The incoming GOP-led House of Representatives has an ideal target to show it’s concerned about the economy: cutting back the Obama administration’s massive and unprofitable taxpayer subsidies of “green energy.” The Solyndra debacle is an excellent case in point.

Pull Those Political Weeds
I’ll say it right up front. I dislike political signs. I consider them litter. When I see them sprouting up like so many weeds in my neighborhood in the weeks before an election is held, I cringe. If I could restrict them to being in people’s yards or the windows of homes or businesses, I’d be a happy camper. Someday, …
Great Election News from Oceanside!
Despite the statewide election disappointments (Brown AND Boxer?) there was some really good news in San Diego County.

If you have not heard about …
Allow Me To Supply An Answer

SDUT: Dewey Defeats Truman
I’m wrestling with a problem. I like the Union-Tribune, I really do, I just wish it wasn’t completely worthless. Maybe (hopefully) it is just the “reorganization” that is tanking the quality of the reporting and it will recover, but thus far it’s proved this election cycle that the paper is approaching utter pointlessness. The UT was severely out investigated by …

The Top Ten Reasons why the Revolution Bypassed California
Many pundits are trying to explain what happened in California. After all, Republicans lost every state-wide race, picked up one Congressional seat and actually lost a seat in the State Assembly. Moreover, California voters elected dozens of hard left wackos and removed the 2/3 vote in the Legislature that had protected us from out of control budgets. Unfortunately, California will …

Tony Strickland for State Controller… His state senate Voting record reflects Integrity

Mitrovich: The citizens should have no say on higher taxes
San Diego “icon” George Mitrovich penned a column for the Daily Transcript today, Anti-tax zealotry and Proposition D, which starts with the most amazing of lines… Any state or municipality becomes dysfunctional when voters have veto power over taxes. He goes on to write… Anyone looking today at California government, a model of dysfunction, would find the challenge to prove …
Up in smoke? California’s quest to legalize pot
Get enough signatures to get Proposition 19 on the California ballot – check. Raise enough money to educate the voters – check. Convince dark blue Californians that legalizing marijuana is a good idea – not so easy. Proposition 19 is a ballot initiative that would effectively end prohibition of marijuana production, possession, and consumption. While the little green plant would …
