A single monderator, changing month/season to season, can immediately interrupt with "bullshit/doubtful",,,"you lose the mic". One subject, and stray, means "you lose the mic" !!
Let's see if we can't inspire honest open thorough hard-hitting public debate again in America, just like Lincoln vs xxxxx stump speeches of old !!
No more 'no' votes based only on opposition. If you can't support your position publicly, you become the WEEKLY LAUGHING STOCK.
5th generation Californian blows off steam and comments on the last 50 year decline in quality of life, etc. in home state of California. Some good news hopefully.

Sept.2010, Why can't President Obama control the runaway spending of the Pentagon?
It has been almost 2 full years, long enough for President Obama to learn the ropes/doors of his new job. So is it lack of will,,,or is this new President unable to make changes to the big bloated incompetent bureaucracy that is the Federal Government?
The new "Department of Education",all hail, can not keep the California administrators of Public Education, principals and superintendents, from 'golden handshake' and 'golden parachute' ,plus bloated salary, STEALING from the still failing, near bottom, public system. And the repudiated "no child left behind" of Pres. Bush jr. ,,,is still ,,,THE RULE,,, 'IN EFFECT' !?
The NPS still acts the same silly, stupid, anti-visitor, pro-Republican Party way,,,in taking $300 from a 'mass transit' bus/charter bus at the gates of Yosemite, even with just one passenger is on it. Or letting the major business, the 'park concessionaire', set the park policy of the level of guest services ,,,instead of the National Park Service,,,such as only one 2-hour Valley Tour tram per hour, instead of the two vehicles that the public ask for.
Or Muir Woods National Monument, where a meadow is used for overflow parking,besides the two small paved lots and all the unimproved road edges for half a mile,,,but a large parking garage there and eco-bus service has been needed for ,,,DECADES!!
Zero progress is being made on cleaning up San Francisco Bay and Delta. More abandoned vessels are polluting the waters,like the recent salvage-long abandoned tug episode,,,and the stupid continuation of the moth ball fleet. Will we ever have a Bay Area politician who will give major priority to the health of the environment of the SF Bay Area!? All we ever get is pre-election 'lip service' empty promises. If that.
The federal government seems ,,,ungovernable,,, even by such an idealistic new President as Obama and his Democrat Party new majority. We are still spending American lives and $Billions we don't have on the unpopular and ineffective Middle East Wars,,,
Republican or Democrat, what difference does it really make,,, on the ground?

And,,,Now,,,for something totally different,,,Let's make fun of San Francisco Bay Area's TRADER JOE'S shoppers !!
Did you know?,,,
Trader Joe's can't keep in stock such delicacies as flavored olive oil and pepper jelly and flavored balsamic vinegar,,,because their customers,,,GET THIS!,,,"ONLY WANT PLAIN CREAM CHEESE ON THEIR BAGELS, WITHOUT PEPPER JELLY,,,AND ONLY EVER USE REGULAR VIRGIN OLIVE OIL, NOT FLAVORED VIRGIN OIL OIL, ON ANYTHING" ,,,!!
What boring shoppers,,, and palates !!
How little food/culinary imagination !!
They are still parking in the Safeway lot, just shopping on the other side !! They will never be worthy of a Whole Foods store selection and assortment of fine foods.
HA!
The poor rut-loving sheepish shoppers even don't have a use for FLAVORED BALSAMIC VINEGAR !! Like 'fig and date',,or 'vanilla and fig',,,or,,,
Just plain-jane, unimaginative, boring, same old same old, "just the regular,,,hold the flavor and imagination and taste adventure,,,white bread you-are-probably-this-pathetic-in-bed-too,please" choices.
Ha,,,Ha,,,Ha,,,
A possible solution: cooking demos and recipe sheets !!

With MSN Hotmail,,,or even Google Gmail, it is STILL IMPOSSIBLE to block permanently one specific email address !!
Amazing,,,
Shows how the industry is not really on the user's side. If we want to permanently block someone we don't want to hear from ever again from emailing us, we should be able to do just that. It is our, receiver's, choice,,,not some jerk sender's right !!

I worked for PG&E in the 1960s on a gas crew,,,and was shocked that the Governors, the State Legislature, the CPUC, and the PG&E EXECUTIVES had a double standard on how gas mains and gas service lines were treated and buried
In rich neighborhoods, the ditch was leveled,,,by my shovel, sanded by buckets from a backhoe,leveled by my shovel, then gas main in front of you house was slowly and carefully lowered into the ditch by a strap on the backhoe arm, my job was to check for nicks then in the bottom on the ditch scary alone and patch them, then the gas pipe was sand buried again, leveled by my shovel,,, and separated from other electrical or pipe services in the ditch, and then slowly and carefully covered with dirt, not big heavy damaging dirt clods and rocks, from the surround, run over again and again by a backhoe. So much care to insure the maximum safe life of the pipe,,,and the homes on that street.
In what seemed poorer neighborhoods, the gas main down your street in front of your house,,, was just dropped in the ditch!,,,on the rocks and dirt clods!,,,no sand(how abundant!! and dirt cheap!! is sand in the state of California!? Stupid),,,and no guy down in the ditch checking for gas pipeline, tar or plastic, insulation nicks,,,just dump more rocks and hard clay dirt clods on that gas main or service line to your house !! And expect leaks,,,SOON!!
Now that the gas main explosion has happened in San Bruno, we and the Governator and the State Legislature need to step up and make it the LAW that there is ONE STANDARD, THE HIGH SAFE STANDARD, for California. Period.

It must really stink to be filthy rich and a big part of Silicon Valley: B.A.R.T. only goes 70mph,,,Not one major boulevard has its stop light signal timed by a computer ,in the birthplace of computers, tho SF has at least 3...and there are all these 'buried' SuperFund Toxic Sites that the super-rich computer makers that did them say they are not fully responsible for cleaning up, let the Feds do it
All they can brag about,,,is how filthy rich they individually are!! Screw the customers!!(yeah,baby), screw the public!!(just like Enron),screw the Environment!!(look at pg&e), screw-you Arrogance !! Are we back in Paris,France, socially and politically in the "Tale of Two Cities",,,or have we regressed all the way back to the Middle/Dark Ages with the raping lords?
How polluted does San Francisco Bay have to get,,, before all the Silicon Valley companies and corporations take some responsibility and show some Serious cash repair and restoration?! No, Silicon Valley and the computer industry is ALL about,,, PERSONAL GET RICH QUICKER. (Screw you, lazy unfortunate unlucky outside-not-inside bastards/others)
BART is was and always will be a second rate public transportation system, Ron Diridon et al. Max speed is 70mph. Scrap it and buy a Japanese bullet train. And you got all 9 SF Bay Area counties to significantly raise sales taxes,now almost 10%,,,for this massive expensive failure!?
Diamond Lanes are a failure, yet the politicians and power brokers still insist on taking away 25% or 33% of the full public access to our super expensive and poorly maintained freeways. The Silicon Valley execs ride in chauffeured cars/limos, so always ride in the diamond lanes. We allow them to act like spoiled children, 'shitting in their diapers' ,,,and on the public carpet,,,and then we are surprised they show little or no public responsibility!! Even failing to vote in over 20 years !!
Anything over $10M/yr in compensation is STEALING FROM SHAREHOLDERS !! How embarrassing to TAKE such bloated salaries and have so little personal, moral, political and social responsibility to show for it. What do you do with all that money,,,and potential,,,? All for you and your spoiled children, and little for the community you LIVE IN!!
Why does Silicon Valley have so many expensive SCHOOL DISTRICTS,,,with massively OVERPAID SUPERINTENDENTS,,, ASSISTANT SUPERINTENDENTS,,, PRINCIPALS,,, and ASSISTANT PRINCIPALS,,,?!! This is a huge HUGE waste of public money and so inefficient !! THE ENTIRE SILICON VALLEY SHOULD BE CONSOLIDATED INTO ONE LARGE AND VERY EFFICIENT,LESS THAN 10% MGMT. EXPENSE WAS A GOOD INITIATIVE IDEA!!, DISTRICT. NOW!!
Why doesn't every student in 'Silicon Valley' have a student computer ?????
Why is a private book store off campus still-FOR DECADES!!- ripping off the students of SJSU,,, INSTEAD OF MAINLY A STUDENT RUN TEXTBOOK STORE AND STUDENT RUN ONLINE TEXTBOOKS TOO ?! For decades we SJSU/SJSC students have been RIPPED OFF !! by a preferred almost monopoly business,,,and we are MAD AS HELL ABOUT IT !!
You can afford to buy the Governor's Office out of your own pocket!! No need for public donations.
Even the two water parks are second rate.
How major Embarrassing it must be to be,,, 'from Silicon Valley',,,'a corporation that started in Silicon Valley',,,'i am an executive in Silicon Valley',,,?!!

Meg Whitman says she will be a great governor transitioning from being an overpaid executive. That is not what her conservative cohorts at HILLSDALE COLLEGE newsletter say !!
Will quote the paragraph:
This is from the March 2008, volume 37,number 3 edition of the 'imprimis' ,a publication of the ultra-conservative Hillsdale College with 'over 1,500,000 readers monthly',,,an article titled 'Limited Government: Are the Good Times Really Over?' by a Charles A. Kesler,,,the third paragraph:
"Republican slogans have not been much better. Mitt Romney's was:"Washington is Broken." This populist refrain echoed, among others, Ross Perot's from 1992. Romney, of course, was less a populist than an expert offering his skill as a BUSINESSMAN-CONSULTANT. He appealed to the OLD REPUBLICAN FANTASY that if only Washington COULD BE RUN AS EFFICIENTLY AS A PRIVATE BUSINESS, ALL WOULD BE WELL. BUT GOVERNMENT IS A VERY DIFFERENT THING FROM BUSINESS. ELECTED OFFICIALS CAN'T HIRE OR FIRE GOVERNMENT EMPLOYEES AT WILL, ARE RESPONSIBLE TO AN ELECTORATE AT REGULAR INTERVALS, AND, ABOVE ALL, MUST TRY TO PERSUADE PEOPLE ABOUT GOALS THAT - UNLIKE ,SAY, PURSUING HIGHER PROFITS - ARE AMORPHOUS AND DISPUTABLE."
Don't you just love it!?,,,when an ultra-conservative organization SABOTAGES, GUTS, AND SLAUGHTERS,,,their own ultra-conservative, like Meg Whitman !?
Republicans defeating THEIR OWN Republican candidates, BEFORE the election!!,,,don't you just love the sight and smell of such arrogant, i never voted in over 20 years, defeat?
Meg Whitman was never FOR the good of all Californians, just the uber-rich.

B.A.R.T. is a total failure,,,it only goes up to 70mph,,,you can't see the small station signs out the tinted windows,,,or understand the indistinct announcements,,,so why not SCRAP IT AND BUY A BULLET TRAIN ?
If this is the 'best' that Silicon Valley and San Francisco can do, it is not good enough with massive waste of sales tax monies !!
JUNK IT,,,BUY A BULLET TRAIN !!
JUNK IT,,,BUY A BULLET TRAIN !!
San Jose has only one official NOAA-NWS weather station , at the airport, where NO ONE LIVES
Why is San Jose's only official weather station at the airport, where no one lives?
Why not downtown?
And Almaden Valley?
And Willow Glen?
And Valley Fair?

Silicon Valley ,the birthplace of the computer, does not have ONE timed boulevard using a computer
oh, San Jose says they have the computers and the staff but are waiting for a new mainframe,,,
El Camino Real and all the boulevards should have timed lights, NOW !!

If the SIERRA CLUB won't or can't fight to keep the 2 River Campgrounds in Yosemite Valley open,,,why should anyone still be a member of the Sierra Club !?
NPS says ,,,there is a 'flood danger' in allowing the continued use of these 2 fabulous campgrounds. As if floods have not passed through Yosemite Valley a thousand times in millions of years,,,
If you really wanted just to ban the fire pits to stop some of the smog in the Y. Valley, then fine, reopen the Upper and Lower River Campgrounds WITHOUT FIRE GRATES.
I challenge every Sierra Clugclugclug member ,,,to GET OFF YOUR DUFF,,,and DO SOMETHING MEANINGFUL for JOHN MUIR'S YOSEMITE, Dammit !!

The Democrats have until the end of 2010 to do something, a little, to save Social Security,,,then i am done with them, FOREVER.
Unless they take the tax cap off all income this year, i am never voting for another Democrat. Period.

The Federal IRS tax code MUST BE OVERHAULED IMMEDIATELY,,,but the Democrats and Republicans are into JOB SHIRKING, BIG TIME
The vast majority agree it is too big in pages and too complicated and too unfair with 'rifle shots' and lots of lousy 'loopholes'.
So why do we let Congress off the hook to fix it IMMEDIATELY ?
So why do we let Congress off the hook to fix it IMMEDIATELY ?
Pentagon spending is "out of control" and the Democrats and President Obama can not seem to handle it
Sometimes President Obama, and the Democrats, seems less in control Presidentially,,,and more like some unlucky guy trying to ride the bull machine in some rowdy D.C. bar.
Stephen Moore, Wall Street Journal, is sooo wrong about the positive effect of the 'economic stimulus' of the Jr. Bush Tax Cuts for the Rich !!
Let's take a real world example, shall we , instead of b.s. boviating about some b.s. economic theoretic hypothesis. My S.F. boss owns his own small business and in less than 20 years of cutting regular maintenance on a fleet of busses by running on bald tires and telling the mechanic to 'fix it ,,,maybe,,,next month' he has become a multi-millionaire. This is what greedy ambitious business people do. Cut corners any way they can to get rich as fast as they can. Including stealing wages, yep, regular hourly wages from some of their gullible 50 employees. Unless properly regulated, this is what businesses do.
And not paying taxes ,if they can get away with it; Let some else 'have to' pay a fair share of taxes to derive the American benefits. There is no way this guy can threaten to 'leave for a 3rd world country',,,his biz is in S.F. !! Dual citizenship aside,,,for now.(And besides, California is quickly becoming that polluted, unregulated, unfair, unkept, littered ugly, and infrastructure crumbling, spoiled rich vs chattel /slave working masses of poor in a state of a 'third world country' condition,,,)
So what has this ambitious greedy guy done with the Jr. Bush Tax Cuts for the Rich ? Really. Actually. He has bought cheaper second and third rate buses, because they cost less but breakdown more and perform less well/reliably.
New Setras and new MCIs. The Setras have a too small designed air compressor system to operate the main door and the air brakes, duhhh!!, and the new MCIs have a lousy hard ride compared to the 1980s old MCIs ,,,and the new MCI-'J's often stall on hills and possibly railroad tracks !! So scary. Not Prevosts or Van Hools or reliable quality busses.
And more new flashy cars to drive. And instead of a east coast vacation condo, a much larger and more expensive vacation house on the east coast. Oh, and huge contributions to politicians. I don't see a lot of 'economic stimulus' there.
Mr. Moore , aren't you just making excuses for your rich friends and super profitable corporations to be more selfish and greedy-sick ? Besides them not paying their fair share in taxes, progressive taxes, as these successful and profitable and super-rich can certainly afford to pay more, tho they don't want to.
It is like milking dairy cows; you have to do it regularly and often and the 'cows' keep on producing and chewing their cud.

Why are the Democrats not ashamed of living with the obscene Bush Tax Cuts for the super-rich, when i am ?!!
How can the Democrats sleep at night, for TWO YEARS,,, when Social Security and the damn Federal Budget NEED THAT TAX MONEY ON EVERY DOLLAR OF RICH SELFISH BASTARD'S THAT ARE MAKING 600-800 MILLION A YEAR !!
Who is going to stand up for the working poor and the declining middle class,,,if not the Democrats ?!! But the Democrats are not standing;they are sleeping. And collecting big money from fat secret money corporate 'special' interests.
The Public is no longer 'special' to Congress, that much is clear. Until we Americans rise up in a new revolution to take back our bought and paid for congress with public funded campaigns for all state and federal offices, we will continue to be disrespected, lied to, and cheated by this congress.
A Constitution amendment is necessary. We as a country founded on principles can not continue otherwise. We will all just be cash whores otherwise.
The Democrats talked up 'single payer' but could not even deliver a 'public option' !! Now they are 'waiting' for the Bush tax cuts to 'expire' versus killing them with relish,,,What if they let them continue until forever ?
Will you too be too ashamed to vote Republican,,,and Democrat, too ?

Strange tourists i have met in California on vacation,,,
First, there were the two women from 'russia' who talked the whole 12 hour tour in the front seats of the tour bus by the driver and microphone. Isn't that right out of the Dirty Corporate Tricks and Other Unethical Behaviors Handbook ? What business competitor would not do that.
And the 20-something rich princess from a SF Nob Hill expensive hotel who got on a big tour bus and kept on,,, and kept on,,, telling the 'tour' talking driver ,,," i partied so hard last night i need to sleep so please NO MORE TALKING",,,on a tour bus?!
And three women who were 75 minutes late getting back to the tour bus in Yosemite Valley.
And the rich middle aged guy in the expensive fancy clothes with the silk neck scarf, from 'Spain',with his family in the front of the bus who grabbed the steering wheel of a moving 45' bus on highway 120 outside Yosemite National Park,,, of a moving 45' bus,,, and tried to turn it around,,,a moving bus with many tourists on it. And the CHP would not come out to talk to this dangerous foreign-passport tourist with "you have left the scene and area of the incident".
And the Greek tour guide with 'his' 10 Greek tour passengers on a 55 passenger full bus of various other countries and various other hotel guests out of SF ,who kept telling the driver of the tour bus "my people are jet-lagged from the flight yesterday and need to sleep today SO NO TALKING !!" on a all day tour bus.
And the family that runs an expensive private charter yacht out of the West Coast who think it is the high-paying guests who have to suffer the daily loud and rude verbals attacks of the son, in public, against the father-captain of the large luxury yacht.
And the Japanese tour guide out of an L.A. Japanese travel agency using a S.F. japanese bus company who for years told well dressed Japanese visitors on tour buses to Yosemite National Park that "there is gold in the steams here" just to secretly laugh and watch the Japanese tourists run into a park stream with their expensive shoes on with 'gold fever' to search for yellow or shiny specks. Taking many many rocks out of the park. And the S.F. japanese tour bus company was aware of this constant insult to foreign Japanese visitors.
And the old guy with the last wish to die in Muir Woods who had his whole large family on the regular SF to Muir Woods minibus, with a hidden bottle of oxygen. He stopped breathing when we got to the parking lot in Muir Woods and the driver asked if there were any nurses or doctors on board. Two nurses and a doctor, of 37 passengers , put him horizontal on the back seat and gave him an exam and established an airway. The driver called "911" and the ranger ran out, a fire truck from Sausalito showed up with siren and lights, and another emergency vehicle with sirens and lights showed up, an ambulance. The old guy was taken to San Rafael city's hospital with his large family and the last word was he lived.
And the 3 screaming babies on the Carmel tour bus, returning to SF in 2 hours, who screamed bloody murder the whole way. For 2 solid hours. One was up front with the mother and the old grandmother who kept saying to these high pitched operatic constant screams, "oh, isn't he the cutest". There was another screaming child and his/her incompetent parents in the middle and,,,another screaming child and his incompetent parents in the back. No pacifiers cuz "oh, we don't believe in them". Isn't there some way to fine the incompetent parents,,,after an hour,,,not 2 full hours ?? Especially on airplanes.
And the 20-something rich princess from a SF Nob Hill expensive hotel who got on a big tour bus and kept on,,, and kept on,,, telling the 'tour' talking driver ,,," i partied so hard last night i need to sleep so please NO MORE TALKING",,,on a tour bus?!

The driver called "911" and the ranger ran out, a fire truck from Sausalito showed up with siren and lights, and another emergency vehicle with sirens and lights showed up, an ambulance. The old guy was taken to San Rafael city's hospital with his large family and the last word was he lived.
And the 3 screaming babies on the Carmel tour bus, returning to SF in 2 hours, who screamed bloody murder the whole way. For 2 solid hours. One was up front with the mother and the old grandmother who kept saying to these high pitched operatic constant screams, "oh, isn't he the cutest". There was another screaming child and his/her incompetent parents in the middle and,,,another screaming child and his incompetent parents in the back. No pacifiers cuz "oh, we don't believe in them". Isn't there some way to fine the incompetent parents,,,after an hour,,,not 2 full hours ?? Especially on airplanes.

Obama's EPA says the "toxic oil dispersant" used in the Gulf Oil Spill ,,,is not dangerous. That's SCARY !!
So Bush jr.'s EPA is static and did not get the campaign slogan "change" in the recent big upset national election ?

COMCAST has a huge problem with premium channel selection;You can not tell from 999 channels which ones you can watch !!
Does COMCAST really ,,,really ?,,,expect us to 3 stations at a time scroll through 999 options, with NO HIGHLIGHTING or STAR MARKING of those channels WE HAVE PAID FOR and CAN WATCH ??!!
Really. We have to open each and every one of 999 channels, just to find the ones , scattered all over the place, that we have paid extra for and can watch. Really, is that the best that COMCAST can do in 2010 ?!! And look at all those 'NOT AUTHORIZED' on each channel we are clicking thru ? Really !!
Comcast has a TERRIBLE awful out dated search mode for channels you have PAID FOR and CAN WATCH !!

VERSUS and TOUR DE FRANCE, Where are the safety, good sportmanship and honesty in racing!!??
How do we know or believe that the bicyclists are racing, if we don't have accurate information,,, like constant speed readings on all bicyclists with g.p.s.,,,and all riders wearing heart rate monitors? Is it all just fakery and surrendered-'wins' and racers intentionally crashing in front of Lance Armstrong, and getting away with it !!, without even a protest verbally from commentators paul and phil ?
We get occasional temperatures and wind speeds, but not humidity and comfort indexes. What the hell up with that b.s.!?(Oh, it's french and the french have been stealing from American tourist on the Paris Metro by giving the wrong lesser change for years.) No excuse !!
Versus is not french , is it,,,This is America, and paul and phil have no balls or opinions in commentary and are sooo boring and 'establishment'. Soo fxcking boring.
Time for MAJOR changes,,,
The tour de france needs a Safety and Good Sportmanship Ombudsman. (France, yeah right,,,)
Every non-solo accident is instant replayed and investigated and a cause is discovered and the CARELESS RACER is IMMEDIATE DISQUALIFIED FROM THE TOUR, FINED 50,000f, and boo-ed by the Scandanavians. No more ignoring brutes causing broken bones of others.
You, spectator, interfere with a racer, say back-pat a racer or spit on a racer,,,YOU GO TO JAIL IMMEDIATELY and pay a fine of at least $1000.
(It's the french,,,ok, 1000 francs)
You let your dog loose near the peleton and the dog interferes with the race, you GO TO JAIL IMMEDIATELY OVERNIGHT and pay a large 1000 franc fine.
You egomaniac-nonsupporter run within arms reach of the side of a racer or in front of a racer impeding the race ,because you are a self-center idiot!!, YOU GO TO JAIL IMMEDIATELY OVERNIGHT and pay a large fine 5000 francs.
And if you think you can get away with falling in front of a racer in bad sportmanship and unsafe behavior ,like happened to Lance Armstrong, and get away with it without ANY official commentator disapproval,,,YOU ARE IMMEDIATELY DISQUALIFIED FROM THIS TOUR and ALL FUTURE TOURS. And you pay a large fine of 50,000f. Go race in Spain or Italy or Iraq.
No more cobblestones.
No more racing in the rain, but under a yellow flag of stay in sequence and go safe slow.
Barricades at road edge to keep spectators safely back, on all climbs and finishes.
More police. Less crowd anarchy.
(This is fxcking france,,,yeah, life's a bitch there,,,)
More clean electric motorcycles so we can have full time video on all racers,,,all the time. If i want to watch just Lance, all day, all tour de france, i should be able to do that online. With all the important stats like road incline, heart rate, wind, temp. , humidity, comfort index, road condition, and CONSTANT SPEED -this is a race right? - by g.p.s. for all racers, all the time they are on their bikes, all the tour. ALL THE TIME,,,not just when Versus feels like giving us a small bone.
Or you can continue to make it as phony and faked and corrupt(where trainers give sure wins to their u.p.s. drivers as christmas gifts every year) and no-speed fraudulent as horse racing.
We actual bicycle riders, like up and across canada in 1973, do not want to see ,as real bicycle enthusiasts, a GLADIATOR TRASH-TV EVENT in bicycling racing with un-sportmanship crashes, broken bones all over the place and blood. This is 2010 !!

Blundering 'Bubba' Clinton and Congress repealed the financial crucial 1933 Glass-Steagall Act, separating types of banks,,,The USA and the World should still be very afraid
We could have another near/real 'great depression', because of bankers control of Congress.
When you can bring your piggy bank into a bank instead of rolling your own coin, then that will be a sign Congress is willing to give up some corp.contributions for campaigning and do the right thing.

87 DAYS OF SPEWING OIL,,,and Congress has not lifted 'Tricky Dick"Nixon's limited liability from such oil industry COMMON DISASTERS !!
Nor forced the Oil Industry to design a better, more reliable, more dependable "b.o.p.",,,
The Republicans lost, but obviously Corporate America still runs Congress, not Congress or the American people.

The MOST EMBARRASSING SPORTS COMMENTARY ,,,is definitely ,first U.S. WOMEN TENNIS,,,and ,second, BICYCLING ,TOUR DE FRANCE
Compared to American football commentary, talking heads for US Women's Tennis and Bicycling should be selling used cars-MaryJo!!-for all the hot air/b.s. they try to pass. Paul and Phil !!
In America, a spade use to be a spade.
The stage 14 win was a gift from the peleton, NOT A WIN.

Civilized rich countries like Germany and Britain should be very carefully dealing with the USA's current case of Deregulation Mania
Deregulation is still the acid kool-aid of choice, it seems, even tho the Republicans soundly lost national control and we came very near-believe?-to a second Great Depression. President Obama has selected a cabinet of Deregulators who made millions from the farce.
Congress is still deluded by the corporate campaign contributors who are still strong for deregulation. And enough Americans believe we can do 'ok' or better with less government, less taxes, and less laws-a runaway Pentagon budget?- that are enforced so business can do pretty much whatever it wants. Like blatantly steal payroll hours/days from employees.
What does this mean to civilized , more advanced economies? The USA is still irresponsible and unbelievable and dangerously untrustworthy. If it wants to be so reckless with its future, then other countries should beware.

Isn't the biggest flaw in Meg Whitman's argument-you could drive Hogwarts thru it!!- that Ca.'s biggest problem is the "2 Million unemployed" on welfare,,,that J.K.Rowling , unemployed and on welfare , created more wealth than Meg ever did?
Wouldn't it be funny if Meg just told the truth that she and Republicans are just trying to protect obscenely wealthy people's Millions and Billions?
Boy, that would be embarrassing!!

July 2010 , President Obama's federal Department of Labor is anti-honest worker and pro-wage stealing corporations !!
I heard about the book on wage stealing in America, so i checked my multi-million dollar profitable employers wage stub against my records ,,,and found my California employer had been stealing not just 15 minutes a day, but two complete 16 hour days of work per 2 week paycheck !!
So i called Obama's San Francisco office of the Department of Labor and was told to tell my painful ,employee as less powerful position story ,,,to three different civil servants!! They finally said 'you have a obvious strong legal case of wage theft ALREADY,,,so get MORE EVIDENCE and CALL a FOURTH one of us again,,,oh, and this has just been a CASUAL CONVERSATION so NOTHING is RECORDED or OFFICIAL" ,,,!!
I also complained to my Congressional Representative. Two days later my employer found out. Instead of 'friendly' hellos i have been getting lots of dirty looks from fat-cats who are stealing my wages.
So whose side are you on, Mr. President? The rich profitable corporations who are so "deregulated" that they are now stealing our hourly wages all across America,,,or the practically powerless ,hard working working poor?

President Obama's environmental record so far and the huge Gulf oil spill,,,that he can not even say 'toxic chemical dispersants should not have been used'
Mr. President,
Many mistakes were obviously made in the Gulf oil spill Disaster. One was trusting the oil companies to save the environment from toxic oil spills. Big mistake.
And federal regulation was too good old boy inept/incompetent/useless. Big mistake.
And the accident response was untested, unready, and had totally unreliable technology. Big mistake.
Toxic chemical dispersants, the experts and environmentalists might now tell you, should not have been used. The oil should have been collected on the surface at the site with better technology, like the movie star's, Kevin Costner's. Big mistake.
And you and your team thought you were going to exploratory oil drill off the Northern California coast !? Big mistake!!

Versus !! You need to un-gag or fire you two Tour de France bicycle race commentators for bland spineless commentary
The head butting at the finish yesterday was CLEARLY unsafe, not good sportmanship, and against the rules!! Yet VERSUS's two main commentators sat on their integrity and voices. This has got to change!
Do the French and their Tour de France and Versus think the only way to keep interest in bicycle racing going is to have more of a gladiator sport, after cleaning up much of the illegal unfair performance drug abuse? We want a safety ombudsman for the race, speed limits in the rain for safety like the yellow flag in oval Nascar car racing, and an end to the broken bone carnage of the cobblestone street stages!! This is 2010, for Christ's sake!! Sport clothing designers could design skid pads for hip and knee pressure contact points with the asphalt and elbow cushions in modern comfortable attire, like modern swim skins for racers.
And start showing the race leader/pack speed constantly, as we have had enough of the horse race fakery of petit mort winners and second rate assumers at the finish line!!

Google is doing a TERRIBLE job of customer service running Blogger !!
There is now little or no email customer service to report problems with Blogger or get basic help. And look at how rich Google is, so there is no excuse for them using the failed Microsoft no customer service model. No excuse.
When you click "post" and your blog article disappears, forever, where does it go !? Does Blogger care? Does Google care about these customers? Obviously not.

What do you think,,,Meg Whitman will do,,,after buying the Governorship of California ,ruthless-Stanford style?
Well, i'll bet those terrible cause-of-all-our-problems "2 Million" unemployed WILL BE THE FIRST TO BE FIRED !!
Who's next? All State employees, like those lazy DMV workers (yipee!!) and those usually incompetent CalTrans engineers (horay!!),,,oh, and all those too busy to get the budget done on time state legislators (halleluiah!!),,,
Then all those housewives who REFUSE TO JOIN THE 'DINK/double income no kids' just to afford a simple basic house(forget about affording a family like single- teachers say-paycheck earners back in the 50s and 1960s good old days California)!!
Then all those husbands who claim to be 'middle class' workers,,,but should be either low cash or high cash. California is going to look and smell/reek alot like Mexico,,,
Then all those kids, those underachieving kids, who do not speak 3 languages at kindergarten like Meg's kids,,,and who don't do calculus in 3rd grade, like Meg's kids,,,and who don't start their own V.C.-sponsored biz by grade 6, like Meg's kids.
THEN,,,THEN,,,THEn,,,all the teachers,those bums, but not the golden parachute and golden handshake principals and superintendents and their unaccountable ilk,,,thank you,Golden Idol of the Fat Cat!!
Then,,,!!(she hates penisons it seems) and who gets bigger double-dip pensions for just 20yrs of pension&disability but all the COPS and all the FIREMAN , THOSE LAZY SIREN-DONUT CHASERS AND LOW-RIDING SKIRT-CHASING COPS IN CRUISERS !! Yeah !!

A possible MegWhitman'sWorld for California:less taxes for the rich mean,,,more taxes for you making less than $200k/yr !!
More potholes,,,not less. Just spent over $200 on tire and alignment,,,a yearly expense in current California.
More debt spending with the lowest and costliest bond rating in the USA,,,AND NO CHANCE OF A BALANCED BUDGET,,,just keep dumping our debt on our future Californians.
Oh, and MORE DEREGULATION,,,not that Enron dvd was enough for the Republicans in bankrupting California,,,and PG&E's recent ballot issue failed because we Californians can no longer trust them,,,and the stinking corrupt machine that has become Sacramento. So we voters just took away the corrupt practice of gerrymandering,,,and made the state wet sand beaches public property with the Coastal Commission,,,and even put some brakes on the former rapidly rising property taxes with the private property tax revolt in the 70s of Prop.13.
Expect smog and traffic and everything to get worse,,,just so the super-rich don't have to pay their fair share ,a pittance for millionaires, in taxes.
More temp.agency jobs, like the VERY unhappy many employees at big successful Genentech,,,and a temp. agency taking 1/4-1/3 of your wage, and all your possible benefits like medical and dental and 401k, while you worker harder than anyone else there. I have worked there and there are many many unhappy workers there. Is this the 'brave new world' and 'metropolis' you really want !?
Higher bridge tolls,,,and probably more toll roads,,,nickel and diming the working poor daily,,,,as the rich coast totally safe and cushioned from any harsh economic reality, like paying taxes on Social Security on their full incomes not just the foolish first $200k.
Do we really want a major-Mexico north of the border, with a vanishing middle class, an arrogant rich 20% so sick with selfish greed and ambition that they care little or not for the state's former mentally ill patients kicked to the curb in the 70s,,,nor quality medical for returning veterans,,,nor for Social Security and Medicare which most Republicans lie and say they support but in Congress are doing their best to strangle-like-a-kitten to death.
OK, so many Mexican-Americans have dual passports and can and are building mansions in Mexico, even Americans are fleeing,,,but do we really want to emulate the social , educational, environmental, political and financial failures of America's continental disgrace that squanders its riches in oil and silver and a very hard working populace?
We can do better in California; we can again say 'no thanks' to the total agenda failure of the Republicans of the recent national rule past,,, and MegWhitman'sWorld.

What have we learned ,so far, from the BP-Gulf oil spill?
BP can not be trusted in the vital environment, either by what they say or what they do.
The current standard of B.O.P.s is unsatisfactory ,,,and yet little is being done to improve this critical piece of equipment.
Kevin Costner was right,,,for over 20 years !!,,,he has better oil clean-up technology in his oil centrifuge units than the Big Oil Industry !!
Oil Dispersal chemicals, unlike the Exxon Valdez-Alaska oil spill, should not have been used, and certainly not the most toxic ones when safer ones were on the shore.
The Feds should have taken charge IMMEDIATELY tho it is curious neither the Pres. Obama nor the Congress was keen on the idea. A poor environmental stewardship score for all three !!
If oil leaks are happening all the time,,,hundreds of gallons/barrels a month worldwide, then who should set a higher standard for clean-up. Certainly not the Oil Industry. Nor the President. Maybe the U.N. ?
The USA Nation and public should be encouraged to submit ideas to improve technology, strategy for spills, and other related ideas,,,with PRIZE MONEY and a AWARD. Let it be a world wide invitation !!

Even that head-case TV-President Bartlett could not see the common ground THAT ALL INCOME SHOULD BE TAXED FOR SOCIAL SECURITY,,,NOT JUST THE FIRST $200K,,,this is a no-brainer,smarty pants everywhere
Shame on you Americans for letting Social Security fail,,,because you are going to pamper the rich who should be daily milked like a cow for taxes. Shame shame shame!!
And all you have to do is say "all income needs to be taxed for Social Security;it is THAT important",,,dumbass lazy careless workaholic AMERICANS !!
So now to save it,,,WE are bringing back progressive taxation, BIG TIME.
IT IS JUST THAT SIMPLE ,,,congress sellouts to corporate america.

And try to get a bill adjustment for lousy 'guaranteed service' !!

VERSUS,hey!!,Why are you still hiding the bicycle speed and grade of bicycle races,,,afraid of the 21st century?
Or are you just continuing the sport's 'cover-up' of critical info.?
Tour Dauphine and Tour Suisse,,,but no individual bicycle speeds and road grades put on screen. Car races 'get it'. Motorcycle races 'get it' as vital info.
So why are you,VERSUS, such sport cowards and continue to hide the facts?

NPS , can you be more incompetent? The Gulf Goof-off,,,Now the Yosemite Concessionaire, Delaware North, is doing as little as possible for guest services !!
I was in Yosemite Valley on Monday 7 June 2010 and the shuttle system was overloaded for the number of free shuttles they had out on the road there. Also the 2 hour paid Valley Tour tram was sold out at 60 paying passengers in only one vehicle for 1pm, when i saw one parked in the trees just west. They were turning away PAYING CUSTOMERS AND COULD HAVE SOLD A SECOND TRAM AT 1pm !! What gives DN ??
How does Delaware North of New York get away with providing so little service to guests when the previous huge corporation, MCA, took advantage of every opportunity to make money and provide service, from raft rental to a second VT tram at every hour ??
I called the lame-duck sitting Superintendent and he and his secretary blew me off. "Talk to the NPS business department." I'm calling my Senator, sucker !!
If you have not heard of the latest incompetence by NPS, just in Yosemite, not all over the USA,,,did you know that NPS tried to remove most of the motel guest housing at Yosemite Lodge on the south side of the YL road as a 'flood zone' when the whole valley always was a flood zone!-smells like removing the campgrounds was for the benefit of the rich bastards at the protected Ahwahnee Hotel- and did take the gas station out on the north side, the idiots!(what do they think cars nowadays run on), and tried to close the climber camp Camp 4 but had their dumb-asses sued successfully by the climbers and had to designate Camp 4 a "National Historic Site" !! Can you find a more incompetent federal agency(ok, the Dept. of Education,,,and the Defense Department,,,oh, and the Department of Commerce).
Where is the Sierra Club on this ?! Do they even care about Muir's park any more ? Why aren't they monitoring every move in Yosemite for the public interest and keeping us posted on their website ? Busy selling coffee table photograph books ??
ps-Expect the new 'organic' very expensive food concessionaire at Muir Woods National Monument to fail within a year , because their prices are way to high and out of reach of the average park visitor. Another 'fubar' move by NPS in picking this otherwise good company. Hey NPS, where is the multi-story parking garage Muir Woods has needed for decades, in the West meadow,,,now finally used for dirt parking ??
Why wasn't someone out there from NPS monitoring the irregular and lousy service of the free shuttle buses at Curry, the Ahwahnee, and the Lodge,,,?
Should have been 4 '90 day wonders' with one at the Village too !! This is a park on sloppy cruise control,,,
Can the gate rangers be any slower at the highway 120 gate in collecting money ??!! Geesh,,,

Save energy,,,IF the refrigerator manufacturers are STILL making and selling new units with HOT incandescent light bulbs,,,just UNSCREW THE BULB,,,and use the room light
Think of all the energy we could be saving,,,and how hot that light bulb gets every time you open the frig ??
Kudos to Rachel Ray Show for airing "Contraception" yesterday,,,you don't see Oprah being that brave every year
Women are sooo dumb about contraception,,,and their bodies,,,and sex.
At least the 'female condom' is still around,,,
Whatever happened to the easy to use 'sponge' ,,,?
And the Mentor adhesive-base condom,,,?
Great ideas,,,
i can not tell you how many Trojan condoms have rolled off...or torn...other brands too...
And Oprah continues to coddle women. Where is the beef: women still marry men for money, women con guys for free drinks and food that leaves their self-esteem just where, women don't fully participate in sex but usually play the 'dead cow' on the first encounter just to be judgmental of the guy,,,sick sick sick,,,where is the social progress with all the cash flow?

Why Professional Baseball,,,SUCKS,,,
First,,,a "perfect game" is described as a no-hitter no-run game, just the pitcher and the catcher playing,,,catch. Eee gods, that is dull.
Second,,,Most of the players are unfit, fat and or out of shape and could not run a good 10k if their lives depended on it. And probably on "performance enhancing" or other drugs. Boooring,,,
Third,,,They make huge Millions in salaries,,,for hitting a small ball ,,,yet all that tv money seems squandered,,, What about the cities that have to put up with the traffic jams,,,and trash,,,and eye-pollution of seeing orange and black more than once a year in SF. Yuck.
Fourth,,,the beer and food are overpriced,,,as are the cheap seats that should always go for less than 10 bucks. Uggg,,,
Fifth,,,the pitcher is encouraged to hit the batter with a hard fast baseball, for macho points. Pitcher brag about it,,,they expect to receive revenge. THAT is just SICK.
And the OFFICIATING,,,is dumb and blind,,,with no instant replay.

1 June 2010, Will California voters be street-wise again to defeat P.G.&E.'s anti-comsumer Prop.16 ,,,and both Republican Governor candidates, Meg Whitman and the other 'poser' ?
Meg Whitman is spending $Millions with a very short message full of little information. What is she afraid to say about her candidacy? That she is going to continue the failed policy of Governor Arnold S. of not taxing the rich individuals and rich excess-profit corporations enough, that got us partly into almost the worst/second Great Depression?
Seems she could have and should have paid more taxes, especially Social Security tax on her full income instead of just the 'legal' first $200k. "Deregulation" has been a failure, with smaller and smaller government unable to properly regulate banks and businesses that have cost us all jobs, savings, and a brighter future. I'll bet Meg Whitman the candidate is against salary accountability, but for take all you can get !!
This is such a wrong basic philosophy for California , now, with massive debt, and a terrible lowest-in-USA bond rating that is costing us too much. We need a strong candidate who knows the corrupt and unreliable Sacramento Machine that has disregarded the public interest for the corporate rich and individual rich lobbyists interests,,,and who can fight to return some fair and reasonable progressive tax balance to the broke and busted State of California.
Meg Whitman the candidate for state leader Governor is not talking about how she is going to fix all our potholes that make our roads, city and highway, the worst in the USA.
Whitman is not talking about how she is going to improve our state bond rating so we don't pay way too much as a State to borrow money.
Meg Whitman does not also seem to be talking about how our public school system-other than give up charter schools- is failing with superintendents taking golden parachutes and golden handshakes, when that proposition to limit school districts to a 10% administrative budget was a good idea. Teacher should just teach, and administrators and the PTA can do all the rest. To require teachers to do more than teach for so little pay just perpetuates a system where most young idealistic teachers quit the field in just a few years.
But Meg Whitman the candidate for California Governor seems to be trying to buy the office, instead of full disclosure and the willingness to lead us all, not just the already spoiled and greedy rich individuals and corporations.
Do you know what terrible secret back room tax cut deals and not so secret embarrassing deals cities and counties and the State of California have made in the past and recently ? The City of Monterey get $1/year from part of the HP massive fortune from the Monterey Bay Aquarium !? Shame on HP for making such a terrible public image deal with their smarter and higher paid lawyers, as the aquarium would not and practically could not be sited anywhere else but Monterey. How does Monterey pay for the additional policing and trash impact ? And MBAQ has many rich and generous donors,,,Shame shame shame on you HP, Packard family, and City of Monterey for making such a bad for the public interest 'deal' !!
Is candidate Meg Whitman not going to raise taxes on those that can easily afford is ,,,so California becomes even more of a third world state, with failing infrastructure that IS the State of California's responsibility ?!! Shame shame shame on you California state govt for closing the adequate and many state mental hospitals in the 1970s and kicking those legally insane and mentally ill to the sidewalks of SF !!
What is she going to do with/about the state highway dept. , CalTrans, that failed to see the east Bay Bridge should not have been repaired after the 1989 quake one top section failure, when the whole dumb thing was built on wood in 1936 in the mud and the water !!
And now CalTrans has directly cost us Californians by its incompetence in mishandling the replacement bridge contract not the original $1Billion in bloated cost,,,but over $10Billion IN COST OVERRUNS !!
Candidate Meg Whitman is not talking about a lot she should be talking a lot about as a possible leader. We have had too many bad Governors, like her supporter Grey Davis, the only Governor kicked out of office for lying to us about deregulating home gas and electric energy and the price would go down,,,not up, as it did,,, 4xs the first month for some. And bankrupted the state(Enron dvd,also Electric car dvd). Good riddance Grey Davis,,,and Meg Whitman,,,and do little, tax not enuf Governor Arnold S.!!
And you, PG&E, will not deceive us California voters EITHER !! We remember you costing us $5B with these new unreliable home meters,,,and 'Erin Brockovich' movie !! You can not be trusted and need to be very strongly regulated !!

Spring 2010 and the Disasterous Gulf BP oil spill,,,All it would have taken on day one, was a U.S. non-nuclear torpedo to seal the leak.
But BP and regrettably the Feds too are complacent with this environmental disaster.

NEWSFLASH: NbcBayAreaTV says that Comcast Cable customers loosing tv for "3 days is not news,as they are know as the worst",,,But NBC also saying this is NOT news is NEWS !!
Could NBC, ABC, and CBS be any lazier and irresponsible in gathering local relevant news?

SHAME on local KTVU2, KRON4,KQED9 and nation news ABC, CBS, and NBC ,,, for not sending one camera out on 11-12pm 15 April 2010 to catch on news video the failure of the USPS in making tax drop off work !!
This year there were only 2 post offices in the entire Bay Area, Oakland and SFO Airport where i was at 1150pm unable to drop off my completed taxes because of incompetent SF traffic cops and unprepared USPS staff,,,over a hundred cars were stuck in a jam, and people were bailing out of passenger seats 2 and 3 blocks away and running in the last 15 minutes,,,
But you will never see that news footage,,,because the major new agencies were too lazy to send a news crew out at 11pm. Sad how soft and overpaid our local tv newsreaders have become,,,

Gee golly gosh that total failure of a City of Oakland in financial jeopardy,,,is PUBLICLY BOYCOTTING Arizona for trying to control ILLEGAL ALIENS,,,
And the Mayor of Oakland, a black, has still failed to keep his 'word' to cut his salary.
It is like Oakland pissing into the wind,,,
It is like Oakland pissing into the wind,,,
Is UVA soft on female violence, with female roommates who don't call the cops IMMEDIATELY,,,and a public bar fight?
Is this more of that 'Southern gentleman' behavior?
