Please keep in mind that Dr. Robert Stavins is a vocal proponent of the market based measures that are at the heart of AB 32. Also, since the NYT is the preferred publication of this blog post, it is worth noting the several articles of that paper over the last 4 years describing the benefits to California from the state’s premier clean energy law. Documenting the wide array of economic growth that has occurred and opportunities that lie ahead for California puts Hull in the majority as opposed to being an outlier.

No, not the problem, the future is gov t unions and illegals. Who wouldn t think that will drive the Cal economy for the balance of the 21st century?Ben Franklin, Thomas Jefferson had their turn, Abraham Lincoln, George Washington Carver had their turn, Franklin Roosevelt, John Lewis(UMW), Emily Dickinson had their turn. Now it is the 52 year old retired state cop with all the toys in street, it is gov t subsidized house full of people coming and going(two minivans and a SUV always there)….i.e a five bedroom house equals a at least a three family house. The cop and house full of transients, both dependent on gov t income… they are the future of California.

Calif’s problem is not prop 13……..its unions and ILLEGALS.

“Why do women of the environmental left dress like…….my grandfather?”

Well, judging from that photo you linked to I would say they are just about as likely to wear a dress as your grandfather. The two “ladies” in that photo link are the absolute antithesis of feminine pulchritude. I’m guessing Dana’s nickname around the office is Butch. She looks like a thinner version of my college Social Geography Prof. (an in-your-face, lesbian socialist with a disposition as ugly as her manly mug).

Do these journaliar ProgBot freaks have the slightest clue how self stereotyping and utterly bizarre they are. Hell no! I bet Dana thinks of herself as the epitome of an unbiased, non partisan journalist and just as normal as blue sky and apple pie.

To paraphrase William F. Buckley, I would rather be ruled by the first one hundred people in the San Jose phone book than by the likes of Dana Hull. Hell, I would rather be ruled by the inmates of Folsom State Prison than these ProgBot mutants.

and at risk of piling on…..

Here’s Dana, second from right (or should I say third from Left).

If I didn’t know better I would have guessed Dana’s LinkedIn profile was an Onion parody. (How did she miss out on covering OCCUPY??) lol

The scariest thing is that she considers herself a “business reporter”.

Then we come to this:

“…I listen. I hunt down documents. I write. I blog. I tweet. I live-tweet!…”

…and I throw up.

Self-absorption. The plague of the 21st century.

Seriously! Who puts this dog’s breakfast of accomplishments and sundry interests in their LINKEDIN profile???!!!

To the left it doesn’t matter one bit what things cost or whether they will work or will they bury the state in the long run. The only thing that matters is does it make me feel good or does it sound right. With California having a super majority of leftists running the state the only thing saving us is the ability to get propositions on the ballot.

True story: One day, the air quality testers were testing the air in Los Angeles. The air was good. The next day, it was bad and they were stumped. Finally, after much testing in the labs, they discovered “foreign particles” in the air. The foreign particles turned out to be from China. It seems that China has these huge dust storms and those particles are carried on the jet streams and land right smack dab in California. So, should we sue the Chinese government for polluting our air? LOL!!

I’d also note that Stavins also was very critical of CARB’s so called economic analysis done to justify the AB32 scoping plan; but then so were many others. I’d also note San Diego UT and Orange County Reg used to cover AB32 pretty well, until the ‘lost’ their ace reporters.
