What??? Occupy Portland: Protesters Sing F*ck the USA???
I see them using electric guitars, which are either being powered by generators that are run by fuel from big oil, or power from Portland Electric. I doubt they would have enough solar panels to run their equipment. They would have more credence if they were using non-electric acoustic guitars. Probably more credence if they were all wearing clothing which …
SURPRISE! Media Cheer Wall Street Occupiers But Jeered Tea Partiers
For us limited government advocates, there’s nothing surprising in the story’s revelations below. But it’s nice to have the facts actually quantified, with the blatant liberal MSM bias documented.

Jerry Brown’s Use of the Veto: More Bark than Bite
OCTOBER 14, 2011 6:18PM Jerry Brown’s Use of the Veto: More Bark than Bite Well, I must say. I AM disappointed. I expected more out of Jerry Brown.

163 Suicide jumper makes demands on Dumanis

It may or may not be political news, but it very well could be a sad statement on society that …
Occupy Boston protesters spit on Coast Guard member. Should we use the same logic that the media use with the Tea Party?
http://www.myfoxboston.com/dpp/news/local/occupy-boston-protesters-spit-on-coast-guard-member-20111013 If I used the same logic many in the media and Democratic leadership have used about the Tea Party (based upon comments made by by a very small minority of Tea Party “members”), that means all members of the OCCUPY-whatever are very disrespectful towards members of the military. Using a very, very small sampling to then label all in …

Poway Councilmember Grosch starts term limits effort
From Poway Councilmember Dave Grosch… Dear Poway voters, One of the first things I did when I was elected last year was to propose term limits for Poway City Council Members.

From the San Diego Union-Tribune: Twitter accounts of county GOP, chairman yanked A good (old fashioned?) cyber-spat between San Diego County’s Republican and Democratic parties has broken out on — where else? — Twitter.

California and San Diego Ignore the Right to Bear Arms and Personal Protection
