California is One Odd Place

The locational rents of the physical beauty and nice weather in northern CA have made their political leaders a little crazy. Okay, no, totally bat-sh*t crazy.

1. No water bottles. NO WATER BOTTLES. You can sell them, but you can't have them at public events. Why not ban outright? And of course that will happen soon. They want people to reuse containers. Well, at my house we reuse.... water bottles!

2. They actually think that they are crazy, themselves. That's nuts!

3. They have "POPOS." Yes, they do. Because they can. If you want to build, you have to agree to "host" a POPOS, voluntarily.

4. A lot of Dems in CA are not very impressive. But honestly I think they are more impressive than the Repubs. Check this: she won the primary, but insists on still campaigning against the guy she beat....IN THE PRIMARY. You might want to focus on your actual opponent in the upcoming election, what? Whitman does, however, promise "Una Nueva California." She is running against Jerry Brown. Yes, THAT Jerry Brown, "Governor Moonbeam." This is a very interesting race, because Whitman and Brown together don't add up to one real candidate. Is this really the best the state-sponsored parties can do?

CA is doomed. Let's let them have their own currency, and deal with their debt on their own by inflating and devaluing their currency. Then we'll check back in ten years, and see if they can rejoin the U.S.

I've said many times, the big earthquake could do a lot of good for California.

re: Whitman, I see only upside in continuing to bash/differentiate herself from Poizner. It's a move to the center that doesn't put off Dem voters. Meanwhile, it's not like Poizner's supporters are going to vote for Moonbeam.

Considering the debt owed by the state is a fraction of its yearly net loss in terms of tax revenue sent to/received from DC, I'm all for it. I just wonder how all those red states are going to make up for the loss of their meal ticket.
