Lazer-like Focus
on all the wrong things
This man is running for Governor of the 7th 8th 9th largest economic entity in the world - the State of California. He is currently the Attorney General. [despite the fact that he was not eligible as he’d allowed his law license to expire. But, then, rules are for other people.]
So is he busy investigating the Air Resources Board who created regulations demanding new diesel engines in every piece of diesel equipment in the state [from trucks to heavy equipment to family farm equipment]? These regulations might be worthy of investigation since, on one hand, they’ve already cost countless millions of dollars of loss to small businesses and over 40,000 jobs lost in the LA basin alone and, on the other hand, they were based on a bogus research paper by some dork who bought his “degree” from some online huckster then lied on his resumé. Also worthy of some attention is the head of CARB who, when publicly presented with the facts behind her beloved diesel “research” study, allowed as to how she would commission a “re-study” of the situation: to be conducted by the same people who overlooked the flaws in the first place. Of course they’ll be paid again for their “work.” 40,000 jobless drivers and heavy equipment workers were unavailable for comment.
No? No investigation? So maybe our experienced AG is investigating the common state practice of honoring the “Furlough Friday”—while asking their cubicle hamsters employees to come in and complete the work on Saturdays, at time-and-a-half.
No? Not interested?
So what is our worthy AG interested in?
Jerry Brown… announced last night that he has launched a “broad investigation” to find out how much a California State University foundation intends to pay Sarah Palin when the ex-Alaska governor and 2008 GOP vice presidential candidate speaks at a campus benefit in June.
...Brown insisted his investigation has nothing to do with politics. “This is not about Sarah Palin,” he said. Rather, he said, he’s concerned about maintaining “prudent fiscal management” of the state university foundation’s funds. “We are taking this action to make sure that the money raised goes toward the intended educational purposes,” Brown said.
Well isn’t that just the last straw?
Jerry Brown - he wasn’t even relevant then.
NB: Cal State Stanislaus is firmly in the red heartland of California’s agricultural Central Valley; about 15 miles from Modesto [unemployment about 40% tks smelt!, and about 80 miles from Fresno, described by VDH the other day.
When he got to be governor, he was the youngest up till then (age 35). If (God forbid) he gets in again, he’ll be the oldest (77).
It’s small wonder we called him “Gov. Moonbeam” at the time.
I heard a complaint from the Left that they’re concerned about his chances because most of their voters are too young to remember him from his heydays. I don’t know whether this is something to worry about or laugh over.
