Chutzpah After already receiving a controversial $1.6 billion construction loan from U.S. taxpayers, the wealthy investors of a California solar power plant now want a $539 million federal grant to pay off their federal loan. “This is an attempt by very large cash generating companies that have billions on their balance sheet to get a federal bailout, i.e. a bailout from us – the taxpayer for their pet project,” said

“Anti-Gun Billionaires Buy New Gun Control”
Because who wouldn’t vote for an insistence that government stand between them and the sale and/or purchase of private property from another law abiding individual? On the plus side, though, all those criminals who stop their criminality momentarily to try to purchase a gun legally — and we know this is what criminals tend to do — will be thwarted in their efforts to have said gun. And may just

The axis of right-wing extremism
Letter sent to Harry Reid by the wacko birds, et al.: Senator Harry Reid Majority Leader S-221, The Capitol Washington, D.C. 20510 Dear Leader Reid: We write to express our alarm with President Obama’s announced intention to take unilateral executive action by the end of this year to lawlessly grant amnesty to immigrants who have entered the country illegally.

Some good news: my mother’s cancer isn’t in her bones, so the prognosis is a bit better. Maybe 3-6 months. So after her third round of chemo she’ll be released to a nursing home with a rehab facility, and my kids will be able to visit her. On the bad news side: My brother refused to send me the selling documents from the closing of the sale of my mother’s

California voters poised for a huge case of Karma [Darleen Click]
Just got home, glass of wine, shoes off and still pissed enough I could scream. Today was the first day of Prop 47 hell at work. As I ranted last night: AAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRRRAAAAAAARRRRREEEEEEEGGGGGGHHHHHHH!!! There is no curse I imagine vile enough to thrust on my fellow Californians who are voting a big huge “Please come commit crime in our state! We don’t mind! Here’s a fruit basket” Prop 47 looks to

Legal ease? Hardly
True to form, the real estate agent who sold my mother’s house wouldn’t release to me the closing / settlement statement. He told me to contact my brother. When I told him there was no reason to contact my brother — that he doesn’t have POA — he told me that it doesn’t matter because he had it at the time of the sale. So I faxed over the new

2 things [UPDATED]
First, vote. Even if this last time it means holding your noses. Reid must be removed. He’s suffering full-on dementia and he is handmaiden to a radical Marxist President. One exception is voting for Thad Cochran. Fuck him, and fuck all the establishment hacks who used Democrat votes and race-baiting to defeat the candidate the Republicans of Mississippi — not Mitch McConnell and Karl Rove — wanted. The truth is

People out west are higher than you know
This isn’t really a travelogue but I think you folks might want to know that people out west are super, super high. Just really, really high. Very high. At the gas stations, in the kitchens, at the campsites. Very high.
