Boxer’s staffers…

Barbara Boxer is not one of the brightest brains in the Senate.  Her general incompetence apparently affects her staff, since it  takes two of them, with combined salaries of $149,7262222  a year, to hold up one sign which couldn’t weigh more than a couple of pounds.  Was the easel on strike,  or did they just feel disinclined to even pretend they have anything actually useful to do?

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.

Bad week for Boxer…

Sen.  Barbara Boxer was already having a bad week.    Jim Geraghty is  making it worse.

Conservative female candidates are just one reason why.

Kaus vs Boxer?

I read  this with devilish glee,  because while I disagree with Mickey Kaus on many issues,  I am a fan because he is a principled liberal,  not a progressive nightmare.    I read little else on Slate,  where he blogs,  since no one else on the site is as straightforward and well-informed,  or even half as honest.

If he does run against Boxer,  he will have her panties in a wedgie of stupendous proportions long before they ever debate.   And in a debate he will make mincemeat of her and her pretensions.   What fun we shall have!

RUN,  MICKEY,  RUN!!!
