Ah yes, our illustrious Governor of California Jerry Brown. Jerry has been involved in politics most of his life. In the 1970's, when he was governor before he was governor, he was noted for being "out there" and had ideas the general population could not quite grasp. He earned the nickname "Moon Beam."
I distinctly recall walking about the California capitol building in Sacramento not too long ago looking at portraits of all the governors from our very beginnings to date. All of them were traditional, stately portraits of pretty much of all old white guys all stuffed up in suits. Think of the portraits you've seen of President Washington and such. Formal. Stuffy. Uptight. White. Stick inserted somewhere and the pain is captured in the portrait. Heeeeeeeeeeeeeeere's Jerry...... He's California cool. I bet he wears Birkenstocks WITH socks:
Personally, I think Governor Brown and Bernie Sanders need to talk.....they could be quite the dynamic duo. They may need a little balance somehow to the right to appease the conservatives one way or another, but I think they could be quite a match up. Here's what they got going for them at this moment: The world LOVES Jerry Brown with our California cutting edge technology for a sustainable future and climate control. The world LOVES Bernie Sanders just because he's not an asshole and has a heart and just a shred of integrity. Hillary?????? Who is HE? Moon Bean and Sanders could resurrect what the Democratic party really is supposed to be about.
