School budget cuts
Here is why education budget cuts, and teacher unions, are a lose-lose for everyone involved. Because of a budget deficit, the crooks at the capitol decides to slash school funding At schools, teachers are laid off, and programs are cut — beginning with non-essential classes like Music and PE. Now the PE and Music teachers [...]
Why you should support health care reform
Ever since Sunday’s historic vote on health care reform, I’ve found myself in a few debate over the bill. Surprisingly I’ve found more opposition to the bill from my social circle than I expected. Here is a breakdown of the reasons people were opposed: 1) They don’t want to pay more taxes for someone else [...]
California Gubernatorial Race
I am writing this post to tell anyone who has ever made fun of, or look down on me for having too much debt: Ha! Jokes you on you, you idiot. You know why? Because all of the new Governors of California agrees with me that the best way to get out of debt is [...]
Questioning the Military
I am not sure why I was watching the local news channel, but I caught a segment of this story. It’s about Navy Seals who are in trouble for allegedly punching a “terrorist” in the stomach. Anyways. They polled Sacramentans and the newscaster guessed that something like 90% of people were upset that the courts are [...]
Meg Whitman is crazy
In all honestly, I do not know enough about this woman to say she is crazy. But I just saw 6 of her commercials attacking Steve Poizner, in 30 minutes of “My name is Earl”. That is a crap load of commercials, and a crap load of money she’s got there. Not only that, the messages [...]
Dear President Obama
I am happy that you got elected. It’s nice to see an intelligent person in control, rather than a team of retards. Although, I must say, I am rather not fond of your long winded speeches. Many people are impressed by your oratory skills, I’d prefer it if you cut the crap and get to [...]
LinkedIn for Criminals
I heard some statistics on NPR today regarding California prisons and it reminded me of the ridiculousness of our justice system. While many hard working people struggle to pay rent, the state is spending half a million dollars per convict to build more prison cells. Although I am astonished by the irony of this situation, [...]
Idiocracy becomes a reality
Last night I watched Idiocracy for the first time. The movie itself wasn’t all that funny, and it was pretty boring at some points. However, the movie touch on one subject that resembles our current state of the economy. In the movie, the main character is tasked with figuring out why the crops are not [...]
Transparencies in the government
I am not a very smart guy. So it freaks me out when I hear smart people tell me that there isn’t enough transparency in our government. Specifically, there have been a lot of complaints about the lack of transparencies in how the bailout money will be spent. It’s like taking your car to a [...]
No on Hate
So I followed up with what I said the other day and went to volunteer for the No on 8 campaign. Sad to say, I was disappointed at how unorganized the Sacramento area seems to be. I didn’t feel like there was any real effort to enroll or maintain curious/shy volunteers like myself. Also, the [...]
