Parlaying Public Assistance
Surely this story won't play well with the teabaggers. I'm sure all those poor people were just using their food stamp money to buy hot dogs at Whiskey Pete's.
Literacy in Protest
There's one thing you can count on at Left Wing political protests: Every last sign will be grammatically correct, with apostrophes in their proper places, all words spelled accurately and ironic slogans that are actually ironic.

"Right on the Edge"
CNN is airing Abbie Boudreau's report on young conservatives this weekend. Recall that she's the fetching investigative reporter that the nauseating fool James O'Keefe so ridiculously thought he could ensnare in a "sex tape" scandal.
What I found interesting was another segment in the feature, during which Boudreau profiled Christian Hartsock, a "young conservative" filmmaker and colleague of the smarmy James O'Keefe. In fact, Hartsock is currently producing a film on the exploits of James O'Keefe, including the bogus ACRON/prostitution scam and the ill-advised attempt to bug Senator Mary Landrieu's office. In it, O'Keefe dons his pimp costume again and embarks on a series of Michael Jackson like dance numbers.
The real takeaway from Hartsock's film is the location. The interiors all appear to take place in California Republican gubernatorial candidate Meg Whitman's offices. "Meg 2010" posters can clearly be seen in nearly every shot. Nice to know Meg Whitman is enabling these deluded 20-something scam artists by allowing them to use her office space to produce their bile. And yet another indication that Whitman surely does not have the concerns of all Californians at heart.

Cooked
The last cry of a defeated candidate:
"You should be ashamed for sacrificing Nicky Diaz on the altar of your political ambitions," Whitman told Brown.
No, you should be ashamed of yourself for cutting Nicky Diaz loose in her time of need. If this issue means so much to you, why didn't you turn her in? Sorry, Meg, your craven political hypocrisy could not have been more plainly displayed.
Save the rest of your millions. It's over for you.
Save the rest of your millions. It's over for you.

The list of hit shows he created reads like a What's What of '70s and '80s television...The Rockford Files, Baretta, The A-Team, Baa Baa Black Sheep, The Greatest American Hero, 21 Jump Street, Hardcastle and McCormick etc...etc...
And who can ever forget the famous "answering machine opening" to Rockford?

El Fin de Meg: Tiene dos Caras.
"Meg Whitman says she's a different kind of Republican…
But Pete Wilson is in charge of her campaign.
Whitman attacks undocumented workers to win votes, but an undocumented woman worked in her home for nine years.
She says she'll create jobs - but wants to eliminate forty-thousand state jobs, including teachers and nurses.
Whitman says one thing in Spanish --- and something different in English.
The real Meg Whitman has no shame.
She's a two-faced woman."
There is Such a Thing as Bad Publicity
This is definitely not the kind of headline you want to see if you are running for governor and the election is 32 days out.

Adventures in Public Service
Just finished talking with a guy who had a pronounced stutter and was trying to hold down two separate phone conversations at one time. At first I thought I was just waiting for him to get through a rough patch in a sentence, but then he said "Sorry. I'm t-t-talking to someone else on the other l-l-line."
ME: "How 'bout if we just have one conversation at a time?"
HIM: "What? I...didn't hear...you, I was t-t-talking to...someone else."
ME: "I said, how 'bout if we have one conversation at a time?"
HIM: "Okay. Hold on. [talks to other person for a minute or two.] Okay, I'm back... Oh wait...hold on."
ME: "You know I get paid by the hour by the taxpayers, right?"
HIM: "Yeah, about that. I want my t-t-taxes...lowered!!" [talks to person on other line.]
ME: "Maybe you should call back when you're not so busy."
HIM: "No, I'm...with you now."
ME: "You called me!!"
HIM: "I k-k-know. Sorry."
ME: "Okay, here's the deal with your taxes...."
Weird.

What it is ain't exactly clear. Sweet Jeezuz, days and days of "blazing sunshine" and unrelenting heat...now it's raining!
Put a Fork in Her
She's done.
California GOP gubernatorial candidate Meg Whitman told KNX radio in Los Angeles on Thursday that she suspects the handwriting on a letter regarding the Social Security number of her former housekeeper is her husband's
[...]
On Wednesday, Whitman had said "We never received that letter or that notification," and earlier on Thursday, she had suggested her former maid might have intercepted the letter because she handled the mail.
