I am happy to see the Republican wave swamping liberals nationwide.  However, here in California it is only depression for conservatives.  Barbara Boxer won reelection, and Jerry Brown is back in as Governor Moonbeam.  The state will continue its downward spiral into insolvency, unemployment and high taxes.

Other downers are that Harry Reid and Barney Frank, two of the vilest members of the far left, also won reelection.  Needless to say, I won't be joining those who have left the state for Nevada.

I am going to bed and watch the election returns on Fox until I fall asleep.  Tomorrow I will think about my continuing future here in the Land of Fruits and Nuts.

It's hard to believe, but the last two years of waiting is almost at an end.  One week from today we go to the polls to express our electoral disgust at the way Obama and the Democrats have destroyed the economy.

The buzz is that California will be a hold out in this next Republican revolution -- they will proudly and stubbornly be wrong once again.  While Californians struggle with 22% unemployment, free soup kitchens and food banks, they will nevertheless vote for the party who made their poverty possible.  My disgust for the California electorate knows no bounds; they are firmly, solidly and reflexively leftist.

As soon as the mortgage company kicks us out of this house, I will have to move somewhere.  Maybe that somewhere should be somewhere else.  Texas, perhaps.  Suggestions are welcome.

Ah, the games you can play with polls.  The leftist Los Angeles Times released a poll yesterday showing Jerry Brown with a double-digit lead over Meg Whitman in the race for governor of California.  Other polls, however, released at the same time, show the race much closer than that.  Oversampling of Democrats or Republicans can give a biased poll result, one that does not represent the actual state of the electorate.  The LA Times poll oversampled latinos and obtained the desired skewed result, no doubt to encourage a larger Democrat turnout on November 2nd.

Donald Douglas has the story here.

Jerry Brown demonstrates the Tantric-Yoga position of the Kama Sutra, so popular among California voters.

In the last two weeks before the elections, Jerry Brown and Barbara Boxer are hammering their Republican opponents with attack ads.  It seems to be working:  Boxer is up by 2 to 4 points over Carly Fiorina and Brown is up by 5 to 7 points over Meg Whitman.  Those who want continued economic stagnation for the Golden State will have their wish.  We will continue to have high taxes and anti-business politics in California, with the result that both employers and taxpayers will continue fleeing the state.

The only slim hope is that the Californians who support the old socialist retreads will stay home on November 2nd.

How could most Californians support politicians and policies that have turned the state into an economic basket case?  You have to understand the California mindset.  Being fashionable, trendy and au courant is far more important to Californians than whether they have jobs.   Voting is not only a democratic act, it is also a fashion statement.  Political ignorance is considered political brilliance.  And when most Californians shove their heads straight up their asses, this is considered a tantric yoga position and a key element of the kama sutra.

To the uninitiated, this difficult meditative position appears to be the machinations of the politically insane.  To enlightened, tantric-sensitive, kama sutra practitioners (also known as "Californians"), this key yoga position is a sign of great enlightenment.  Most Californians assume this position just before making important political decisions.  Millions are expected to assume the position just before entering the voting booths on November 2nd.  Then after they have voted Jerry Brown, Barbara Boxer and Nancy Pelosi to new terms in office, the voters will assume a different tantric yoga position:  down on all fours.

Jerry Brown:  Old Socialist Retread

Occasionally I hear friends or band mates mumbling about how they will move out of the state if Meg Whitman is elected governor. I have to wonder what on earth they are thinking.  Are they against jobs and prosperity?  What do they think creates prosperity?

In all probability, they won't have to move out of the state.  Brown will be elected in this uber-blue state.  It will be I who will have to leave the state, following the outward flood of businesses and citizens out of Moonbat Heaven.

Those outbound businesses are leaving for good reason.  California is hostile and punishing to business.  Business is what gives people jobs and creates products and services that make our lives easier, and creates tax revenues in the process.  That's something our bankrupt state needs to keep paying the bloated benefits of our militant unionized state workers.  Californians, however, have a long history of shooting themselves in the foot.  They will vote for the opposite of what California needs.  So what are the choices for governor in November?

On the one hand, we have Moonbat Brown, who has never created a job or met a payroll in his life, whose legislative career has been about suing businesses and increasing taxes, organizing farm workers and Vietnam war protests.   Brown is one of those insular leftists who hasn't a clue as to how the economy works. He doesn't understand economic theory, let alone its actual practice. He is a living, breathing symbol of everything that is wrong with the politically neurotic state of California:  all show, posing and posturing without substance.

Will Meg Whitman be better?  She has some hopeful signs.  She has not only met a payroll, she took EBay from a 30 employee company to one with 15,000 employees.  She has a real-world, working knowledge of building wealth and creating jobs.  Her knowledge of economics is based on actual practice as well as theory.

I suspect she has an insight or two about how to make California friendlier to business and staunch the outbound stampede of employers and jobs.  Jerry Brown doesn't have those insights.  He has only his far left inclinations, marinated into his bones by a lifelong immersion into radical politics and hippy culture, with its peace symbols and clouds of pot smoke.  He sees business as something that the public must be protected against, and he will protect us: from jobs, prosperity and solvency.

The question is, will Californians finally end their protracted adolescence and finally grow up?  Don't hold your breath.
