| #3 And furthermore, if Jerry Brown indicates in any way at all that he wants to change or repeal Proposition 13 I will fully commit myself along with millions of other Californians to recall his silly ass. |

| #2 I remember when California's debt problems first came to light. Then Governor Gray Davis said one of the reasons for the budget deficit was that they did not anticipate the bursting of the dot com bubble. I figured right then and there that they guy is either felony stupid or crooked or both. Anybody who knew anything about the dot com bubble could have seen that is was nothing but a fraud from the get go. None of those companies was making any money. If Condoleeezza Rice had any brains or integrity she would run, not walk, away from this group of economic pinheads as fast as her little legs could carry her. |
