And yes, I mean that sarcastically.

http://carlyfailorina.com/ (paid for by the California Democratic Party).  What more is there to say?

Don't get me wrong, I'm no fan of Carly Fiorina, who to all practical purposes single-handedly destroyed Hewlett-Packard (with only minimal assistance from her interim predecessor Richard Hackborn, whom you've probably never heard of).  But this is a new low in pettiness in politics.  What's the next step?  Will the parties start publicly calling each other's candidates poopyheads?  Will the candidates themselves start flicking boogers at their opponents in televised debates?

Dear Democratic and Republican Parties:

Please to hurry up and finish self-destructing, so that the rest of us can pick up the pieces and get on with America.  KTHXBAI.

California has been caught up in the collapse of two bubbles, and then the Republican minority decided to hold its breath and stamp its feet until its policies were implemented--extensions of the policies that got the state into trouble in the first place. &, thanks to bad initiatives, the Democratic majority can't do a damn thing about it. As of last July, their bonds were rated Baa1 by Moody's--lowest of any state and two levels above junk bonds. California laid off 26,590 teachers last year.
