As always, someone or two are on my flights to or from Sacramento. On my flight home with me are CRP Treasurer Keith Carlson and former LA Times Reporter turned OC government bureaucrat Jean Pasco. I'll be spending my time talking to Jean!… Read More
As I write this, nearly a hundred Republican activists have been evacuated from the Sacramento GOP Heaquarters on Madison. Apparently a strange, unknown man came into the HQ with a box, and left the package and split. The police are on the scene and the bomb squad is rolling… Good grief!… Read More

If it wasn’t so alarmingly serious, the web site would almost seem like a stereotypical satire on the inner city. Take the message that greets web site visitors (along with the… Read More
