FTA: Time magazine is channeling the thoughts of the Obama administration. Cornered, in denial, and raving. The thought processes on display can only charitably be described as delusional. We need some sanity now that Putin is acting up, but Captain Queeg has taken the wheel. The Democratic Party leaders had better talk to him and steady him down, or the world ain't seen nothing yet.So who´s calling the shots? The Sierra Club? If so, our problems are just beginning. May the next three years pass quickly, mercifully. And if Her Thighness is at the end of the political rainbow, we cannot imagine how ugly the world is going to get. The Democrats need to dry up and blow away, for the good of humanity.

We have been assured by the MSM for at least 6 years now that Dear Leader Barack Hussein is both omniscient and all-wise, and that we are blessed that He hath deigned to walk amongst us. So when He whistles past graveyards it can only be an exquisite expression of His supreme wisdom and vision. After all, the MSM has never been indicted for fraud, so they must be telling the truth about Dear Leader.

The left never has and never will acceptthat masculinity rules the world.They know Obama isn´y masculine enough to take on the world´s bad guys,so they invent schemes and ploys to make him look on equal footing.The Soviet Union could have been blown up much earlier than it was but we had really bad intelligence,namely they were flat broke and couldn´t afford a protracted war.Reagan came along with star wars and sent them off a cliff.Russia has all kinds of billionaires but we don´t know how much the government itself has. Putin can make a show of force to back people down but without the threat of nukes,they could´t hold up very long in a conventional war.

At least Putin can be trusted to act in a way that furthers the best interests of his country.Zippy task is to weaken America so that it can be over-taken by more mature Communists who will resume a program of ´self-interest´ once it is firmly under their control.That´s why Alinsky never speaks to the question how to govern once you have destroyed the old system.Because the destroyers aren´t in the business of governing. As is obvious.

District trustees, meeting in regular session Thursday night, agreed unanimously to enter into new collective bargaining talks.
The action comes more than four months after California voters approved Proposition 30, a temporary tax measure to increase funding for K-12 schools, community colleges and the University of California and state university systems. The measure boosted taxes on incomes over $250,000 for seven years and increased the state sales tax by one-quarter cent for four years.
The proposition is expected to generate $6 billion in revenue this year alone, and may, for VUSD, translate into an increase in ADA (average daily attendance) allotments from the state in the coming fiscal year.
In an interview Friday, Kari Sousa, the district's chief business officer, said that the state plans at least a 1.65 percent cost-of-loving adjustment for the district, or about $1 million. It would mean roughly $80 more per student.
But if the governor's proposed "local control formula" takes effect, the district could expect even more money, some $2.7 million, or an additional $220 per student. she added.
Negotiators for Local 21 of the Service Employees International Union, which represents the district's classified employees (food service, maintenance and operations, bus drivers, office and clerical services, etc.
"Both parties will enter these negotiations guided by the principles that are of importance to students, the district, our employees and our community," Randy Henry, the district's chief human resource officer, said in a prepared statement to the board.
It was unclear at the board meeting when the district would enter into contract negotiations with the Vacaville Teachers Association.
VTA President Moira McSweeney did not return a request for comment at press time Friday.
In his remarks to trustees, Henry, flanked by Brenda Hensley, VTA's chief negotiator, said the district plans to open several contract articles, including wages, hours, health and welfare benefits, class size, and part-time employment.
