So it’s come to this…the Republicans have nothing to say about the serious issues facing America so they create baseless and useless conflicts in the media over lipstick!.  John McCain himself used the analogy with Hillary Clinton and no one raised a fuss.  I guess the old adage about there being “No bad media coverage” is being utilized to the fullest by McCain/Palin.

If John McCain is such a war hero, then why is he hiding behind the skirt of Palin?  It just goes to show that simply being a prisoner of war or a decorated veteran doesn’t make you fit to lead a country.  McCain/Palin offer nothing new for America.  John McCain wants to keep us on the Bush road to poverty and Sarah Palin wants us to go back to the stone ages of religion that treat women as chattel.   John McCain and Sarah Palin are the farthest thing from reformers.  It funny how the past 8 years McCain has been the dutiful Republican but now will denounce everything he stood and voted for during the Bush presidency…talk about a flip flopper!  He will say anything to get elected.

Say what you will about Monta, but I don’t think he’s worth the price. He’s not the guy to lead the Warriors deep into the playoffs (don’t even think about the Finals, it’s the West). He went from making $700K a year to $10 million a year…that’s a lot of coin to give someone for just scoring points. He’ll never be a point guard, will not be able to replace Baron’s leadership skills, doesn’t play defense and now hurts himself

What? Monta fall down!

out of season and lies about it. There were no other offers for Monta so the Warriors didn’t really know what his market value was, they basically just bid against themselves and wasted money. Monta could have been signed for $50 Million, which is still a bucket load of money for anyone, but especially someone that is not the leader of the team.

Recall? Wow… isn’t that how the gubernator got his job? Let me ponder this for a minute. It is an interesting thought. Well No! he has not gotten us a budget on time like every other governor in California, This is no surprise, so that doesn’t affect my radar, but come to think of it there are other situations that he has gotten away with on the backs of Californians that sets off my bells and whistles. For example; beep: He has essentially jacked the schools since he’s been in office. Beep Beep: The threat to cut the hourly rate of state employees while they legislature bickers over the budget. Beep, Beep Beep: Education and vocational school grant won’t be paid because of budget impasse. Beep Beep Beep Beep: Roads, streets, highways, bridges and levees are in disrepair, across the state while tolls are increasing. Beep…. energy and food cost are thru the roof in a state where we produce all these resources and lead the world in innovation, production and conservation. I can no longer hear you for all the beeping, so again I repeat. Recall??? Hmmm… No how about do you job!!! Deflate your peck’s, take a seat at the table(no the cigar tent) and get some state business done. Because let’s face it Arnold didn’t want to go to the GOP convention anyway…so work it out before you get terminated by your own devices. Check out the article

Collectively I think we can acknowledge that we are in an economic depressed period round these parts. I feel no need to go over all the surface situations facing us in the Town. I know we each of us have our own fiscal burdens, but I would like to talk about the fact that what was once an anomaly in reporting is now the hype of the night time news. When daily shooting, banks robberies, and now this “Strong arm robberies” theme as the lead off story for the news morning, noon and night I believe we are playing on a slippery slope. Since the broadcasting of the take over robberies in the area it is obvious to me that the drama surrounding these crimes seems to be drawing more players to the game. This accompanied by the fact that almost every story ends with no arrest and few leads. There is no wonder that the method is being copied all over the area. Don’t get it twisted I like to know what is going on in the Town, but all these press conferences with no solution is more of the same do nothing bull shit we have been dealing with for years. This approach has gotten us is one crew in Fremont (originals and inside job) and one crew in Oakland (one of the copycats), with God knows how many unsolved robberies on record. Look I am a taxpaying, land owning, Oaklandite and it is killing me that once we get back to business in the town the powers that be can’t help and protect us when we go to dinner, have coffee, get a pedicure etc… Really !. Does anyone up there see that these strong arm robberies are a result of desperation and hype. Let me cut to the chase can we get some freakin’ beat cops on the streets, who can know what is going on the in the neighborhoods Please! Please get out of the cruisers and get on the streets, be of the streets so that you can know what is going on in the streets, and maybe we can get some control of our streets.

Oh yeah and drop that whole asshole thing it doesn’t work with the uniform, when the uniform works for us.. ..feel me!
