No place on the planet is as beautiful and as naturally rich as California. And few places have become as absurd.
Currently, three California state senators are either under felony indictment or already have been convicted.
State Sen. Leland Yee (D-San Francisco) made a political career out of demanding harsher state gun-control laws. Now he is facing several felony charges for attempting to facilitate gun-running. One count alleges that Lee sought to provide banned heavy automatic weapons to Philippines-based Islamic terrorist groups.
State Sen. Ron Calderon (D-Montebello), who had succeeded one brother, Thomas, in the state Assembly and was succeeded by another brother, Charles, now faces felony charges of wire fraud, bribery, money laundering and falsification of tax returns.
State Sen. Roderick Wright (D-Inglewood), originally entered politics as a champion of social justice. Not long ago, the Democratic leaders of the California Senate in secretive fashion paid $120,000 in taxpayer funds to settle a sexual-harassment suit against Wright. But this time around, not even his fellow senators could save Wright, who was convicted earlier this year on eight felony counts of perjury and voter fraud.

Seriesly, you're one of the bright spots of Free Republic and always good for some levity. Take care and realize that your posts are appreciated. Until we cross paths again...
Like I said, you're a pistol. You're a funny guy!
Hmmm...First you suggest I'm a spy and or am hiding some covert secret thing, but now I'm a funny guy!
You seem confused tex...
And that idea has never crossed the minds of the tourism boards in the other 56 states...
BTW, CA politics are corrupt to the core...Hopefully it might turn around someday...But I’m not real confident for CA or the U.S. as a whole. Very unfortunate.
You bet. It’s just some states need to embellish it a bit more than others.
Cheers...
“What happens when the (misnamed) “progressive” no longer (or ever) believes what they advocate, has no real moral “core”, and is easily seduced by power and privilege”
Yes! Unless they get hit and hit hard in the pocketbook and have no one but libs to blame. Only then will they vote Republican. A big “if.”
True. There is no rational reason for the above, other than to enable their corrupt behavior, and none of it is arguable.
To your list, I might suggest adding the Dem opposition to voter I.D. as well as the connection between Dems and big labor. No fair and ration person would view these as anything but "dirty".
