Good luck. That left coast is a stronghold. Just stay idealistic and principled. That's my simple advice

Here's a thought. Global warming is caused by CO2, so say the Gorebots. When we exhale we emit CO2. Since about half of us are libtard looney's wouldn't it help the cause if they just stopped breathing? If we extrapolate the 50% libtard bent to cover all mankind that's a hell of a lot of less CO2...

re: #42 solomonpanting

Given the current economy, look for all local and state agencies to raise taxes and fees as well as coming up with new schemes to collect money.

Its all bullshit

New taxes, cuts in budget plan

The plan will come with a host of revenue raisers — increased taxes on hospitals and insurance policies, for instance — and at least one new assessment, a so-called obesity tax on non-diet soda to raise $404 million. The governor also is contemplating requiring new license plates to raise cash, reviving sales tax on clothing purchases, removing the tax cap on gasoline and threatening to require Indian retailers to collect taxes on sales to non-Indians by signing into law a bill passed earlier this year by the Legislature.

The soda idea got support since it "was for the kids" but its based on faulty logic and feelygoodyness and its just a cash grab. Same with the requirement for new license plates. No need for it, they just need the money. Higher taxes on gas and a sales tax on clothes? That'll sure stimulate the economy. As for the Indian sales tax, it their land and they'll tie it up in courts, wasting even more tax payer dollars.

Fucking idiots.

re: #66 simonml

Indeed. For every new conservative voter their is at least three new liberal voters here on the Left Coast.

Anyone watch ESPN? During the opening of the Around the Horn show, someone threw a shoe at Woody Paige's head.

NY passed a sales tax on all non-diet sodas, claiming they were doing it to fight childhood obesity, and that it would generate $400 million in revenue.

Now think about that. If a sales tax meant people would stop buying it in favor of diet sodas and thereby helping the kids, they wouldn't see a dimes worth of revenue. Meanwhile, people who aren't obese and dont even have kids would be forced to pay the same tax for an issue that has no bearing on them. They are betting on people saying "Well, its for the kids", bending over and buying the same stuff as always and them making a bundle off it.

You know, this is what pisses me off though. I do obey the road rules to the "t." And no, I am not some wussie, I can handle a vehicle better than most average drivers.

But I get treated like I am some criminal. I have people on 4 lane highways, while I am doing the speed limit in the very right hand lane, get behind me, blink lights, as if they want me to drive on the shoulder.

And I think if I was on the shoulder, someone would find some reason to bother me there.

Why am I so careful? Because over the years I have seen the abilities and the quality of the drivers behind the wheel decrease to a level that has become downright dangerous.

I know what the fuck I am doing on the road, and there is no way I am going to give any mindless idiot the chance to interrupt my health by slamming me on the road.

I think every driver should be allowed to have ONE personal missile issued to them every year with there tag renewals.

I think it should be LEGAL to actually KILL, take out, another vehicle if you think they are driving dangerously.

Yep, a few years of a little self-monitoring and that will up the level of smart drivers on the road. Heh.

You Are Not Stupid

You got 10/10 questions right!
While acing this quiz doesn't prove you're a genius, you're at least pretty darn smart.

The developer of the quiz is an idiot, though:

1. If a triangle has two short sides that are each three and four inches in length, how long is the longest side?
5 inches
6 inches
7 inches
12 inches

It could be either 5 inches, 6 inches, or just about anything short of 7 inches (at which point the 3 inch side and the 4 inch side would just form a line).

However, if the triangle in question were specified to be a right triangle, then it would definitely be 5 inches.

We had a vote on a half-penny sales tax increase.

I just knew with a faith in humanity that NO tax would ever pass if we're allowed to vote on it.

I was wrong.

Especially disheartening given the transparently manipulative ad campaign for it. They basically promised paradise: clean streets, no crime, and schools that graduated all our children as Einsteins, all for one measly little half penny. Which raised the blaring screaming question, why couldn't you do any of that with the other 12 half-pennies you already get per dollar?
