Gov.Jerry Brown hands a huge victory to organized labor when he signed several new bills Friday, Oct. 7. The worst part about this is the people of California which has a 12+ percent unemployment rate love him for it.
In a massive pay-back for bankrolling his election as Gov. and using organized labor's wish list the Gov. signed legislation Friday:
1. Restricting California ballot initiatives to November elections, when turnout is higher and more advantageous for Democrats.
2. Limit the use of automated checkout machines in grocery stores.
3. Firefighters union won restrictions on local governments that wanted to void union contracts.
4. Ensuring prevailing wages for union trash haulers.
5. Increasing fines for employers who violate labor laws and restrict the use of non-union contractors for certain state services.
6. California governor Jerry Brown has signed into law AB 1236, legislation that prevents cities and counties from enacting their own E-Verify laws
The plain truth is organized unions and Democrats own the governor and the state.

Calif. Gov. Jerry Brown approves contract for State Prison Guards that will cost millions to the state.
Even though the state is virtually bankrupt this is "Payback" to the California Correctional Peace Officers Assn., a union that spent almost 2 million dollars towards his election last year.
 Some of the perks are: Eight weeks of vacation per year for new employees, with additional time upon gaining seniority. Ability to cash out an unlimited amount of unused vacation time upon retirement, at their final pay scale.
This is a slap in the face of the taxpayers who are expected to save the state from bankruptcy and yet Gov. Brown is exempting the public unions in the state who have helped him get elected. This is totally disgraceful.

Climate Change.
The earth has gone through climate changes for millions of years before man made his appearance and continued after. How can we be so arrogant that we think we can stop what has gone on for eons. Perhaps if the cave men had breathed less and passed gas less the world would be in better shape.

"O for a Muse of Fire" and other stuff.

  • 1. President Obama signs executive order that releases federal funding for the killing of Human Embryos for scientific research.
  • 2. LIE OF THE DAY! "If you make under $250,000 you will not see your taxes increase by a single dime." --Barack Obama
  • 3. MINNESOTA MELTDOWN! How in the Hell can Al Franken get one vote let alone half the people in the state. Who will be next? Gomer Pyle. I bet he can't even fish!
