FINALLY!

It's about time some importance and headline news was given to the massive number of deaths in Burma. All the attention is going to the earthquake in China which is devastating but tens of thousands of people are dying of disease and starvation in Burma because of the corrupt Burmese government which at first didn't allow any foreign aid after this catastrophe and when it did, the government stole the food and first aid supplies instead of giving them to their own people.

The U.S. shipped two huge planeloads of food over there but the Burmese officials immediately stole the food and put it in warehouses for use by their own military. None of it is going to the people who need it.

Laura Bush did try and call some attention to their desperate need over there after the cyclone hit but no one paid any attention. I think our own media gave it about a two day soundbite of coverage. I happened to have heard a longer report about it on talk radio so that's how I knew about how desperate it is over there.

Don't tell me there is nothing the U.S. can do about the way the Burma government is acting -- the government officials either refuse to accept the international aid that has been offered or, when they did, the Burmese government stole the supplies sent over. The U.S. can kick butt by telling the Burmese corrupt government officials we will cut off ALL future foreign aid to Burma if their government doesn't get out and start helping their own people.

Thousands are dying every day over there since this cyclone hit and all I hear about is the earthquake in China. China has plenty of money (ours) to put together rescue teams and supply aid for their own earthquake victims. Something needs to be done NOW to help the people of Burma. They are starving to death.

At first I could care less (about any of the three clowns running for prez but now I'd like to see Hillary go to the end with this one and not bow out.

John Edwards -- the one I wanted to win the primaries and voted for -- bowed out too early. So did John Kerry the day after the very questionable Ohio vote count was tabulated. He cowered and gave up.

I think Hillary should stay in until the end of the primaries. Right off the bat the pundits, the media, and the men of this country will say she gave in because she's a woman and wasn't willing or strong enough to fight hard enough for what she wanted therefore a woman should never be President and Commander in Chief.

I still think Obama has some "questionable" stuff that might be brought out and used against him at the end (at least that's what FOX news types keep hinting at) and then - aagggghhh -- we'd be stuck with McBush.

Stay in the race, Hillary.
If you lose this time you've got the rest of your life to put on your apron and bake those cookies. But you'll never get this chance again. Show people you don't knuckle under and wuss out when the going gets tough -- which is what they expect a woman to do. If I were her I'd never accept a VP position under Obama either. Obama is only some still UNVETTED junior senator so why should she take back seat to him.

Now that this primary slugfest is getting more interesting I'm watching how Hillary handles herself. If she bows out now the media and all the rest of the male population will just say "See, we told you, women don't have what it takes to stay in a tough situatin and fight until the end."

I can't believe I'm saying this but --

Don't give up just yet, Hillary. Take it to the mat.

Here is an article about the "underground economy" -- 40% of Los Angeles County.

Los Angeles' Underground Economy

And those lost of billions of dollars doesn't even begin to cover the costs of social services, incarceration, schooling, free medical care, etc. the state pays out for illegals.

California is now paying big time for those liberal "keep the borders wide open" Democrats and "cheap labor addicted" Republicans here in California and -- as U.S. citizens keep leaving this state by the tens of thousands as they have been -- and hundreds of thousands more illegals aliens (from everywhere, not just below the border) keep pouring in -- you are seeing California begin to sink into the ocean -- an ocean of debt.

You cannot expect any state to absorb millions of third world, non-educated, unskilled, high birth rate illegals by the millions into the state who contribute very little in taxes compared to the billions illegals cost this state ($9 billion last year alone) and then expect California to stay afloat.

That article barely touches on the huge costs to this state illegals cost LEGAL U.S. citizens. Gov. Arnie asked the feds for help because we pay most of the cost and Bush will do nothing to stop the flow of illegals bankrupting our state but Bush told Arnie his usual response -- F--k you.

What are all the illegals going to do when most of the tax paying LEGAL citizens have left this state -- and they are leaving in droves. Who will pay for all their medical care, schooling, Section 8 housing, food stamps, incarcertation costs and freebies then?

Will the last U.S. citizen to leave California please turn out the light?

There's nothing left in this state that California's politicians will not tax. The state is literally -- and I mean this -- in a monetary downfall and just short of bankruptcy. If you live here -- get out while the getting's good. Right now the desperate socialist politicians here are doing everything they can to chip away at California's Proposition 13 so they can raise homeowners' property tax to the sky.

Jobs have been lost in the defense plants, and California makes it very expensive to do business here. The only new jobs available are the ones done primarily by the illegal coming in this state by the tens of thousands and those are in the travel industry, hotels, restaurants, landscaping, and -- until the housing downfall -- construction.

The politicians (during the boom times) promised - in exchange for votes -- unreal amounts in pensions and perks to city and county workers. Add to that the fact that more than 1/4th of the nation's estimated 25 million illegal aliens reside in California alone -- and most of them work "off the books" (40% work off the books in Los Angeles County alone) -- sending their "untaxed" money back to their home countries. Yet illegals cost this state a lot of money in social services, incarceration costs, housng, schooling, you name it. Add the $9 billion it cost my state last year for illegal aliens on to the the subprime housing debacle and you can start to get a picture of what's happening. California is a state of socialist Democrat politicians. (I'm not talking regular Democrats here, I'm talking hard core socialist Democrats -- there's a difference.) They hold the majority of power and they along with Governor Arnie have put my once wonderful state on the verge of bankruptcy.

You are seeing the third-worldizing of California.
Your state is next.
