Jerry Brown’s a clown/ That said, this was perhaps the most infantile column I’ve ever read in a paper full of them.
Sounds like you need a humor checkup to me.
laura:
i received a tax refund check from the state of california for 1973 for $100. i don’t recall it happing since. definitely not during brown’s reign (either one). normally i will excuse a mis-typed word on posting as it happens to everyone, but i would appreciate it if someone who will be making a living with the written word (attorney/editor/writer) would spell cannibal correctly.
ps. so what if he’s “hip”. his judgement is suspect, his causes are his alone, and his gaffes innumerable.
Evidently, being a pot-head is sufficient qualification to run California.
function before form. always.
As a Stanford Law Grad , i just love Jerry Brown.
He is so, hip. Why it was that Ronnie Reagan, who coud not keep the CA budget in shape, and even went on to be President, where he never balanced one federal budget.
Your idea of brain salads, Seth, is a bit strange.
Is canabalism the thing in the Springs ?
When Brown is Governor, he will bring back CA real estate, if not, then so many people will move to the Springs, you will be crying EUREKA.
As a Standford Law grad, can you tell us what Brown proposes to use for money to fund his universal welfare system?
I would expect a law school graduate to have a bit more understanding of fundamental economics, particularly the part that says “you can’t redistribute what nobody’s got.”
Marxism always fails because it fails to acknowledge this basic fact of economics.
And how is Brown going to “bring back CA real estate,” whatever that means, when people are fleeing California and its confiscatory tax structure and oppressive development regulations that make it more economical to walk away from a bankrupt investment in California real estate and star over somewhere else?
Please enlighten us as to exactly how Brown will accomplish the quintessentially capitalistic task of “bringing back” the real estate market when he’s as Marxist as any politician short of Fidel can possibly be?
I’d really like to know.
