOME HORNS
(Scroll down to Auto Shop for other threads on this subject heading)
How can I ever do with less? My wife and kids simply won't let me! THEY LOVE THE MAYOR!
Before I jump to conclusions, I'll ask. What is that comment supposed to mean?
Hehehehe..Gotta love Trucks that carry 6 real real nice and comfy as well as carrying CA Enviro Whacko's vehicles in the bed..
Bet that Gray Davis will sign this bill. Expect to hear the phrase 'the people hired me to make the tough decisions, so I'm making them' just like every time that pol-watchers think that Davis won't sign unpopular legislation yet he does anyway.
It'll also be upheld in the 9th Circuit Court of Appeals as 'Constitutional'.
Pretty soon, New Jersey, New York, and Massachusetts will follow along with similar legislation.
I have seen this movie before.
Ladies and Gentlemen of the FreeRepublic Jury...
The Governor of California is Now For Sale!
The bidding in campaign funds for the veto/signing will be between GANG-GREEN and the makers of "Freedom Machines!"
His mentor, Governor Moonbeam, stopped freeway building, numerous water storage projects, but could hardly stop a Mediterannian Fruit Fly. Together, they have destroyed the most forward looking State in the history of Earth, promoted by Moonbeam's daddy!
