Governator says we should "…not get stuck just on fiscal responsibility.” [...more]

What is this the great Governator says we should “…not get stuck just on fiscal responsibility.” Was this the same guy who we put in office because Gray Davis was not ahh err fiscally responsible?

The state of California is basically bankrupt and all the Governor can do is suggest raising taxes and cut school spending. As if there is no place in the $144.4 billion state budget that can be cut without affecting essential services. Did you know we spend over $2.7 million per year to have an Office of the Lieutenant Governor?

The electorate in California is not blameless here either. Just this last election on November 4^th we Californians opted to borrow via bond issues over $23 billion. At some point this has to stop the state can’t keep borrowing and spending like this. If we don’t get stuck on fiscal responsibility soon we are going to be stuck in bankruptcy.

The Bush economy has now forced the Washington Post to outsource it’s proofreading jobs to automated spell checking systems. Can other print media be far behind? With more and more thinking people finding their news from other than traditional print sources the Post has evidently seen the need to implement cost saving measures and do away with proofreaders. In a recent WashingPost.com blog, Andrew Cohen states, “It is not yet known where venue for the case ultimately will be placed…” It looks like the bit twiddlers in Redmond need to do a little more programming on their spell checker to improve the grammar side of the equation.
