The Sacramento Bee’s Capital Alert asked on January 29, 2008, Does a newspaper (endorsement) matter? The answer is “it dependsâ€. Do the editorial writers have a clue about what they are writing? In many cases editorials are simply agenda driven as are the supporting “factsâ€. Too many times the writers just don’t do their homework. [...]
Senator McCain, and now presumptive third leading Dem in the presidential race, insists that he is a straight-talker. It appears, however, that his is pulling a Clinton by splitting hairs on the mean of words. Senator McCain has given the public a steady diet of Romney supports timetables which meant that he (Romney) wanted to [...]
Here is a little blast from the past. This is part of a Lassen Times letter to the editor published on October 24, 2000. Are we better off today, before proposition “V” as opposed to having it passed and established? I don’t think so. [snip] We reviewed the E.I.R. (Environmental Impact Reports). We talked to [...]

What they are forgetting is that you could receive your tax refund before they get that stimulus package into your hands. I wonder if the Elite 535 will find a [...]
I just received the 4th quarter results for my retirement plans. Another big drop like during the Clinton years with that phony economy. Where in the hell is MY GOVERNMENT BAILOUT? I was enjoying those 30% returns on my China investments.
A budget is a work of guessing. Guessing how much money will come in and where the money must be spent. A budget is also a statement of priorities. In short, the budget tells the public what government believes to be important enough to expend scarce resources. A “status quo†budget simply indicates that government [...]
On January 16th, Mayor Callegari appointed Joe Franco to the vacant Planning Commission position. Mr. Franco has been in Lassen County less than 10 years. Another “new face†in Susanville.
The REP primary is a mess. We see a new winner every week. Will it happen again on Saturday? Romney stalled McCain’s hope to repeat in Michigan by 9% (39 to 30). On the DEM side it looks like the real establishment candidate, Mrs. Bill J. Clinton, is having problems in the heartland. She ran [...]
