Gray Davis Recall

Excerpt from a Commentary on Fire

As I cringe at the base of our mountains, in an area on a hill and surrounded by chaparral and Republican voters, I hope that the winds remain calm as they were yesterday.

Gray Davis, Hero

I'm glad Gray's still around to do the right thing when things are at their worst this fall.

Last thoughts

I'd like to see gas stations posting not only the taxes added on, but the expected profit margins on their pumps.

A New Broom
With the recall election it looks like Democrats shot themselves in the foot once again. From where I sit (half...

Not A Total Loss
While, unfortunately, Californians chose to elect Conan, (about which I don't even know where to begin...) Proposition 54 failed. If...

Last Word on Recall: Terminate Arnold's Candidacy

Gray Davis ain't no prize, but he thinks for himself and he knows California.

The Lesson of 1889

In the late 1800s, Californians voted to bring in a government which drew its support from those who wanted to deny Chinese citizens the right to vote.

The Issue of Trust

Arnold's candidacy is thus undermining my faith in other people.

Ahnold set to Spin Mode

With Arnold, the name of the game is power. A governorship, on the other hand, is about serving the People.

A New Pledge by Ahnold
"If elected, I promise to go nowhere where I might meet a woman without Maria Shriver handcuffed to me. I...

If You Made a Fuss About Clinton's Penis....

"When Maria was around, he was a gentleman," one of the women told the Times. "When she wasn't around, he was the opposite."

The Banality of Arnold's Message

You will pay in more than taxes.

Letter from Ariana Huffington

It's time to Terminate Schwartzenegger's candidacy

An Alabama Recall

Riley, who is a devout Christian and a man of conscience, read a theological paper that discussed the Christian's obligation to the poor. His tax reform would have shifted the tax burden off the backs of the working poor and onto the backs of the wealthy.

Is Ahnold a Shoo-In?

If you vote for him, you give him license to be these things. It means that you are an accessory to his boorishness, his arrogance, and his stupidity

Vote against the recall, vote against vagueness

Arnold refused to take part in candidate debates. He has ducked hard questions. This suggests that he either has a secret plan that he knows the voters will detest if he told it to them or he has no plan at all. Both are sound reasons to vote no on the recall, vote against this opportunist.

The Dream Act

Republican Senator Orrin Hatch is a major co-sponsor in the Senate.

Visualizing the Recall

Very Popular with Himself
The top spender in the recall so far is Arnold Schwartzenegger ($6,333,351). His largest contributor is himself at $4,050,000. To...

Behind the Recall
Gray Davis angered California voters, in part, because he did favors for special interests who gave large donations to his...

Carpetbaggers Nearly All

This California Native isn't going to be hoodwinked. I'm voting for my own in the recall. The rest of them can just go back where they came from. Let a Californian govern California.

More on the MECHA Smear

I thought I'd follow up on my MECHA views with a links to thoughtful blogs on the subject.

News of The Other Recall

... the recall in Japan had it's own version of the butterfly ballot.

The MECHA Smear

The Right -- led by censorship king Bill O'Reilly -- has been flooding the airwaves with the accusation that Cruz Bustamonte and MECHA implicitly endorse the violent takeover and reannexation of the Southwest by Mexico. Note that second word: reannexation. The land we're on was Mexico's to begin with.

The Emperor Needs Your Vote

We ask you to show California and the World that Emperor Norton is the One True Ruler of the State of California. (California residency not required to vote.)

What if they gave an election and nobody came?

Voters would arrive at polling place doors and find themselves unable to exercise their franchise.

Hell, Give Me A Chance

First thing I will do is instruct the state attorney general to investigate Dick Cheney and Enron. Supoenas are being typed up even as I write this.

Gubenatorial Endorsement and Call for Votes

We do hereby command the Leaders of the Hebrew, Muslim, Hindu, New Age, Wiccan, Zoroastrian, Buddhist, Animist, Unitarian, Quaker, Humanist, Atheist, Mormon, Sikh, Moonie, Fundamentalist, Catholic and Protestant Churches to sanctify and have us crowned Emperor of the United States, Protector of Mexico and Governor of California. - Norton I

The Other Recall

We're not the only place in the world having a recall.

Giving Arnold a Chance

Arnold has been weighed in the balance and found wanting. He is NOT the best qualified candidate.

The Great Ape Molester

If Arnold becomes governor, expect the State of California to be wrapped up in sexual harassment lawsuits due to his behavior for years to come.

Arnold's Charity 2

So, Arnold, where's the renunciation of your films? Where are your demands to suppress your oeuvre of violence? Why did you make a Terminator 3 if you are a "peace-loving guy"?

California, I Love You

Many mock the state of my birth and yet they keep trying to own it. If they don't like the way we think and the way we do things out here, why not just leave us alone?

Arnold's Charity

What impresses me is Arnold's dedication to promoting his own name as an actor and as a gubenatorial candidate.

Excuse me, Arnold....

The Real Problem in California

Sacramento politics is at an impass because the legislature is populated by men and women who don't fear the electorate.

The Circus Begins

Bill Prady (television writer): "As a person who makes a living off of making mockery, I resent them intruding into my world."

Darrell Issa's Lies and Gouges

Gray Davis hasn't been that exciting of a governor, but whether or not you like him, if it is the deficit that worries you, know that the recall election mounted by car thief Darrell Issa is going to cost you up to $66 million.

Get Ready....

Issa better hope he lives in a safe district because this will be the political emasculation of him once the Democrats are through with him.

Darrell Issa's Criminal Past

"I confronted Issa . . . . I got in his face and threatened to kill him, and magically my car reappeared the next day."
