It seems I have a brand new reason to hate that state every month (no offense, California brothers!!)
I don't think anyone is offended by that statement. This state is beyond salvageable right now....

And no offense taken! I hate the political scene here.

I wonder how they tested other hybrids like the Prius. Did they make sure to run down its battery so that everything would be gas powered?

When you have a LOT, you have a LOT to lose... and we're getting hit hard.

The people up top just don't get it, and not just in California.

These people are, for the most part, out of sight and out of mind... and they forget that they work for us.

All summer long we're told to "conserve electricity" - like we're gonna run out... THEN the government is pushing environmentally friendly transportation - and plug-in hybrids. If we all plugged in our cars at night, the power grid would be SCREWED in the summertime. I would predict widespread fires and darkness.

They act as if California's industrial emissions were lowered to 0%, that "global warming" would end. (NEVERMIND THE FACT THAT WE HAD A VERY LONG, WET, COLD WINTER... AND A SUMMER SO COOL THAT IT CAUSED CROPS NOT TO MATURE UNTIL LATE SUMMER)

What happened to the bird flu?

What happened to the swine flu?

What about these mortgages that flopped?

Nevermind the fact that more than 75% of people are STILL employed...

So why have we all suffered?

Because everyone is suckered into believing all the BS that they see on TV. Whenever you hear someone make an excuse not to spend money by saying "Well with the economy the way it is today..." - go ahead and tell them to SUCK IT, because the best time to buy is when there is blood in the streets.

I'll tell you something else... with all these people who got laid off in California in the past couple years... the freeways are still as packed as they ever were.

Wanna know why gasoline is still so expensive even though "DEMAND" is low from people not having to drive to work?

Oh... they're switching to the "Winter Blend" - HA-HA!

I'm looking for a more solid gig that I've got right now... and I really hope that I'm hired by one of these local refineries so I can get me a big sticky sweet of this money pie!!!

Don't get suckered by the media.

Don't believe the "polls" that are supposed to "predict" the outcome of this mid-term election.

We have the power to make this all better... or at least, prevent it from getting worse...
