Like he said, California has its own problems.
Although we do have a surplus right now. And the Governor is basically saying "hell no" to the spending increases the legislature is pushing and is putting another referendum this year which will mandate that surpluses go to pay down the debt or be put into a rainy day fund

What was I just talking about
Rob Ford?
A California concealed carry license holder can drink at a bar while wearing a concealed firearm. He'll lose his license forever, but since it's not against the law (it's just a rule set by the AG's office), that's the only punishment he can receive (granted, it's harsh enough that no licensee would tempt it).
My guess is that you also don't realize California is a stand your ground state, and that it's one of the very few states that allows concealed carry in schools and universities.
Silly. You turn bitcoins into guns, drugs and slaves.
Those, you turn into money.
So... kinda like Leland Yee?
I'm kinda surprised there isn't a thread dedicated to the insane shit he's gotten himself into, considering the (now extremely hypocritical) law he tried to pass against violent video games that was struck down at the Supreme Court that got most of our attention.
Ok, so I was wrong and California's gun laws suck?
Only if it will be used covertly to insinuate that Clay himself had something to do with it, and that's why you can't trust liberal politicians.
So... yes.

Personally, I'm voting for Pedro
Considering I had to read that two or three times to notice the trick... I would say that it's technically well-written. As in, someone is good at making you hear something totally different from what they're technically saying.

I'm not sure it actually matters. It initially reads as a "he said she said" - just making the exact opposite claim, so most people will just believe whichever side they already favor. The trick in it mostly just lets him cover his ass when someone pulls out the documents, but unless it's pointed out on the news with the documents being shown and such it probably won't have any effect on anything.

Ever notice how abusive people think their victim is the abuser?
lol
'...and the story about how he isn’t a racist is lost.'
EDIT: Holy shit.
...Free speech: Okay for Rush Limbaugh, not so much okay for gay people.
But it totally protects minorities and academic freedom, somehow. Totally.
He's having his wife's company plane fueled by taxpayer money.
You are hardly the average voter
Send him to Virginia, we can make him throw a hissy fit over having to drive our interstate speed limits to get out of the state.
Marvel as the whiny man gets pissy at the dreaded 60 mile and hour speed limit of I-95 North towards Richmond! Gasp as he makes a wrong turn and whimpers at only being permitted to go 65 on 288 as he heads for Charlottesville!
EDIT: in retrospect, I suppose heading for Charlottesville might not necessarily be a wrong turn if you're trying to get to Montana :P
That's if he doesn't get stuck in gridlock on I-95, it gets much slower then.
Speaking of Virginia, the GOP of the state is having quite the delightful little civil war in the various primaries. Can'tor's is on June 10th, I doubt he'll lose. That said, we might get a quite a bit of entertainment if the fight between the tea party and the establishment carries on past the primaries into the general. I'll have to see which districts besides the 7th, would have been great ones to field a candidate in for the dems, in such a scenario. I think it's a damn shame the dems didn't get someone on the ballot for the 7th and it might not be the only one. Sure still might not win, but if we're looking at the GOP having a split, it becomes much easier to snag some of these districts.
Sure a few measly lives would be saved, but millions will be late!
I hate it when God takes sides.
It's been a rough marriage on both sides.
But we have to stay together until Puerto Rico gets out of high school anyway.
Then there's being a "break into the facility where your opponent's wife, suffering from dementia, is being taken care of and video her to embarrass him" asshole.
And as Mr. Pierce reminds us, this is not an isolated incident.
Reprehensible isn't quite strong enough.

Mr. Pierce also rabidly defends a certain person who claims the solution for all our problems is for liberals to stay home and punish Democrats by not voting, and that threatening politicians with guns is totally awesome. He's fun for snark, but he's utterly hypocritical and can't seem to remember what the people he shills for and against actually stand for from one day to the next. He's fun to read, but nothing he writes should be taken seriously or as the truth.
I can only assume you're referring to Glenn Greenwald?
By defend you mean pointing out that Greenwald being a dick has no bearing on the issues raised by the whole Snowden...thing?
Cause that hardly seems like a "rabid defense".
Yeah, it's people reporting news they want to be true, rather than reporting what is actually true.
In fairness, it is better - if only slightly better - to have some immoral conservative ideologues in power rather than insane white supremacist lunatics.
I mean, imagine a Republican party full of nothing But Rand Paul clones. You'd have defaulted, and now be living through whatever the consequences of that default would've been. Boner & McConnell are awful people, but (if we assume the choice is one or the other) it's better to have them than to have, say, birther lunatics or Confederate militia.
