Personally, for me one of the biggest issues is the uncontrolled government spending on unneccessary things, like a new football stadium, yet teachers are being laid off and school funding cut. The government is out of control and needs to be reined in.

The Marilyn Monroe analogy is great! How about Paris Hilton to make it more up to date? What football stadium are you referring to? I wish stingy LA would build a stadium so we could have the NFL that we have been waiting 10 years for.

I vote for Brazil. They could probably use a resident racist and bigot, dontcha think?

Naw. Paris Hilton might be messed up, but she comes nowhere near to being gorgeous, LOL!

Its that football stadium Arnie is having built. Trying to remember where it is but I can't at the moment

More and more teachers are having to pay for classroom supplies out of their own pockets to ensure that each student has the necessary materials to complete projects and lessons. I, for one, would not like it if I had to pay for items that my employer should be supplying. Mine has actually tried that a few times. I told him to get stuffed. He is a multi-millionaire who travels to Europe no less than three times a year for pleasure and to Cancun at least twice a year, while I have to fight just to have two days off a week instead of one.

Considering the vein of a previous post about "Paris Hilton" (Including picture), and the following article about the NEEDS of teachers... you are so right about increasing funding for teachers...

Nevermind layoffs, Milwaukee teachers union sues over male members' right to erection help

August 13, 2010 | 3:48 am



After his Florida vacation this weekend and before his next vacation in Massachusetts, President Obama will visit Wisc



onsin next week.





"There, the fight is not over whether healthcare is a right. It's a fight over whether a sustained male erection is a right.
No, really. The Milwaukee Teachers' Education Assn. has gone to court asking a judge to order the financially strapped school board to reinstate coverage for Viagra, Levitra, Cialis and other erectile dysfunction drugs in union members' healthcare plans. The union claims that excluding such coverage discriminates against the male gender. In clearly less important news, facing growing benefit costs and shrinking revenues, the board in June had to lay off about 400 classroom teachers, the first such cuts there in decades. At this time of stubborn national unemployment for millions, some silly people might question the wisdom of a labor union representing people with actual jobs launching legal action over a $20 pill to improve the functioning of a member of a member. "You've got to be kidding me," said state Rep. Jason Fields. The school board claims the famous little starter pills are recreational, not medically necessary, and would cost the city $787,000 a year. Offhand, that seems like a lot of educators' erections, but it's also enough money to employ 12 full-time teachers of either gender."

I had to leave in the "tall" building... It reaffirms how seriously California's issues are thought of...


Oh, I think I'll go "fiddle" down at the shore....

From the neck down. NEVER compare that bimbo with la Monroe. That is an order.

I presume Cyanna's talking about Santa Clara, not L.A.:

Although the Bay Area already has two football teams, albeit two LOUSY football teams.

Look up Billy, he is all over the internet with his hate and has been involved as a high ranking member with a number of white supremists groups. I had a real nightmare on my hands getting my daughter OUT of their influence, which involved me becoming "aquainted" with the two above mentioned men. All of the white supremist groups they were involved with, including National Alliance, were strongly involved with Islamic terrorists groups and also provided donations of money to them. The leader of Britains BNP was found to have personal connections to the terrorists who bombed trains in Italy and Spain. They work on the premise that "the enemy of my enemy is my friend."

Considering some of the stuff you wrote, I'd think you'd be right at home in the BNP. Glad I'm wrong.

What's happened here? What is that one underlying issue that is making most of us turn our backs on the once pristine state of California???

Why didn't you ask her why she was leaving and if she told you why, why don't you tell us what she said?

What makes you certain there is "one" underlying issue here?

Did you ask them why they were leaving? Perhaps they could've told you.
