Meg Whitman for Governor

Until I heard this interview, I didn't have strong feelings on Meg Whitman's run for California Governor. I feel that anyone who wants to tackle the horrific mess that is CA's budget and school system deserves admiration.

Her top 3 priorities make sense:

• Create and keep jobs in California
• Get government spending under control
• Fix our K-12 education system

However, if Whitman believes that suspending California's climate change bill AB32 is going to bring down unemployment in a meaningful way, she is clearly delusional.

Her new book is here.

Quit your job, enjoy Earth while it lasts

According to a new study, developed nations need to halt economic growth to even try to stay within a liveable temperature range.

That's fine with me; I am dying to quit my job anyway! I will play my iPod via a bicycle-powered generator while snacking on some home-grown tree bark. See you there!

A big thumbs-down
