Repeat offender.

The Taxinator may be breathing a sigh of relief over “fixing” California’s budget problems.
But darker clouds loom.
Case in point:
California’s huge government pension fund is expected to report today a whopping annual loss of an estimated $56.8 billion, almost a quarter of its investment portfolio.
The loss at the California Public Employees’ Retirement System for the fiscal [...]

Look out, Oklahomans. Here come the California refugees:
Fleeing the Great Depression and a drought unprecedented in American history, a vast wave of Oklahomans and Texans dubbed “Okies” loaded everything they could onto crowded vehicles during the 1930s and headed west for California. Today, in huge numbers, their grandchildren are moving back…
…From 2004 through 2007, about [...]

Hey, Gov. Schwarzenegger.
If you are still trying to convince the rest of the country to bail out your bankrupt, union-corrupted, eco-radicalized, over-regulated, spendaholic, business-hostile, illegal alien-friendly sanctuary state, this is not going to help:
Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger says he’s “happy” illegal immigrants get state services and says they’re not to blame for California’s $24.3 billion budget [...]

“Administrative services” department head: $280,000+

California Treasurer Bill Lockyer on Wednesday formally requested federal help to backstop a wave of short-term borrowing the cash-strapped state will need to undertake this summer.
In a [...]

Well, how d’ya like that rebranded GOP now? The Taxinator, Calif. Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger, welcomed Barack Obama to southern California with open arms this afternoon — praising his courage and extolling the porkulus package.
Schwarzenegger has been busy taxing everything in sight in the once-Golden State, pouring fuel on the anti-Prop. 8 fire, and preparing to [...]

I’ll be back…for a bailout.

“Fresh new way.”

“They should be on it and on it until they get it done.”

Tastes awful, less filling.

“This could be an extraordinarily interesting experiment.”

Dissent is patriotic, for once!

Universal health care. Yeah, that sounds like a good idea.
With emphasis on serving illegal aliens, of course. Much more at my blog.

Been hearing rumblings all night about a controversial shake-up in Calif. Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger’s office. Here’s what Capitol Weekly is reporting:
Republican Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger has hired Susan Kennedy, a top aide to former Gov. Gray Davis, as his new chief of staff, Capitol sources in both major parties said. The chief of staff’s position is [...]
