California…

truly  is the land of  very bad ideas.    It’s also the epicenter of bad practices,  both financial and  ethical.

Its  new Governor is the same old Moonbeam who adores hanging with dictators,  and he still doesn’t know what he’s doing.  It is still stuck with Senator call-me Senator Boxer.   This is a state which borrows $40  million a day  to pay unemployment claims.   Did California voters really believe Democrats  were going to remain in charge?   Do they now believe a Republican House is going to give them a bailout?   Sarah Palin is correct when she says that state’s Democrats live on a unicorn ranch.

Try this for a  brief glimpse of that beautiful state and where it went wrong,  and do check out the book review.

Do some time travel with  this 1906 film of San Fran’s Market  Street before the earthquake and fire which destroyed it all.

Now ponder why so many people think California is so sophisticated and trendy and should be copied.
