The Davis administration isn't vindictive. Or lying about state hiring freezes. Oh no no no, not them.
To: John Jorsett
And within days Capitol Weekly publisher Ken Mandler got something himself - - word that the governor's office was pulling all the state's job listings from his paper, effective immediately Typical cockaroach move, which is what should be expected from this a$$ clown.
Is it just me or is this a BLATANT abuse of power?

By June, seven months after the job freeze went into effect, some 22,000 new jobs had been filled -- just slightly below last year's unfrozen pace. Put it all together and -- freeze or no freeze -- you have a state payroll still growing to record levels.
Ah... Now you know how squat Davis
building up his support base from..

Davis is clearly losing it big time. Has anyone sen his strawberries?
I can't wait for him to debate. It would be great if he went bananas on network television.
To: ElkGroveDan
Thanks for the ping. Love to see Grayout Devious lose it live!

They were all disloyal. I tried to run the ship properly by the book, but they fought me at every turn. If the crew wanted to walk around with their shirttails hanging out, that's all right, let them! Take the towline - defective equipment, no more, no less. But they encouraged the crew to go around, scoffing at me and spreading wild rumors about steaming in circles and then 'Old Yellowstain.' I was to blame for Lieutenant Maryk's incompetence and poor seamanship. Lieutenant Maryk was the perfect officer, but not Captain Queeg. Ah, but the strawberries! That's, that's where I had them. They laughed at me and made jokes, but I proved beyond the shadow of a doubt, and with, with geometric logic, that, that a duplicate key to the wardroom icebox did exist. And I would have produced that key if they hadn't pulled the Caine out of action.

Oh, wouldn't it be great to have a Davis commercial from the back in which he is fiddling with some steel balls and blaming someone for the strawberries.

Well, he certainly has a pair of big brass ones to play with if he thinks he can pull stunts like this get away unscathed. He now has a paper that caters to 10,000 govt. employees that has every reason to trash him.

CAPTAIN QUEEG PINGROFL!!!...I saw this story as part of the daily news clippings I receive at work. I'm glad FReepers are picking these up.
There was another story I saw this morning that said that listeners to KFI last week called the governor's office to urge him to veto the air emissions legislation, but the number they called was the press office, not the legislative or constitutent service office. Consequently, a Davis staffer said that "all the calls were in vain," meaning that the press office didn't have the decency to either refer callers to the appropriate office, or didn't inform the appropriate office of all the calls it was getting on that legislation.

Well, Davis did manage to save the state a couple hundred grand when Chad and Cadee quit. :^)

What a vindictive SOB Davis is. We need to toss his ars into the dustbin of history.
To: Drango; Cinnamon Girl
The specifics don't get around, but the mood and the vibe spreads rapidly. Davis will be toast by November.
To: ElkGroveDan; All
What do all these references to strawberries mean? Thanks!

(Strawberrys?)
It means that Elkgrove Dan is very clever.
What Capt. Quigg(sp?) was not - in "The Caine Mutiny".
