California: Coincidence or revenge? Jobs story embarrasses Davis, bites publisher
SF Chronicle ^ | July 8, 2002

Seven months after ordering a statewide hiring freeze, the last thing Gov. Gray Davis needed was a headline saying, "State Government Employment Reaches Record Level of 234,505 Employees."

But that's just the headline Davis got from the Capitol Weekly -- a little (10,000 subscribers) paper that caters mostly to state employees looking for new job opportunities.

Every vote counts. This is bound to turn few against him.

CAPTAIN QUEEG PING

I'll see your Captain Queeg and raise you a crime boss.
But I'm still trying to determine if Al Capone, Joseph Bonanno (sp?) or the mythical
Don Corleone could do justice to the legacy that Red Davis is building.

Got to give the guy credit for publishing his bulletin with the little blurb where
the job adverts would have been...if he hadn't muszzled himself.

Thanks for the Ping! On another subject.....Part of PCH (Los Angeles) has been renamed "Vietnam Veteran's Memorial Highway". I would like to see the rest of it follow suit. We need a grassroots effort to bring this effort forward. What do you think?

Gray Davis couldn't manage a burger king. The idiot has bankrupted the state and still thinks we should all hold our noses and re-elect him. He acts very immature when anyone crosses him, he seems to have little Napolean syndrome.

I Can't wait to hear his consession speech this November. I wonder who he'll blame for his defeat, because in his liberal mind full of mush it couldn't be the result of his coruption, malfeasance and mismanagement, it has to be the fault of the right-wing.

That's right. We have had several discussions of that on various threads and that even generated bumper stickers. The target of the stickers are those followers of the environmentalist who would never vote for a Republican but might vote for a Green candidate.

Oh thanks for reminding me!

We may see Davis in his Captain Queeg mode with the Recall effort that is just getting under way!

"State Government Employment Reaches Record Level of 234,505 Employees."

May as well made it an even half million, big government workers.
