Now it's even getting colder in my house, with the furnace running all the time!

Must be that global warming stuff that Al Gore and Michael Moore warned us about. Sure wish it would hurry up an actually happen!

Just how are we doing that? California lawmakers seem to be doing just fine without our help by driving out all of the businesses with their absurdly high taxes and stupid rules.

Retiring? Congrats! But I predict you may end up doing what I did... escaping the nut house, and then discovering you miss it so much you end up moving back.

This is something I wish the Washington Post would report when they cover people who allegedly aren't getting enough public assistance. You'll see in the photos that people are watching a cable show but the Post reporter never asks how much they're paying for the cable while complaining that they don't have enough money. Recently they wrote some kind of sympathy story and the picture showed the woman with cigarettes and a nice cell phone.

I predict the wooly bear will have a very thick stripe next year and the winter will be mild. And if that &@#$#& wooly bear dares have a skinny stripe again I'm going to grab some spray paint, track down each and every one, and paint a wide stripe on it!

... and thus began the infamous Woolly Bear Painting Spree of 2010. A wacky spree that got out of hand, eventually leading to a law: "It shall be illegal to spray paint caterpillars in Fairfax County."

By the year 2050 nobody remembered this incident and historians puzzled over how such a loony law ever came to be....

The sound of crickets will be heard when the last liberal leaves town and turns off the lights as the conservatives come roaring to power. Half of the bureaucracy will be told to pack its bags. Traffic jams will be eliminated. The massive power line project, tabled (no need for clown car power). Taxes will be reduced as the conservatives demand less services. Drilling will begin offshore in Virginia as gas prices get reduced. Michiganders, Californians, Pennsylvanians, New Yorkers, etc., will return to their home states in pursuit of new jobs created thanks to the conservatives. The sounds of crickets will return in China as we rebuild our industrial might.

Wow, it's going to be awfully quiet on this forum if all the Michiganders, Californians, Pennsylvanians, and New Yorkers return to their home states...

I think he's referring to SAIC. But... SAIC is a San Diego company, not an L.A. company.

SAIC is a large company that for years and years has had a large presence in this area - as most defense companies do. It just shows a total misunderstanding about SAIC and the defense industry as a whole, if someone (not you) thinks all of the sudden they just popped up here. Where their headquarters are is irrelevant. Defense companies have headquarters in many different parts of the country, but that doesn't stop them from having huge numbers of jobs in this area.
