John and Ken’s Failed Fatwah Against Jeff Miller

“So, Jeff Miller of Orange has the fatwa issued against him.“

Assemblyman Jeff Miller, whose gerrymandered district includes parts of Orange County, has been targeted for recall by heads-on-a-stick radio shock jocks, Ken Dumb and John Dumber.

We were delighted to see them launch this campaign, because it’s going to show how impotent they really are. Just as Rush Limbaugh is now the default leader of the national Republican party, these drive-time blowhards are the true spokesmen for the California Republicans.

Here’s their plan as it unfolds:

1.) Hold a live drawing on-air to choose a human sacrifice.

2.) Issue a fatwah!

3.) Call for a taxpayer revolt to rise up against Jeff Miller.

4.) ……….

5.) Crickets

Their egos were inflated when their ranting fueled the taxpayer revolt against the car tax, the recall of Gray Davis and the election of the Governator.

While they gave these campaigns massive free publicity, the heavy lifting, signature-gathering, and election were all funded with huge expenditures by millionaires like Darrell Issa and other skippers from the Yacht Party.

Without the big money and their hired guns, this  effort is rapidly becoming a sad little joke, nothing more than a website, forum, and Facebook group.

The Jeff Miller Recall attempt will show that these savages, who have adopted the language of Muslim extremists, are just as out-of-touch and irrelevant as Limbaugh.

And just when you think there’s nothing happening, you can do a little research and find this event promoted on the internet, part of the new Republican sophistication in using technology to communicate.

On Saturday, March 7th, there will be a massive anti-tax rally at the Slide Bar Cafe in Fullerton held by KFI AM 640’s “shock jock jihadists” John and Ken. We are protesting the recent passage of the largest single tax increase in any state in the 232 1/2 year saga of these fruited plains by the Effeminator formerly known as the Governator formerly known as the Terminator formerly known as a steroid-injecting, pot-smoking, tittie-groping, knuckle-dragging “forehead”. Are you going to let this thick-skulled Austrialopithecus run you and your loved ones out of the greatest state in the greatest nation in the history of mankind? HELL NO! Neither will we suffer the continued tyranny of his cronies – especially those in the Republican Party – who either voted for or were complicit in this steaming horse turd of a budget.

This is only the first of many.

ARE YOU READY FOR THE REVOLUTION?

P.S. Homeless and illegal alien riff-raff welcome.

Budget

Mimi Walters and Tom Harman “Release Pedophiles, Fire Teachers, Sell the County Fairgrounds”

That’s the Senate Republican budget plan, or as much of it as you can deduce.

It’s certainly cloaked in different language, talking about reform, common sense solutions, economic stimulus and their “no new taxes” pledge, but read through the Senate Republican Caucus plan, and tell me where they will cut spending without massive reductions in education and prisons.

Walters and Harman are craven liars who won’t admit that state spending, adjusted for inflation and population, has been flat for the last ten years, while Republicans have voted to eliminate over seven billion dollars a year in revenue.

Of course they’re still talking about finding waste in government and eliminating it, but frankly, Tom Harman and Arnold Schwarzenegger have been singing this song almost as long as OJ has been looking for the real killer.

At Orange County Progressive, we’re all in favor of cutting waste, balancing budgets, and efficiency in government contracting. But here’s what’s on the front page of their caucus website as we blog,

“No one would disagree that California’s economy is struggling and this state is clearly in a recession. As California searches for effective ways to close a projected $42 billion deficit over the next 18 months, several proposals have been put on the table. One proposal is to cut the number of paid holidays, or 1 holiday plus a personal day, given to state employees. Cutting 2 holidays would reduce the number from 13 to 11.

“Keep in mind most employees in the private workforce get six paid federal holidays.

“The proposal would combine Lincoln’s and Washington’s birthdays into one paid holiday in February and eliminate Columbus Day. That proposal would save the state an estimated $75 million a year.

State employees have been at the bargaining table with the governor, and have already agreed to a twelve day a year furlough. They understand the gravity of the problem, and are at the table.

But Harman, Walters are clueless. In Harman’s case, it’s an aging Faux RINO who is looking for a gubmint pension, and scared shitless of the “heads-on-a-stick” crowd. Mimi, well, her kids are in private school. She may be dumb enough to believe this tripe.

And when they talk about the five billion in surplus properties, here’s part of what was identified.

The state owns 190 acres in the City of Costa Mesa, located in Orange County. The land is used to hold the annual Orange County Fair, a summertime agricultural fair. Preliminary discussions with local brokers and appraisers active in the Orange County area indicate that its highest and best use would be for housing. They estimate the property would be worth $27-$30/per square foot, or about $230 million, if it were properly zoned, approved for development, and clear of all hazardous materials and existing improvements. [14] If the land were developed to accommodate four to six single family detached homes per acre, it would allow about 1,000 homes to be built. Higher densities of more than four to six housing units per acre along with other development including retail, apartments and office space, for example, are possible with the cooperation of local government in the zoning and development process.
