California is determined to give us the full bleak picture of totalitarianism, American-style. Anticipating proposed SEC regulations, Newsom’s California is set to impose nonsensical mandates for reporting greenhouse gas emissions and “climate-related financial risk” that target companies with annual revenue of $1 billion or more (according to the terms of…

This just in: According to the Los Angeles Times , there's no more back bench in the California Assembly. Apparently they've hauled it away to a garage sale. "New members do not sit meekly and keep quiet while they learn," says the Times . "Even rookies will rebel." Everybody remembers…

It's almost E-Day in California. February 5. Extension Day. â€E-Day†is clunky as monikers go. But that’s appropriate, seeing as how Proposition 93 is such a clunkily devious effort. Prop 93 would double maximum tenure of Assemblymen, increasing it from six years to twelve. And it would boost the tenure…

You might think that there’s nothing a government won’t try. You’d be right. But I was near stupified to learn that the state of California copyrights its laws. And it’s not alone. The state tries to control — through copyright — how you can access its laws, where and how…

There is more to an election than just the outcome. The process counts too. The dialogue between candidates and the voters. California voters did a lot more than say "Hasta La Vista" to one governor and "Hola!" to another. For one thing, there was plenty of poetic justice. Schwarzenegger, an…

There's a crisis facing California legislators and they are meeting it head on. Well, not exactly head on, but they're tackling it. Well, they're not quite tackling it, but they're scheming pretty hard to get around it. Think I'm talking about rolling blackouts that terrorize many who depend on electricity…

We won. They lost. I mean the February 5 defeat of Proposition 93 in California. Final tally: 46 percent Yes, 53 percent No. The end game of another huge effort by Golden State politicians, spending $17 million to trash term limits. Most California voters like term limits, like how they…

Golden State labor organizers want to be able to trespass on the property of companies to recruit new workers. But companies don’t want their operations periodically disrupted by trespassers. Typical kind of political disagreement. One party wants its rights to be respected; the other wants to violate those rights. That…
