Talk on a California Car Cell Phone – Go To Prison But OK to Text Message
Beginning July 1 in California it is illegal to place a cell phone to your ear while driving a car. However, a loophole in the law allows the driver to text message while driving.The new law when passed would make texting illegal in January 2009.
How do you spell cock up?

The Barack Obama Bounce
Barack Obama is enjoying a bounce in the polls but Flap feels the election slip slidding away from John McCain.An example, with domestic offshore oil drilling much in the public discussion, Team McCain schedules an environmental conference in Santa Barbara, California next Tuesday. Granted McCain is traveling to California to fundraise but he has NO chance of winning “blue” California and where would a Presidential candidate NOT want to talk about offshore oil drilling?
Yeah, you guessed it – Santa Barbara where they had a massive oil spill in 1969 and ugly decades old oil rigs mar the scenic coastline.
McCain better shape up his campaign or he will be blown out early by Obama.

Audra Strickland Watch: Chief of Staff Joel Angeles Placed on Leave

Joel Angeles, Chief of Staff for California GOP Assemblywoman Audra Strickland has been placed on a one-month unpaid administrative leave according to a written statement.Assemblywoman Audra Strickland placed a top aide on leave Thursday following his involvement earlier this week in altercations during a demonstration outside a fundraiser for her husband, state Senate candidate Tony Strickland.
Audra Strickland, R-Moorpark, announced she was placing Joel Angeles, her chief of staff, on “a one-month leave of absence without pay for what I view as a show of poor judgment,” according to a written statement issued by her office.
On Tuesday, Angeles took the day off from his job as her chief of staff job to join her husband’s campaign supporters outside the Hyatt Westlake Plaza hotel in Thousand Oaks. Former presidential candidate Mitt Romney appeared there Tuesday night to stump for Tony Strickland, who is locked in a critical battle for the 19th District Senate seat.
Flap was there and wrote this post after the altercation/protests and the fundraising event for Assemblywoman Audra Strickland’s husband, Tony.
The entire Flap was and continues to be a “He Said, They Said” argument. Flap did not see the supposed “smack down” but did interview one of the female alleged victims. She did have scratches on her right arm which she said she received by being pushed into an adjoining hedge.
But, the hedge had sharp prongs, the sidewalk was filled with people and Flap was easily pushed into it and scratched his own arm.
Ventura County Sheriff officers interviewed all parties and since none of the parties would pursue prosecution or a citizen’s arrest, no arrests were made.

Both groups used poor judgment in this altercation. But what is clear is that someone was looking for a fight to embarass Tony Strickland who was inside with Mitt Romney raising money for his California State Senate campaign. Wasn’t that the point of the demonstrations?
How do you spell set-up?
Joel Angeles used “poor judgment” being involved with the Democrat protesters – at all. He should have walked away. Angeles is now being punished.
A lesson for everyone: Let the politicians “DUKE IT OUT” in debates on the issues and leave the physical confrontations out of the campaign.

Day By Day by Chris Muir June 20, 2008
But….Barack Obama is the post-racial candidate for President.
Right?
Obama won the Democrat nomination by targeting African American voters in “Red” states and winning early caucuses where the Democrat’s have little chances of winning in the fall. Who is anyone kidding.
After Flap finished the Revlon Cancer Walk in Los Angeles some weeks ago, Obama organizers, clip boards in hand, targeted African Americans and asked them to register to vote – ONLY African Americans. One has to wonder about Obama’s post-racial nonsense.
Plus Ca Change…….
