“Petition Packin’ Trany, Lay that Petition Down”

The transvestite that is fulfilling KFI’s John and Ken’s commercial ratings driven wish to recall solid conservative Assemblyman Jeff Miller is apparently breaking the law. No, not a law about transvestitism; rather, he/she/it appears to be violating (perhaps among other violations of life’s more fundamental laws) the California Elections Code.

You see, we learned yesterday from a post byAdam Probolsky that John and Ken’s trany*, according to the most recent data available from the County Registrar of Voters, is not registered to vote in Miller’s 71st Assembly District. Adam alluded to a potential violation of law by the tranyproponent of the Miller recall as a result ofa failure to be a registered voter in the specific district where the recall petition is being circulated. I’ll fill in the gap: Section 11005 of the Elections Codestates very simply: The proponents of a recall must be registered voters of the electoral jurisdiction of the officer they seek to recall. Therefore, according to the latest data from theRegistrar, Blaine Jenks would be illegally collecting signatures for… Read More

The Face of the Miller Recall

Well, the human face of the purported recall of Assemblyman Jeff Miller has finally been revealed to the public. It’s an interesting young man, accented not only by a bare-shouldered party dress, but also complete with carefully applied lipstick, mascara and eye liner. That all of these quality accessories and cosmetics are adorning the face of a man may strike some as unusual, but no matter your views on people who dress in drag, all of this only contributes to the further absurdity of a shameful farce.

Blaine Jenks is 22 years old, a recent graduate of Orange County’s Vanguard University and still lists his mother’s home as his address. But rather than inquiring if he/she should move out of mom’s place, let’s focus on the actual address for a moment. Blaine’s voter registration card still lists his mom’s Placentia address as his home. And for those outside of Orange County, Placentia is well outside the lines of the 71st Assembly District.… Read More

LOSERS OF THE MAY 19 SPECIAL ELECTION

Welcome to the second part of our two-part feature on the FlashReport “Winners & Losers of the May 19 Special Election.” Yesterday we presented the winners. Today we introduce to you the losers – those people or groups who, from our perspective, suffered in their stature, standing and reputation as a result of the outcome of Tuesday’s vote. It’s always more challenging to call out losers than winners, and occasionally (but not usually) someone takes it personally. We understand if you do — but to you we’d say, suck it up. This whole stupid special election didn’t need to happen, but it did, and you tried to raise my taxes, andRead More

Why Did The Terminator’s Tax Increase Plan Get Terminated?

I wrote this column for The Fox Forum on why Props. 1A through 1E went down to ignominious defeat:

California voters have overwhelmingly rejected the 5 “budget reform” propositions cobbled together by Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger and the Democratic legislature, rejecting them by 30-point margins. Even in leftist bastion of San Francisco, these tax-and-borrow initiatives are going down.

The focus of voter ire was Proposition 1A, a soft-spending cap that also extended a massive, two-year tax hike for an additional two years. The tax extension was a partly successful bid to buy public employee union support.

The “Yes” and 1A-1E campaign possessed all the conventional advantages of winning a statewide initiative campaign: favorable ballot descriptions written by the legislature rather than, as is customary, by the Secretary of State; the support of nearly the entire ruling class from the governorRead More
