Deluge of rain effects

What irritates me is these neighborhoods that have slid before, and slid even worse this time, and now the residents are demanding to be allowed to rebuild. Oh, and by the way, demanding that the cost of stabilizing the hill be absorbed by the state. That's when the dictator, er, governor uttered this gem. “In the last few days we have seen the power of nature to cause damage and despair. But we will match that power with our own resolve." Yes Arnold, we will match the power of nature. Whatever you say Arnold.

Sorry, but I ain't footing the bill for their stubborness, luxury, and obstinance.

If insurers refuse to insure, can the homeowners still rebuild? Gee, would Arnie still be so eager to throw public funds at this if it were occuring in Watts? Or El Segundo?

But you are willing to saddle our economy with an even bigger bureaucratic landslide, allow thugs in black the luxury of circumventing legislation from the bench and support a party that stubbornly burns taxpayers money to keep the unions warm...

I'm confused why your so angry at these property owners they finally have gotten with the program and started sucking from the government teat just like everyone else. Don't fault em for that hey their just getting with the program man...

luxury? I thought that was the point of the supreme court, you know part of the checks and balances put in place from the beginning.

Um, wow, way to change the subject. Yup, that's the way I do things, have one sweeping opinion that covers all things political.
