Let's Buy Meg Whitman an Island!











Hey Meg and Steve . . . Why spend $72,000,000 of your own money to try to be President of California When for just $3,000,000 (nothing to you) more you can buy a whole Island!

Yes, yes, Yes.  How about Caye Chapel?

I found it on the web site:http://www.caribbeanislandbrokers.com/Caye-Chapel/

This really looks like it can be a winner for the two of you. You can rule with ease, play golf, enjoy 11 marina view condos and a whole 18 hole golf course.

Just 12 miles from Belize you can quickly stock up, travel and yes they speak English. No hablar espanol ober der. All the Mexicans you hate will be no where in sight. Well except maybe the ones watching your grandchildren and doing your laundry.

This is no small island either. 2.5 Miles long. Long enough for a whole tea bagger march before they get tired.

I say go for it! Drill baby drill. Put a desalination plant, nuclear plant, chemical plant and a whole viagra factory!

So I end this with a simple and understandable question for Steve Poizner and Meg Whitman: Why buy the California Governor's Election with all our issues (many) when you can be king and queen of your own Island? Hell You are just $3,000,000 short. Just sell more crap on ebay and you will be good to go!

A SOL STRATEGIC COMMUNICATIONS ESSAY

By Mark Gomez
It is not surprising political activists and analysts on our side of the fence seem to be having difficulty comprehending the Obama campaign.  Folks on the Left hear the Junior Senator from their Liberal perspective – the problem is, that once powerful vision has long since past into the dark cold night.  

In word and deed, Obama is leading us towards a new day.  He is articulating a new political language - he is creating a new vision.  And the Senator is not alone.  His words have been on the tip of many tongues, for many years – though Barack is a bit more eloquent and charming than most of us!

In the “What’s the Matter with Liberals?” author Thomas Frank zeros in on the 2004 presidential election and the state of the Democratic Party in relation to winning over the working families.  Taking pages out of his book, “What’s the Matter with Kansas,” Frank describes his view that solidly working class, regular joes are voting Republican (in Kansas and in general) and against liberals as a “class-based backlash against the perceived arrogance of liberalism.” Frank works to explain this phenomenon to only be possible by the loss of a truly working class agenda by the Democratic Party in exchange for fundraising prowess.

BOOK REVIEW: Who's Falling Behind?

By Mark Gomez


It was the 1980’s, the beginning of the Reagan Revolution.  I was attending the University of Chicago, the center of the Conservative Free Market revolt.  My upper-class classmates, intoxicated by the new era were always sure to remind they were ‘my betters’.   

I defiantly walked around campus under-dressed in worn jeans and a white undershirt.  And for good measure I carried R.H. Tawney’s short volume “Inequality”.  It comforted me to know, that a distinguished English gentlemen, albeit decades previous, could appreciate my more modest up-bringing.
