I’m going to wade into a debate here that anyone with more common sense than I have would avoid like the plague. Well, sort of.

I was going to call this post, “California Dreamin’” because what finally broke through my “not writing on Unspun™” barrier has to do with California’s pension “crisis,” which is really just one more aspect of California’s generalized budgetary crisis.

The First Amendment of the Constitution is perhaps only second (no pun intended) to the Fourth, Fifth and Sixth Amendments in terms of the way it’s being trampled by local, state and federal government in the United States these days. The First Amendment is different, however, in that it has a greater potential to affect […]
