Is this Arnold’s Final Solution? Kill all of us who aren’t as rich as he and Maria?
While gutting $656 million in funding (up from an earlier $489 million) — on top of previous cuts by the state legislature for programs on which Californians’ very lives depend — Arnold Schwarzenegger simultaneously approved the construction of a new Death Row housing unit at San Quentin. Cost: $356 million, with a predicted $39 million overrun.

But we’re not nearly as nice as Gray Davis. So, to all the poop-for-brains Californians who 1) voted to recall Davis, and 2) voted in Musclehead Steroid Boy: “Nyeah! Nyeah! Suckersss!”
It’s not easy be right so often, you know — so you have to get your yoks where you can find them, especially as your once-beloved Golden State is sinking into the Pacific, without the benefit of so much as a gigantic earthquake.

“Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger on June 12 announced the creation of the California Complete Count Committee to ensure a complete count for the 2010 Census. ‘Every Californian counts,’ Governor Schwarzenegger said. ‘The Census determines how the distribution of more than $300 billion in federal funds goes to local, state and tribal governments each year in California. We must reach out to all Californians across the state to make certain everyone is counted so that California gets its fair share of federal dollars and representation in congress.’”
Yeah, well, our Gropernator-in-Chief on the Left Behind Coast would be especially desperate to make sure every Californian is counted come 2010, especially since Obama delivered a big F.U. to California and decided to let us melt down completely — never mind that, with an “economy larger than Canada’s or Brazil’s,” California (like most other blue states) is pumping a buttload of money into the system to prop up red states leeching off the public teat.
I guess, unlike those fatcat bastards at AIG, Obama has decided California isn’t too big to fail.

Subject: BREAKING: AG Jerry Brown Supports Federal Lawsuit to Overturn Prop 8
Sender: Geoff Kors, Equality California
Date: Today 18:52

Dear Joyce
Tonight, California Attorney General Jerry Brown filed a brief in support of the federal lawsuit seeking to overturn Proposition 8 and restore marriage equality to California.
In stark contrast to President Obama’s Justice Department filing a brief defending the discriminatory Defense of Marriage Act, California’s Attorney General Jerry Brown today filed a brief in support of a federal challenge to Proposition 8. Equality California is extremely appreciative of the Attorney General’s continued leadership in opposition to Proposition 8 and in support of ending discrimination against lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender (LGBT) Californians.
Governor Schwarzenegger is expected to file his brief soon. We urge him to take the same principled stance and tell the Court that Prop. 8 violates the Constitution.
The time has come for all elected leaders to follow Jerry Brown’s example and stand up for equality for all Americans, regardless of sexual orientation or gender identity.
Equality California will continue our position of not endorsing or supporting any candidate for any level of public office who does not completely and unequivocally support total equality for our community.
In solidarity,
Geoff Kors
Executive Director
Equality California
