For Californians Only: Jill Stewart basically vanished like a stone tossed into a lake, she of the wolf like attacks on CA government. Well she's back and she's HERE. Bookmark her because she is dam good, or at least was dam good. Who knows if life on the bottom of the lake has rotted her teeth. She sums up CA politics perfectly

The result is an extreme over-preponderance of white, Christian, ultra-conservative men among the Republican legislative leaders, and an extreme over-preponderance of urban ultra-leftist ethnic and gender warriors among the Democratic leaders.

Absolutely dead on. She also zeros in on the pathetic Blacks vs the rest of the population, something that I think is destroying the national Democratic Party

Nor do our legislators care that aside from the singular behavior of black voters---who vote together as a racial monolith in local and statewide elections---Californians do not vote in rigid racial or ideological blocs. We saw that as more California Latinos opted this time for George W. Bush than did in 2000.

Her view of Sacktown:

Sacramento is worse than a gang-ridden school cafeteria.

Like I said, she is good. REAL GOOD.
