Orange Show Dating Advice

Its Memorial Day weekend! In the Inland Empire of Southern California it meas the Orange Show is on now. So the dreaded Orange Show Curse is on. Not just because of the rain, but also because any time you take a date there it is usually the last date you go on, if you are not married. I speak from experience, folks. I have taken 3 dates there and every time it was the last one. So if you have a budding relationship stay away. if you want to be "just friends"...ok.

Meg Whitman charges Steve Poizner in hit campaign pieces of spending too much money on new cars while serving as California's Insurance Comissioner. They even show his head bobbing out of Impala convertibles with big chrome wheels.



Her claim is true. However, my investigation has found he may have saved the state $9 million a year. How? By ordering a top to bottom review of the State Compensation Insurance Fund (SCIF), the states "public option" for workers compensation insurance. In response, SCIF is purging 1000 cars from it's fleet. This in accordance to a story in the Workers Comp Executive, an online trade journal for workers compensation managers published 5/10/2010. The move has met some opposition from the powerful SEIU, but most of the cars being eliminated were driven by managers and executives as personal perks, not cars used for field work.



It seems to me Steve Poizner has demonstrated an ability to save the state money on cars, but also face down a powerful government workers union. He or Meg will need this skill if they are to save California from financial meltdown.

Supreme Single Lady

President Barak Obama nomiated Elena Kagan to the Supreme Court. One of the issues is that she is 50 years old and has never been married. She is a single career woman. Does that matter to the job at hand? It shouldn't. David Souter is never married, and it didn't matter then. But then again our world has changed. There are more unmarried adults than married adults, due to divorces, deaths, living-together arrangements. Sex has been decoupled from marriage. We singles need advocates at high levels so that more "single friendly" policies can be made that can make the dream of all persons being equal more of a reality whatever your marital status is.
