Desperate governor turns to distortions
Wednesday, October 31st, 2012

Oct. 31, 2012 Steven Greenhut Gov. Jerry Brown has fiddled while Sacramento has burned, squandering his entire governorship on a pointless campaign to massively raise income taxes on the poor, middle class and wealthy Californians through the Prop. 30 sales and income tax hike. Now that the initiati...

Prop. 30 aftermath: Dan Walters channels CalWatchdog
Wednesday, October 31st, 2012

Oct. 31, 2012 By Chris Reed On Tuesday, CalWatchdog told readers that the idea the teachers unions would accept trigger cuts if Prop. 30 failed was ridiculous. "Does anyone really think the California Teachers Association and its less brash little bro, the California Federation of Teachers, a...

Wednesday, October 31st, 2012

Oct. 31, 2012 By John Seiler Back in the late 1970s, with a previous bogus energy "crisis" striking, and Democrats demanding that citizens make "sacrifices," philosopher Archie Bunker explained what was going in words that still resonate today.

Oct. 31, 2012 Katy Grimes: Beware the student zombies at CSU Sacramento and CSU Sonoma. The California Faculty Association is sponsoring a flash mob today at the colleges, "with staff and students in costume, dancing to Michael Jackson's 'Thriller,' with lyrics adapted to support Proposition ...

N.Y. Times continues tradition of inept California coverage
Tuesday, October 30th, 2012

Oct. 30, 2012 By Chris Reed The New York Times' history of poor coverage of California is extreme. It always blames Prop. 13 for the state's problems. It offers 8,000-word analyses of California's government dysfunction that never mention the power of unions. And now, in an analysis of the San...

Gov. Brown calls CBS reporter ‘thug’
Tuesday, October 30th, 2012

Oct. 30, 2012 Katy Grimes: UPDATE: Since I wrote about Gov. Jerry Brown's awkward confrontational moment with a Los Angeles reporter last week, I expected to see the story all over the news.

Oct. 30, 2012 Katy Grimes: The phony green jobs that I have been writing about for several years are just another inconvenient truth in this administration. The U.S. Labor Department's Inspector General just released a report on Friday revealing that President Obama's green jobs training ...

Gov. Brown goes back to school
Monday, October 29th, 2012

Oct. 29, 2012 Katy Grimes: Some say that Gov. Jerry Brown is getting schooled on Proposition 30. Others say he's rekindling his youth. Either way, Brown is spending a great deal of time on college campuses these days trying to influence the young malleable minds. But he's not doing the ...

Congressional race in San Diego takes macabre turn
Monday, October 29th, 2012

Oct. 29, 2012 By Chris Reed In the 52nd congressional district, San Diego's small-government conservatives don't have all too much to cheer for. Incumbent Brian Bilbray was part of the 1994 "Contract for America" class of House Republicans who betrayed supporters by turning into blithe big ...

Why Dan Lungren will lose his seat
Sunday, October 28th, 2012

Steven Greenhut: My congressman, U.S. Rep. Dan Lungren, R-Sacramento, is in a tight race to keep his seat, but I predict he is going to lose even amid a pro-Romney tide. His opponent is a kneejerk Democratic leftist named Ami Bera with no obvious redeemable qualities -- someone who will almost cert...
