Joe Lieberman: Home Run
Tuesday, September 02, 2008 ::

Senator Joe Lieberman made an amazing presentation of facts tonight to support the Presidency of Senator John McCain.
It took a great deal of guts to do that. I respect that.
I got my McCain lawn sign today. It will go up later tonight or fist thing in the morning.

Esparto Tonight
Tuesday, September 02, 2008 ::
14 Comments
Tonight I spent a lovely two hours discussing the proposed re-entry facility in the theater at Esparto High School.
Saw Jim Nielsen, Yolo Cowboy, Charlie-san, Fire Chief, and a number of others there.
Supervisor Helen Thomson, Sheriff Ed Prieto, and I joined three people from CDCR on the stage to answer questions.
A couple observations ---
I have been to dozens and dozens of public meetings in my career. I've never been to one where a few people in the audience were as rude as they were tonight. They did not wait their turn to speak at all. These few people made everyone else look bad.
It seemed to be near unanimous opposition to the facility being sited in Esparto.
Some people, some that were community leaders, argued that traffic and water issues alone made them oppose the project. I expect to see those people oppose industrial zoning for Esparto in the General Plan this year. Will they be attending the meetings to voice their opposition to their proposals? I doubt it.
Again, A re-entry facility is a good thing for Yolo County. I am convinced of that. It will make our community safer and provide a more cost effective government.

Pull your head out

I just got a nasty gram from someone that accused me of being a recent McCain for President convert. Idiot. Yes. This person is an idiot. Read it here for everyone to see. You claim to read this blog regularly. nonsense.
The claim is that I just recently jumped on the McCain bandwagon because of the VP choice being a good conservative.
Pull your head out. I have been very public about my support for Senator McCain being our next President for more than a year now. I spoke at a fundraiser for him in Vacaville, wrote a personal check to his campaign, will have a sign in my yard shortly, and had one in the primary. The McCain bumper sticker on my car is nearly worn out. My business is involved in helping him on several fronts. What else can I possibly do?
If you look to the right column on this website you will see that I have listed my support for Senator McCain. It has been there for quite a while. I am not even sure how long.
I do think he is the best man for the job. I have thought so for more than a year. I think the guy is a national hero.
Agree with me. Disagree with me. I really don't care. But don't call me a newcomer to the McCain camp. I was here when it was pretty lonely. @#^#&%$#&$%^T%*#%

New Poll and Trivia
Monday, September 01, 2008 ::
0 Comments
Webmaster Bob will soon turn loose a new poll and set of trivia questions.
The poll is to get my feel on the race for the White House. Davies/Huber '12 has a nice ring to it.
The trivia is the doctorate degree question. I think some people will end up missing a couple of those.
The Diamondmaker of course will miss several and then claim to have gotten them all right. Whatever.

The feeding frenzy against Palin and Biden has started. This is the part the prevents good people from seeking public office.
Palin somehow is getting "smeared" because she did not show enough during her pregnancy and now she has to come out with a release that her daughter is pregnant. The situation regarding her pregnancy was just wrong. The situation regarding her daughter was beyond that. It is not relevant what President Clinton's brother did, it is not relevant what Vice President Cheney's daughter does, it does not matter what Governor Palin's daughter does.
Millions of famlies in the United States have dealt with a teen pregnancy. It is often unwelcome news but still the world spins.
Now Senator Biden is being criticized for being a draft dodger from more than 40 years ago. Here is the article. This is also wrong. Let it go. It would have been better for Biden top serve in the military but he didn't. Factor that all into the equation and make your decision.
We are talking about decisions people made when they are under twenty years old.
As a society we expect too much from young people. This includes college athletes, Olympians, and views of the part lives of elected officials. I actually think I would rather support someone that has made some mistakes earlier in life. You can learn from those.
I made some really stupid decisions at the age of 25 and under. They were some of the best learning experiences I have had.
Chill out and leave some of these people alone.

Reduce? Recycle? Why bother.

So I was looking around my house the other day for ways to simplify things.
One thing I noticed is that I subscribe to the Davis Enterprise at home. However, I read it on-line most of the time so I never actually open it when it arrives at my door.
That was an idea. I will tell the Enterprise that they did not need to waste the paper or the effort to get me the paper. Then I would not have to recycle it. They would save time and effort. Life would be great.
Wrong. Jenn called to tell them to stop delivering even though we would still pay the bill -- I want the on-line access to the news. They told us they could not do that because of the advertising rates were dependent upon it.
So much for being green.
So here is the offer to anyone in Woodland. Who wants a hard copy of the Davis Enterprise? I will have them deliver my subscription to you since I will never open it. Their advertisers will get another person to look at their stuff. I will have my wife stop giving me a hard time about unopened newspapers and life will be good.
Anyone?
