SEXUAL PREDATOR UNION?
I have been scouring the Secretary of State’s website this morning for the CAPS – California Association of Sexual Predators.  You see, the State Assembly Public Safety Committee Democrat majority is showing the kind of lock-step solidarity to opposing Jessica’s Law (GPS tracking of sex offenders, as was as other needed reforms) that is typically shown on bread-and-butter labor issues.  Since everyone knows it is the labor unions that keep the Democrats in line, well, doesn’t it make sense that there must be a union for sexual predators?   There are several articles on the main page — and a ‘must read’ column from Karen Hanretty on the Democrat Chairman of the Public Safety Committee – San Francisco’s Mark Leno.
 
BILL THOMAS: KING OF PORK MAKES..SAUSAGE
Representative Bill Thomas of Bakersfield, otherwise known as the "King of Pork" as he lords over a massive increase in federal spending as the Chairman of the House’s chief spending body – the Ways & Means Committee, has some sort of negative PR campaign being waged against him in Bakersfield, on TV and in mailboxes, by some group that is mad because of some specific rules concerning oxygen for medically ill seniors.
 
Thomas should get used to negative attacks now.  It really isn’t going to take long before the focus of blame on this Medicare Measure D Prescription "debacle" is going to explode in his face.  At a time when Republicans should be shrinking government, Thomas championed this massive entitlement expansion.  But worse yet, Thomas became the "King of Sausage" on this one – and rather than embracing a truly market-oriented approach to the drug entitlement plan (for example, providing senior with a credit to be used on whichever drugs they want) he brought everyone to the table and seems to have come up with a plan that is really terrible.
