California: Look for some big State income tax raises. Anybody left making money will head out of State. Yes, They also had a ballot initiative that is passing that changes the state law so that all it takes is a simple majority to pass the state budget. So that means no more IOU's or months with a budget. But it also means that California will have totalitarian one-party rule and the tax rates will be going up, up, up..

Look for some big State income tax raises. Anybody left making money will head out of State. There's no question that's the first thing that's going to happen. He said there's only a 1% difference on the deficit and who can't solve a 1% problem. He has a democrat majority to back up everything he wants. The unions, teachers, libs, entitlementers, and anyone else who wants a handout can just get in line and hold out their hand. Between what Obama and Brown are going to do, working Californians can plan to work for the government for free for at least 6 months out of the year.

homelandsecurityus.com Al Qaeda’s “Next Day Delivery” Plot – Is It A Diversion? Saturday, October 30, 2010, 6:02:53 AM \| Sean Osborne by Sean Osborne, Associate Director 30 October 2010: Based upon additional recent OSINT information, I believe there is reason to assess that the current AQAP plot emanating from Yemen in the form of explosive devices distributed worldwide via FedEx/UPS commercial delivery systems might be a diversion from the primary Al Qaeda/Taliban planned attack. Some of these packages are reported to be inert dummies or dry runs, others are real bombs, albeit physically small, lightweight or incapable of doing significant damage. Small, geographically diverse strikes such as these do not make for a bigger than 9/11 plot, and most certainly do nothing in the way of retaliation for the hundreds of pummeling Predator drone assaults the United States is inflicting in northwest Pakistan, or through US/NATO surge operations on the ground in Afghanistan. If this is the best that Al Qaeda can do, then they must be on the ropes nearing a TKO. In fact, while garnering big headlines and lots of corporate media air time, these “Next Day Delivery” attacks appear designed to inflict less carnage and damage than either last year’s attempted Christmas Day Airborne Underwear plot or the Times Square plot, and doesn’t strike incapacitating fear in the hearts of us alleged infidels. I am currently assessing that Al Qaeda’s primary attack might well be for the execution of multiple, well-coordinated, near-simultaneous, geographically diverse suicide missions similar to what occurred in the 2008 Mumbai massacre… but with a very significant twist. Instead of multiple Mumbai-style rampaging terror teams executing the cold-blooded gunning down of innocents in various places around the United States or Europe, the unfortunate innocents captured in these terror operations might first be held as hostages. AQAP would then issue its primary demand for the United States to release jihadist leaders such as Khalid Shaikh Mohammed who is detained in Gitmo, or that other high profile Islamic jihadists be released, such as the blind Sheikh Omar Abdel- Rahman being held at Butner FCI, North Carolina. Summary executions of the Western hostages would commence immediately thereafter given the anticipated Western government responses involving Special Operations Forces and Counter-Terrorist SWAT/Hostage Rescue operations. ----
