Democrats are proving that they're almost as capable as Republicans in blowing opportunities

Clarice Feldman: "The Party’s Over".

Haw! Check out Gavin Newsom's new initiative:

Of course, in arguing that the Democrats are in something of a death spiral, I may have overlooked the genius of California’s governor. You’ve heard of the Roman plan to keep the populace on your side -- give them bread and circuses. Gavin’s shrewd plan is to give them disposable diapers.

He plans to spend $20 million in taxpayer dollars to give 400 diapers to each of the 100,000 families with newborns. Math is always very hard for Democrats. The state will be paying 8-10 times more by giving out diapers instead of giving people cash to buy the diapers themselves.

There are a lot of good people in California who are just plain sick of this sort of thing. The problem is that the majority seem to be genuine masochists. In spite of everything, however, I can't get rid of the feeling that, even in California, things are going to be changing for the better eventually, and possibly even before I shuffle off this mortal coil.
