I was born in L.A. long after George Putnam had got his start, but he was still on T.V. broadcasting usually conservative opinion as I was a young man. He later went to back radio. To his credit he was on e of the first I heard talk about the impact of illegal immigration. TodayGeorge Putnampassed.

He was pioneer in the field and an L.A. Legend. Over 70 years in the entertainment/new biz. R.I.P.

Here is County Supervisor Mike Antonovich’s view on the patriot Putnam.

From today’s Wall Street Journal Political Diary:

The Sun King

Congressman Dana Rohrabacher, a California Republican, thinks he has a partial solution to America’s dependence on high-priced foreign oil. But he says liberals and environmentalists are rejecting it.

Mr. Rohrabacher — who notes 130 pending applications for solar power projects on federal land administered by the Bureau of Land Management — has introduced a bill to allow the building of such plants without environmental-impact studies. He tells me that though the BLM has lifted a moratorium on new solar projects on public land that it imposed in 2005, applications are still being clogged up in a bureaucratic pipeline and no new permits have been issued to date.

Charlie Gibson interviewed Alaska Governor Sarah Palin for ABC’s Nightline. I found it to be an interesting exchange, and worthy of sharing. You can see it here. Since she can pronounce "Ahmadinejad" — she’s certainly more qualified than me to serve in the White House…… Read More

Democrat Cathleen Galgiani just announced that she would support Arnold Schwarzenegger’s proposed multi-billion dollar tax increase that is included in what we here at the FlashReport call his "Capitulation Budget" — but I am happy to report that the State GOP has blasted Galgiani for breaking her promise to voters not to support tax increases!

Is There A Tax Increase Cathleen Galgiani Won’t Support? Central Valley Democrat BreaksCampaign Promise…AGAIN

Just weeks after breaking her campaign promise to never vote for a tax increase, Assemblywoman Cathleen Galgiani (D-… Read More

California’s 10th Assembly District was one of the top three Republican ‘defense’ seats during the 2002 legislative elections. But, after handily carrying the district, incumbent Alan Nakanishi has had little problem holding the seat in subsequent elections.

That is all likely to change this year. The Democrats have moved the 10th Assembly District near the top of their wish-list, and for good reason. First, the seat is open, which always makes for a more interesting contest. Second, a once six-point Republican partisan voter registration advantage has shrunk to just two points.

The 10th District is located in the San Joaquin Valley, split over four counties — El Dorado, Amador, Sacramento and San Joaquin. Compounding matters for Republican strategists, not only was there a pretty brutal GOP primary contest back in June, but this seat… Read More

Since the convention ended I’ve had probably 40 calls for McCain Palin gear. So I went to www.ShopMcCain.com and got some stuff for Yolo County. It came right away.

They sent me enough McCain/Palin bumper stickers for anyone in Yolo County that is willing to put one on their car.

My constituents are e-mailing me and I am sending out the stuff.

McCain/Palin may not win the People’s Republic of Davis but we should do the right thing in Woodland.… Read More
