ASSEMBLY Speaker Herb Wesson finally woke up and smelled the rotten odor of politics-as-usual.
After a deluge of unwelcome media attention, Wesson canceled four consulting contracts that reeked of being either a little help for his friends or the second part of a ``you scratch my back, I'll scratch yours'' arrangement.

The Legislature has taken its normal spring vacation -- more blind deference to precedent in an unprecedented year.
It Takes a Pillage.. :-\
Sad..Rome burns while the State Senate and Assembly get a tan!

California: It's a record low for Davis in poll [65% of voters think he's a lousy governor]
Then compare that to President Bush's poll numbers:
IRAQ:Americans See Clear Victory in Iraq, (73 percent approval of Bush on war )
The Democrats have got a problem. California is the leading example of their inability to manage anything other than their own reelection , graft and corruption!
It's too bad we are not a third world country so we could have a revolt and shoot these dolts on the town square.
I'm sure there is more to the story but this just looks bad.
The laugh of the day.
Looks like Calipooia has "liberalated" itself to death!
What absolute arrogance on the part of the SJMN.
People would kill for an $8,000 monthly salary.
Shame on these liberal elitists for trying to trivialize such lucrative pay.
Time for "W" to send the Marines into "Baghdad by the Bay!" Then on to the Crapitol!!!
Instead of tanks, they need to stop off at that stinkin feed lot next to I-5 and commandeer all the manure scoop loaders to clean out the Crapitol and run it over to a barge at the Port of Sacramento to float it down to "Baghdad by the Bay!"
CA is totally ungovernable as the Governor and Legislature have been made irrelevant by the bastardized "direct democracy" of the threat of ballot box budgeting, planning and policy making. It is no longer a responsible deliberative process!!!
Elected officials are so warped in only trying to look good that it's impossible for them to do anything meaningfully responsible. That's because the initiative process has totally intimidate the legislative process. No one dares make the hard decisions the are so badly needed.
Prop 13 was the last responsible use of the ballot legislation before the political consultants totally corrupted the great Swiss experiment. Natually, I am suspicious of any process that eminates from Europe, in general.
Now we see the European style on-going French Revolution in coastal CA, over-ruling the rest of rational CA in the vast interior!!!
Like regulatory reform? Like elimination of legions of over paid petty bureau-nazis? Start at the schools and work out from there I say! This recession/depression is caused by a whole bunch of I don't give a cluck...aint no never mind to me!?!
Welllll, to steal one a yer war cries Waspman Bring it all down mannnnn!!! Bring down this rotten democratic administration and it's self-serving elitist pan handlers that would trade their children's future for a whore and a line of blow. Are you listening Mr. Burton?
It is irresistable force meeting immovable object - - the only possible result is bankruptcy.
Only then can rebuilding begin.
Yeah, it "looks" like Mike Briggs is not only a scumbag, but a corrupt scumbag.
And that was '73. Amazing how screwed up things can get in a mere thirty years. Almost a billion $'s per year since. Spending addictions are a real b*tch (especially when it's somebody else's money).
Liberal administrations and dictators have something in common: neither are willing to look at reality and make decisions based upon what they see, but instead hold on to fantasy visions which drive them to continually make improvements and expand on their 'palaces' while the state's assets crumble around them. Public service and public works are all ok spending items and need never be cut, however, the private sector need not apply as they don't even register on the radar 'till it's time to rescue the sloppily run, inefficent public sector.
Bailouts are a b*tch.
Comes a time when getting them out of trouble seems futile and the least effective way to teach a lesson. Perhaps it's time to rethink some of these public 'palaces' we support annually.
Thanks for the ping Sierra.
It is sad but very true. A beautiful, bountiful, Pacific rim state with a climate to die for, faces banckruptcy. Why? It's government is all about democracy and mob rule. It's about getting the most votes (well, actually promising to deliver goodies to the greatest number of constituents) and then spending it on high priorities like education where you can indoctrinate the masses into thinking that whatever you're up to must be ok 'cause you're the government.
Gotta wonder what a $30+ billion deficit can do to this picture.
You don't need to steal it, cause it ain't mine!
That snearing war cry belongs to some sniveling hippy commie at a 60's Berkeley protest in the Governor Moonbeam era who was ashamed of our traditional American culture and it's unrivaled success!!!
I Can't forget it as it is an insult and slur to the America I grew up in, and especially to the CA I admired from afar as a teenage midwesterner as Pat Brown put CA ahead of the nation to the pinacle of American Idealism!!!
Now look at it!!!
