Anything that will generate a laugh in the partisan-tarnished California Legislature is worth a try.

San Francisco Supervisor Says He’s More Concerned About Safety Of Inmates Than Police Or Firefighters
Posted in February 24th, 2010
San Francisco has some of the most dysfunctional politics in the country. Part of the reason may be its unusual political system. It is the only city in California that is also a county. Its Board of Supervisors operates as a city council. Elections operate with instant runoff voting. Somehow minority views have a disproportionate influence [...]

Is That $54 Million For The Wine Train Or Flood Control?

Napa Valley Wine Train.
The Napa Valley is a wine growing region on par with the best France has to offer. It is a short drive north of San Francisco and affluent.
That means Napa is filled with wine, liberals and rich people.
It also became a target for John McCain’s assault on pork from the Obama stimulus package.
