I think you're being hard on Gray Davis for the wrong reason.
(Gray--doesn't that just speak volumes about the man?)
He can be faulted for being such a timid leader
on so many other issues.
In this case, the electrical contracts were in place.
Short of eminent domain,
I don't know how he could have changed things.
Damn right I'm pissed about it all, 2 years on
--now that we know the facts.
Be happy we were out front on this and took the bullet,
showing the rest of you how NOT to do deregulation
(i.e. faux deregulation).

He was so shy he didn't even use his own name.
It was "Jack" as in "He didn't know Jack." |

Factually incorrect. The flawed dereg was in already in place, but Gray "was

No. You reds go ahead and secede. By the way, we have a good national
anthem for you. It's not currently being used and it fits Bush's
political philosophy quite well: http://tinyurl.com/5lhzc

socialism?????????
