FreeEnterprise.com has an interesting article about France’s economy and in reading it you get the feeling you’re reading about California.
For instance,
France has this curious fact about its economy: “The country has 2.4 times as many companies with 49 employees as with 50.”
Now if you’re a business owner in California you right off know WHY this is happening. But if you’re a California politician you have absolutely no idea why they stop at 49, but you’re willing to outlaw it.
Enjoy the article.
Sierra Club says YES to higher heating/electricity costs (5/13/12, not in CCTimes)

Those pigs at the racist Sierra Club have declared war on natural gas. Not content to have driven the cost of gasoline over $4 a gallon, they now want to drive up the cost of natural gas, used especially in California to heat homes and generate electricity.
“As we push to retire coal plants, we’re going to work to make sure we’re not simultaneously switching to natural-gas infrastructure,” Sierra Club Executive Director Michael Brune told National Journal in an interview on Wednesday.
Brune declared that his organization’s mission is about “preventing new gas plants from being built wherever we can.”
Of course they have no substitute plan that doesn’t involve a mythical “clean” energy alternative. We wonder how it is that Sierra Club members get around if they’re so opposed to “fossil fuels.” We suspect a great deal of hypocrisy in play, which of course the liberal Contra Costa Times will NEVER call them out on.

It is a sad state of affairs when we have to resort to a foreign TV show to see how mundane, unimaginative and plain embarrassing our current president is.
Of course you won’t see this in the liberal Contra Costa Times.
Enjoy.

In what we here at CCTimesWatch believe to be a first, this story opens by explaining the effect of an upcoming proposition on Californian electricity users. We are very excited about this.
A proposed state ballot initiative would force California’s two nuclear power plants to shut down, causing electricity rates to jump and possibly resulting in rolling blackouts, according to a nonpartisan analysis.
Amazing. A journalist, who’s name was not published, who actually understands cause and effect.
We look forward to more stories taking into account the effect on the average Californian of political rules and taxes rather than the usual “doom and gloom for the poor and underprivileged” approach that apparently is taught in J-school.
10-year sentence for Blagojevich fundraiser (11/23/2011, page A8)

This is a shameful coverup by the Contra Costa Times.
Tony Rezko helped raise over $250,000 for various Obama campaigns, as well as helping the Obamas purchase their home in the Chicago area through a suspicious land deal. That the CCTimes would NOT use Obama in the headline shows the depths of bias at that newspaper.
For those of you at the CCTimes, if Rezko were a Bush fundraiser would you have put Perry’s name in the headline? Of course not, so why did you do it here?
These is the type slanted writing that undermines the credibility of the press and leads conservatives to cancel their subscriptions. Good luck making it to the year 2020.
Obama high gas prices vs. Bush high gas prices (11/20/2011, not in CCTimes)

When President Obama took office gasoline was $1.87 a gallon. It has doubled and Democrats are not whining like they were when President Bush had gas prices over $3. Why? Watch and learn:
