Once upon a time, in the late 1970’s, environmentalists, especially those in California, in order to save the forests from logging, got us to stop using paper bags in favor of plastic ones at the grocery store. How times have changed. Now they’re pushing legislation through that would ban plastic bags in favor of… Yep, […]
Parents go to jail if their kids miss too much school. Can we please vote these people out of office…. Forever.

Yes, you read that right… 12775%. A California initiative proposing a 12775% hike in alcohol tax. These people just don’t get it, do they. Good luck getting the signatures for that…. Although, come to think of it, this IS California; they will probably get enough to make it on the ballot.
This really pisses me off, yet, why am I not surprised. A few weeks ago California Senator Dianne Feinstein had promised to place a rider in the jobs bill that would guarantee a 40 % allotment of water deliveries to the San Joaquin valley farmers from the Sacramento Delta.
