Re "State accelerates income tax collection 10 percent" : While there is no doubt that our current California government can't maintain a budget worth a burnt out light bulb, they are good at finding new and creative ways to stick the taxpayers with their inadequacies.

No, Hell NO!!!!
No more propositions for educations.
When this state quits spending hundreds of thousands on PR B.S., millions to local unions
and millions to special interests then and only yhen discuss more money.
I'm SO SICK AND TIRED of the same tired old sound bite
"it's for the children their future"....CRAP....
We just gave away 4 billion dollars on the last "for our children" and there has been no accounting on where that 4 billion went.
When a school wants a new roof get an estimate (ie.$ 40,000) give the school $40,000 if they need a little extra to finish fine, but finish that job.
But the current procedure is" we want $250,000 to fix our classes", what exactly need fixing? "I don't know lets hire a consultant at $10,000 an hour to tell us....CRAP AGAIN......
What's even a better scam is "we need $ 500,000,($200,000 for windows,$150,000 for new plumbing,$ 100,000 for a new floor in the auditorium, and $50,000 to paint the class rooms,total $500,000 right WRONG the school hires an accounting firm @$75,000 to make sure the money is spent except now the funds are short.
No problem let's just vote another proposition...
NO on AB 656

Aron, there are no greater barbarians in the history of mankind than the religious. Christianity in particular is the most blood soaked religion in history. The clergy has never in history been the guarantor of a nation's liberties, but have most frequently proven to be a convenient adjunct to tyranny, using the fear of divine retribution to help a dictator enforce their reign on a nation. Religions in general have cravenly opposed letters and science, shamefully keeping their people in a state of ignorance and timidity while the clergy enriches itself at the expense of the poor. We need none of this. We as a nation are perfectly capable of governing ourselves without resort to divine mysteries or so called miracles, nor do we need the narrow minde intolerance of religion to keep everyone in line. A just government derives it's powers through the consent of the governed, not through any religious affiliation. By the way, if we prove unable to govern ourselves through republican institutions, no amount of religion will make the situation better. Show us one religious government that is peaceful and properous, now or in all of history. You cannot.

Daily Horoscope for December 11

Leo

If you look closely, you'll see a black cloud hovering over a loved one's head. They'll find the smallest excuse for losing their temper or throwing a tantrum, so tiptoe around them or try to jolly them out of their filthy mood. If the situation continues you may decide that it would be better to get the inevitable argument out of the way than to pussyfoot around them any longer.
