"The leftist elite still believes in multi-culturalism, coddling criminals, a European super-state and high taxes," [Geert] Wilders told cheering supporters at a rally in Almere after polling ended on Wednesday. Link
Say, Geert, that's the same flat-world crap that the screwball lefties in the U.S. (including in Costa Mesa) believe.

OBAMA'S BRIDGE LOANS TO NOWHERE
We've used the term "bridge loan" before to describe Obama's various stimulus plans.
The other day, someone asked us to explain.
So, here it is: A bridge loan is a short-term loan intended to provide financing until a more permanent arrangement is made.
A bridge loan is the sort of thing that a bank will give to a farmer who must buy seeds and plant a crop today, but who will only be able to pay it back several months later when the crops are grown, harvested and sent to market. The bank, in making the loan, can see across the time gap to the crop being sold and knows that there's a high probability that the bank will be repaid.
In the case of Obama, and his so-called stimulus plans, what he's doing is similar. He's trying to bridge a gap in our bad economy with the idea that on the other side of the gap is a better economy that will repay the "bridge loan."
The problem, as we see it, is that there is no real "better economy" on the other side, because the U.S. has been deindustrialized and we don't make anything here anymore. In other words, on the other side of the bridge, it'll be the same as on this side.
Without making things, the economy is just built on us acting as middlemen between producers (China, for example) and consumers.
So, we sit here producing nothing and simply add our percentages to the products that go to consumers. It's just a house of cards and a pyramid scheme that is destined to fall, and fall very hard.

ALL OF COSTA MESA IS NOW IN A SLUM CITY CATEGORY ALONG WITH SANTA ANA
Below this link is part of a column over at the OC RED COUNTY BLOG:
"The Santa Ana City Council recently chose to declare the entire city an Economic Recovery Zone so as to qualify for $8,807,000 worth of American Recovery and Reinvestment Act monies. Whats a Recovery Zone you ask? It's an area with significant poverty, unemployment, rate of home foreclosures and/or general distress."
In case you missed it, fellow Costa Mesans, your Costa Mesa City Council did exactly the same thing to Costa Mesa that the Santa Ana City Council did to that city and put our entire city in a Recovery Zone.
In effect, Santa Ana and Costa Mesa both put up ersatz signs on both cities that intelligent people can read this way:
THIS IS A SLUM CITY. YOU DON'T WANT TO LIVE HERE. YOU DON'T WANT TO STAY HERE. YOU DON'T WANT TO DO BUSINESS HERE. YOU DON'T WANT TO SHOP HERE. YOU DON'T WANT TO BE HERE AT NIGHT. THIS CITY IS FULL OF GANGS. IT IS FULL OF ILLEGAL ALIENS. IT IS FULL OF SLUMS. IT IS FULL OF CHARITIES. IT HAS SCHOOLS THAT ARE FAILING. IT HAS A FLEEING MIDDLE CLASS. STAY AWAY, UPWARDLY MOBILE PEOPLE. THIS IS A NEW COMPTON ABORNING.
Only Mayor Mansoor and Councilmember Bever voted against the above slum designation for Costa Mesa, but they were outvoted because both Monahan and Leece fell right in behind Flopsy Foley and put the slum designation on our city.

GOOD REPORT ON COSTA MESA'S BUDGET PROBLEMS
This from the OC Register.
There are also some good comments from readers following the above article.

CITY TO PUT RULE ON HOLD
Link to Daily Pilot article about the City deciding to not enforce rule against those soliciting work on our streets.
THE CM PRESS OPINION: It's important for any laws that may impact the First Amendment to be carefully crafted and enforced. In the present case, the City of Costa Mesa has agreed to wait for the outcome of a similar case to see if our law and the way it's enforced pass constitutional muster.
However, instead of just waiting, we think that the City should be researching similar laws in other jurisdictions to see which ones do pass muster, and then the City should revise our present law.

FLOPSY FOLEY
FLOPS AGAIN
At last night's City Council meeting, the CM PRESS again told the Council that they're spending money like drunken sailors and that they're giving our money to some non-profits that help suspected illegal aliens.
We also pointed out that Newport Beach was recently named as the "top wealth center among U.S. cities." Yet, Costa Mesa, right next door, and sharing the same school district, and with a long history of being Newport's sister city, was more like a slum city.
It's sort of like Newport Beach is the pretty sister and Costa Mesa is the ugly sister. Uh, you get the picture.
We asked the Council why they thought this was the case and how it is that the two cities are so close yet so different. We then answered our own question. It's because this and previous Councils have screwed up priorities and they've turned Costa Mesa into a slum city.
Flopsy didn't like our comments and decided to clumsily undertake a little pas de deux.
In doing so, she mumbled the lefty cliche (which in this case was also a non sequitur) that she liked Costa Mesa because of its "diversity."
You see the problem? We hadn't used the word "diversity." It was something from her subconscious that popped out of her pie hole. But, this was to be expected.
Flopsy, lest you forget, was the only Councilmember who refused to sign a letter to then President Bush asking him to protect our borders. At the time, she said she would write her own letter. As far as we know, she never has. Now, boys and girls, don't we have a name for a person who says she's going to do something and then doesn't do it?
At any rate, Flopsy didn't explain how diversity has helped her or her family. You see, that's what lefties do, they state some meaningless twaddle but have nothing to back it up.
So, what has diversity done for Costa Mesa, Ms. Foley? We'll tell you:
*Many of our schools are now officially failing schools. This means that parents have the legal right to immediately pull their kids out of these schools and put them in schools in Newport Beach (Newport Beach is, horrors, not very diverse).
*Costa Mesa has a high crime rate.
*Costa Mesa has slums.
*Costa Mesa has home values that are lower than they should be.
*Costa Mesa has thousands of illegal aliens living here who mooch off the system.
*Costa Mesa has non-profits up the wazoo that are funded by the City Council and which act as magnets and sanctuaries for illegal aliens. Some of these non-profits only serve Hispanics. No non-Hispanics need apply, apparently.
The above items do not describe a city on an upward spiral. They describe a city that needs to be improved.

OKAY, BUT WHEN THE CM PRESS SAYS IT LIKES COSTA MESA (AND WE HAVE SAID THAT), WHAT DO WE MEAN?
--We like the geography. We're close to the ocean but out of the beach crowds and traffic.
--We like being close to the freeways.
--We like the general way the city is laid out in something of a cohesive square rather than being strung out along a long major street such as Beach Blvd.
--We like the cool breezes in the summer.
--We like the slightly funky feel of the city and the unmanicured naturalness.
Because we like Costa Mesa (as defined above) we want to see it improved. We want to see better schools, lower crime, higher home values and a better quality of life for citizens. That's why we stay here and that's why we attend city meetings and try to help get things going in the right direction.
