The Governator tells it like it is to the California Legislature

New York Times --


Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger sent a nice little response to the California Legislature in a recent veto statement that pretty much expresses his feelings in a hidden message. A response that I think some of us feel about our local governor and legislature.




to view the message... take the first letter in each line.









In reality, is not known whether or not this is just a coincidence or done intentionally. however, wouldn't it be nice if Ted "tax-and-gouge-me" Kulongoski had enough fortitude to tell the Oregon Legislature during this economic crisis to also stop sending him unnecessary bills for consideration? Of course, that would also mean that sleepy Ted was also interested in putting Oregon back on track.

And speaking of governors...

It looks like we are starting to get a nice list of interesting candidates for governors for this upcoming election.

I mean, where do these guys come from?

Are these guys all just a plant to force us to reelect former governor John Kitzhaber?

In my opinion Kitzhaberis not as bad as Kulongoski... however, I still believed that we could do better. Hell, maybe I should run for governor? and why not... however, my platform would be a lot different. You know that mostly when somebody's running for an office they promise you everything that you want to hear and then do the opposite... so my platform would be, "I'm not going to do anything."
that'll scare them in Salem.

seriously, I have thought about running for the LCC Board of Directors, just if no other reason for payback for the wonderful education that I have received. See how Mary Spilde likes that one.

anyways, the governor's race should be an interesting one as we have to make the decision between two choices, name recognition or the lesser of two evils.

Of course, I could always hope things would be different this time.
