"Orange County officials decry hateful graffiti, threats to kill Jerry Brown. Orange County officials are decrying a string of hateful graffiti, including some that threatened to kill Gov. Jerry Brown on Valentine's Day. 'Every community experiences some form of graffiti," said Anaheim Police Sgt. Rick Martinez, "but to see hateful messages like this is rare, especially when you're dealing with the message of killing added to religion, ethnicities and now aimed at a politician.' 'It's more than just a little graffiti,' said Rusty Kennedy, executive director of the Orange County Human Relations Committee. 'This is graffiti that has the intent of terrifying and scaring a specific group of people. ... It's being targeted at people in an effort to pick them out and bully them.' In addition to the Jerry Brown graffiti, Orange County cities have seen a spate of graffiti calling on people to kill Catholics, blacks, Asians and Latinos in recent weeks."

"Xenophobia will continue to increase. Muslims and Mexicans will continue to be the easy targets. Which group or culture is next?"

It sure didn't take long for Jerry Brown to get handed the California "hot potato". Talk about being handed a "bag of goods". Like I said about the last presidential election, I don't know why anybody would want that job.

Election Day Thoughts
This might be the most interesting election since 2008. It will be the most interesting mid-term election in some time. The mob will ascend on the voting booths in record numbers I think. I voted early last week to avoid the frenzy. As I stood in front of the voting machine I thought, "do I just vote Libertarian with one quick click or click it one by one?". I still claim to not belong to any party, but my presidential vote for Ron Paul in 2008 still looks like the best one. So I kept my direction consistent.
As I predicted for 2008, "change" will be the main theme. Not the "change" that political posters speak to, but change of the people in power. The mob is angrier than ever so they'll try to throw out as many incumbents as possible. The Tea Party is still just a light version of what is to come. It's almost comical at this stage. The funny part is that the Republicans will "pound their chest" in victory only to be ousted the next time. It will be a viscious cycle for some time.
Doesn't the fact below indicate that something is seriously wrong with our system? $140 million?? Just think what some charities could do with $140 million?
"Republican Meg Whitman has spent more than $140 million so far on her campaign for California governor, nearly $40 million of it during the last three months, she reported Tuesday. The amount the billionaire former eBay chief executive has spent on advertising and political consultants, most of it from her personal fortune, stands in sharp contrast to Democratic gubernatorial candidate Jerry Brown, who reported Tuesday that he has spent $10.7 million this year, nearly all of it since Labor Day."
