Talking about recall. I think the voters of San Francisco should recall each supervisor who didn't vote for Care not Cash, Proposition N.

Over 60% of the voters in San Francisco voted for it. Getting that kind of voting majority in any issue, yes or no, in San Francisco politics is next to impossible, talk about waiting till hell freezes over.

And now it gets voted down by our neighbourhood board of supervisors. Recall those idiots!

The only upside to this issue is hopefully it will guarantee the election of Gavin Newsome as mayor of San Francisco. We may have lost this battle, but WE WILL WIN THE WAR!

The radio talkshows I listen to in the SF Bay Area are going nuts over Wesley Clark. Everyone seems to love him, although everyone does caution their enthusiasm saying that he has problems.

One talkshow host said that Clark is short-tempered and doesn't suffer fools. Hmmmm... maybe the government needs some of this though. He'd be just like Rumsy, and I adore Donald Rumsfeld!

Thanks to Daniel at The Wall of Sleep, here's Wesley Clark's bio - General Wesley K. Clark, US Army.

The guy definitely fastracked his way to the top. All I can is interesting. Maybe we'll see a "I'm just like Ike" campaign strategy developing.

The man definitely knows his war stuff, and his insightful comments on the war on Iraq were fantastic.

But there are two issues at stake here:

1) America's military commitment in foreign countries which includes Iraq, Afghanistan and everywhere else.

2) The economy. The LA Times has a great article here on our countrie's looming government fiscal crisis, Federal Budget Disaster Seen, but Won't Be Heard.

The Shrub nation has decided to just sit and do nothing, and wait for the company to heat up to create more jobs thereby increasing revenue not only for the states but for the federal government as well.

It's not just that the US is spending a lot of money, which we are, it's also that the tax revenue for both the federal and state governments have gone down dramatically.

If the economy heats back up, then some but not all of the deficits at both the federal and state level will go down, which is always a good thing. The federal deficit can then be pared down by judicious cutting of extra spending and not the badly needed programs that truly help those who cannot take care of themselves.

Here's a thought. If illegal immigrants want all these rights like driver's licenses, wage protection, etc, which all cost the state and federal governments money, then illegal immigrants should pay taxes to help fund their "so called rights".

You want to use the federal and state services, then you need to pay for them. The US is not a welfare state for its own people, so why should it be one for illegal immigrants?

Interesting. Wesley Clark in the race for the presidential democratic nomination. I loved watching him during the CNN coverage of the war on Iraq.

In fact, I remember watching him and Aaron Brown when CNN first ran live coverage of the war. The both of them couldn't believe it, and sat there with their mouths hanging open in disbelief that they were watching the war in Iraq happen in real time.

I'm not sure Clark is qualifed for the presidency, as far as domestic policies are concerned but he'd be good for these war times.

I sound like the James Caan character in "The Godfather" movies. "I need a war time conciglieri!"
