BTW - Is Jimmy Buffett really running? I'd vote for him - I'm a closet parrot head. But only if he would promote changing the California State Song (if there is one - ?) to "I Used To Have Money One Time."
:D

A G N E W
kick away, if we could take it.... HAH! you can too Good luck (anyone else here remember being called a "nattering nabob of negativism" :eek: ) one of his finer moments for sure :rolleyes:
Does anyone know if you have to show proof you've read the issues, platforms, etc. before you vote :D ?
Sorry - couldn't resist - Hey, do you have to show proof you can read before you vote?
Or read English -
Stop it! My evil fingers are taking over my hands! Do we have any exorcists running, Richard?

people vote with their eyes,
special interest groups vote with their money!!
LB,
Thanks for the Spiro info.....
now, who would vote for a Spiro??
:confused:
i guess the same crew that voted for a shudder Nixon
At least Californians have better choices than we've had in some elections in Mass........Billy Bulger, Honey Fitz, Mikey Dutaxus (Dukakis).......Hey, maybe we can convince some of our Pols to go out there and run......
Just to be fair to the other side as well, how could I ever forget Jackie Robinson......who held a press conference to release his rap sheet before running so he could "come out" about his past before running. (the rap sheet was several pages long)

LOL,
i forgot....that was a clue in Jeopardy! the other night!!!
and what about Arhnold and his interview??
Did anyone read the actual interview? It's on the Smoking Gun website and it is unbelievable!!!:eek: :eek:
I can't imagine what would have happened if Arnold was running as a Democrat. :rolleyes:
Sorry to interject something serious here........but yesterday I received my auto registration renewal form. It sent me right through the roof - because it has gone through the roof.
When I bought the car - the license fee was $244. Last year it was $218. The new registration is $519.
A $301.00 increase over last year. Yeah, heck it is just money - pay it. I am waiting until the last minute to see if something is done about it.
There are going to be a lot of very angry people around as these bills start arriving.
It is classic, just classic. - oh, sorry, I have to get back to work so I can hopefully make an extra $300 to pay for this (and not eat for a while).
THAT is why i have no problem with a pot smoking, womanizing ex-body builder and actor running the state.Quote:

Gini,
would you like some Top Ramen recipes??;)
It gives a whole new meaning to Meals on Wheels............
I will be driving my dinner money.
Hmmm, Top Ramen - actually I like that stuff a lot.

Gini,
Not that this should make you feel any better.
The new fees that you are seeing
now, are not new, they are actually old reinstated fees that DMV used for their price scale a few yrs. back.
I will never understand why the fees were cut so
drastically low in the first place, and than our government
screams their is no money.
What ever happen to middle ground, where we could still
have reaped the benefits of lower License
fees. (One extreme to the other)
Now the reinstated fees will HURT a lot of people.

OH NO! :eek:
My head is spinning!
KYS, of course, you are right. It is just the yo-yo on costs that gets to me.
For example, I purchased gas on 7/26 - and it cost $1.59 a gallon.
Last weekend I purchased gas and it was $2.09 a gallon. Oh, I forgot - there was a pipeline break in Phoenix.......that's why. Hello?
Let's see - for dinner, we have top ramen and lime Kool-Aid thanks to Richard's excellent suggestions
:D :D
Maybe we should make our politicians enjoy this same cuisine----until they get their act(s) together.
I seem to be on a rant today.....we are talking about financing Afghanistan's need for an overhaul on their electrical problems.
But when we talk about the huge power failure in our own country - guess we can't afford that. Soon we will be using candle power only - and they will find a way to put an extra "use" tax on candles as well.
Sorry everyone.
I say Top ramen is to good for these politicians.
Umm! This is kind of fun to rant and rave, and candles
can be romantic.
Head is still spinning!!
P.S. I was skipping channels, (early afternoon) and I
paused at the Jerry Springer show.
Woman in the audience were pulling up their tops
and exposing them selves for a string of beads.
(I hope these are not our future politicians) :eek:

Or our future Judges! Well, Gini, I'm doing the math so I can figure out how much I'll need to save up when registration time comes around - Wasn't the American Revolution based on resistance to over-taxation - ? :eek:
