- So what’s with Meg Whitman and the commercial with the “Val-speak”? In her commercial Meg says, “I think we can do-ut” Really? Another Republican with poor diction? Lord save Caleeeeefornia.
- So who is still in at the World Cup? So far our news agencies seem to be ignoring the fact that we advanced. Predictable, but morbid curiosity forces me to ask the question, do we have a chance at being respectable in soccer?
- I hear we are in an economic recovery. Not seeing it yet, are you? If you are, please comment and tell the rest of us where to get in on the good times.
- Placerville Brewfest coming this Saturday so be prepared for a video this year, not just a series of stills, it’s going to be great as usual, and I am technically ready to do a thoroughly amatuer job as videographer to the Bell Tower Brew Fest. If you’re in the area, I highly recommend it. (PS-Rubcon IPA is superior and you should look for them)
- The “University Foundation” at California State University, Stanislaus is refusing to say what they are paying Sarah Palin to talk (I wonder what I could get paid to talk? - Maybe a coupon for a burger and a Big Gulp). Why would they balk at disclosure when it’s going to be in their IRS Form 990 anyway? Disclosure is coming whether they like it or not.
- Our California legislature is only a week from the annual (annually missed) deadline for establishing a budget. We don’t even hear anything in the news about it yet because they are such a pathetic bunch of losers that they can’t get it done annually so it’s not even an item until state contractors stop getting paid. This year the Governor is threatening to pay state workers the federal minimum wage if the legislature doesn’t get its act together and pass a budget. Now that’s funny. Arnold has decided in his last four months that he should get “tough” on the issue he was voted in to remedy. Politics is such a sorry farce paid for with public money (y’all do remember that you’re paying these idiots for this BS right?).
- Speaking of paying for BS. I was recently in a restaurant with friends in Sacramento. Outside, a HUGE black SUV pulls up, multiple antenni, smoked glass, the whole nine yards like President Barack Obama was arriving, even a CHP car across the street. Who is it? Kevin Johnson, the Mayor of Sacramento and former basketball player. Whewee, let me put down my chips and salsa for a second, BMOC has arrived! (big man on campus – for you youngsters). Who in the heck does he think he is with his bodygaurds and big SUV’s and state police entourage? And he wonders why nobody trusts his intent on his strong mayor initiative if this is how he’s acting as a “weak” mayor? Get a clue Kevin Johnson, the Governor you ain’t, the Senator, you ain’t, the mayor of Chicago, you ain’t. You’re mayor of “Cow Town” with a minor league baseball team (in the next county, so you can’t really claim them) and a second rate (at best, but beloved) NBA basketball team and a beautiful midtown. Be thankful for what you’ve got and quit trying to act like you’ve made it. Quit acting like you should be trusted because you’re an ex-NBA player, and I would emphasize the concept of the public in the word “player”. It would seem to me to be a lot more genuine if you were asking for strong mayor powers for the position at the end of your tenure, rather than at the beginning when you don’t even understand the position fully yet.
- So what’s next with the oil spill? Who’s the Dutch boy who can put their finger in the well? Maybe Steve Jobs can figure it out.
- I tell you, I don’t understand this iPhone stuff. The local news station KCRA must be OWNED by Apple because the whole time I was watching it while getting ready for work they were talking about the iPhone 4 release or two or whatever. WHO CARES? and I repeat, WHO CARES? They had some woman in the studio for a longggggg interview and they had people in the mall video taping all the morons who lined up and midnight to pay 2X the price it will go for in a month. And, I am ashamed at myself for paying for basic cable to watch this ridiculous excuse for news (read-Apple Commercial).
- OK, enough for tonight! Be well all you cranky people.

MEG W.
IN ADDITION TO POOR DICTION, APPARENTLY MEG ALSO HAS SUPER HUMAN POWERS.
IN ONE OF HER VIDEOS SHE CLAIMS THAT SHE AND SHE ALONE DAILY SEES THE THOUSANDS OF UNEMPLOYED, GIVEN THAT THE UNEMPLOYED NO LONGER STAND IN LONG LINES AT THE UNEMPLOYMENT OFFICE, CAN SOMEONE PLEASE EXPLAIN HOW DO SHE DO…UT?????.
AMUSED AND AMAZED
Maybe she goes to the Native American Casinos during the day.
I heard on the news that people are using their Cal Works debit cards to withdraw money at the Casinos.
