All the things he mentioned as good works, are the very things that have brought CA to the brink of closing down their state offices for a few days a month. He is so old he is still taking about Nixon. <BR/><BR/>The environmental regulation he is so proud of is strangling the business opportunities in a very ‘Blue’ state that is turning ‘Red’ in ink, anyway. Talk about a petrified dinosaur, this guy in Howie Weaver-speak is a “F**king” prehistoric man. <BR/>Aside, I am wondering if he took an early ‘bailout’ of his McClatchy stock with the rest of the weasels.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4726844761468242273.post-47906460308407600642009-01-11T19:50:00.000-08:002009-01-11T19:50:00.000-08:00Damn, I just purchased a new 96' MY compliments of...Damn, I just purchased a new 96' MY compliments of MNI's demise and you people want to jinx the incoming cruiser class! <BR/><BR/>P.S.
