According to Kevin Yamamura of the Bee It looks like Phil likes his role as the underdog. I think its a role he needs to get used to. Maybe some more tax and spend measures may help.

Is it any surprise that Rep. Mollohan (D W.VA,) has not been all over the press the way Tom Delays name was? As I have said in the past I'm not a big tv watcher, but I certainly heard all about the republicans that were in trouble day in and day out. I guess the stepping down of the leading Democrat on the Ethics Committee is not a big deal. More details at the Washington Post And lets not forget the troubles that surround Louisiana's Rep.William J. Jefferson is having.

Steve Westley was seen at the annual stories teller convention. However; it was unclear if he was telling the story of the fish that got away or the small size of a Phil Angelides tax increase.

At the third annual Richard Belzer look-a-like contest winner Phil (I need mo money) Angelides spelled out his plans for higher taxes to again save our schools. " I will raise taxes " Phil said. Other options like fiscal responsibility just would not fit into the California Teachers Association play book. Phil will next start flirting with the SEIU and the Californias Nurses Association. I'm sure he'll start raising taxes to help their special interest too.

In Daniel Weintraub's webblog "All The Way To Reno" He writes about Apple computer creating a Nevada subsidy to manage its cash flow diverting tax money out of California. It comes as no surprise to me. What is a surprise is that more companies don't do the same. In Steve Forbes Principles of Prosperity, Principle 3 states "The third principle of economic prosperity is low taxes. Taxes are not just a means of raising revenue for the government. They are also a price. Income taxes are a price paid for working; taxes on profits are the price paid for being successful in business; taxes on capital gains are the price paid for taking risks. In light of this, the importance of low taxes is easy to see: When you lower the price of good things - things like work, success and risk-taking-you tend to get more of them. Raise the price of these good things and you get less. In 2003, we lowered tax rates in the U.S. and the economy started to grow again. As we've seen time and again, tax cuts do not mean a loss of tax revenue. By increasing incentives, the government comes out ahead. Washington's revenues in the last fiscal year were up 15 percent a $100 billion above expectations. Washington's problem is not revenue, but spending." Maybe its time we try this in California.

After the immigration bill stalled. The authors of the bill held a press conference on who to blame. Of course as I said in a previous post both sides saw a lot of voters, and nothing would get done. At the press conference Ted Kennedy said "I was going to read my late brothers book A Nation of Immigrants but I chose something about me." So if you read my March 26th post I was spot on.

The SacBee ran a story today regarding AB2987 This is a bill put together by Fabian Nunez. This bill would allow telephone companies to compete directly against cable firms by obtaining a state-issued franchise rather than negotiating separately with cities and counties. Not being on the cutting edge of technology or a big fan of TV I don't know if this is a good thing or not. But I had to do a Scobby Do when I read

Not happy with just beating on capitol police Rep. Cynthia Mckinney also likes to waste tax payer money. Action news 2 Atlanta reports Mckinney spent about $1000 to fly Issac Hayes to Georgia to dedicate a new office building. The money came from a fund that is supposed to be used for office supplies. In her defense she said she called Staples and asked for Hayes and they said "Issac Hayes we got that" Mckinney said that the whole thing was an error and they would pay back the money. We could really clear our court dockets if we would grant this excuse to all criminals that steal. Give back the stuff and get a get out of jail card.

After reading in the LA Times Hollywood has soured on her as a presidential candidate, Hillary went on a mad eating binge. The only thing that stopped the over eating was recurrent thoughts of Ted Kennedy in his swim suit. Political analyst turned actress Kathleen Turner (of Bauchman Tunner overdrive fame I think) had this to say of Hillary as a candidate "We don't want a celebrity woman president. We want someone who is really proven, someone with a really good foundation at that level, not just a star." Hang in there Hill baby maybe you can get Bill to turn those Hollywood types around. Well maybe not seeing how you to don't talk to each other. How about getting back to who you really are and get in touch with the left again.

The director of Basic instinct 2 Paul Verhoeven blamed the poor showing of his film on this administrations three censors pictured on the left. Its because of the current conservative movement that we cant sell crap anymore. Verhoeven known for other box office flops (Hollow Man and Show girls) Hey Paul its not that we conservatives don't enjoy a n exotic thriller its that you should have named the movie Basic In Stink. The rest of the story can be read at Reuters
