Goodbye Governator, Hello Again Gov. Brown

Something seems familiar about this scene: On Monday, California’s former and now repeat Gov. Jerry Brown made his status official at a swearing-in ceremony in Sacramento, apparently comfortable enough in his position to get a bit goofy with the occasion.  —KA

New and Improved Comments

We are launching a major overhaul of our comments section.

In addition to more robust spam filtering and moderation, new features include the ability to rate other comments, sort how they are displayed and respond directly via e-mail or in a thread.

Unfortunately, commenters will lose their existing Truthdig identities. It's a pain, we know, but on the plus side you will now be able to log in with a plethora of options, including Google, Twitter, Facebook and Disqus accounts.

Before launching this system we spent months in discussion with our top commenters. We listened to the feedback and we hope you like what we've come up with.

Please direct any problems or concerns to us via our contact page.

California needed a honcho movie star from Austria
for governor, about as much as the USA needed a CIA
operative from Kenya as president.

The world and many Californians clearly see what has
happened to California.  The world clearly sees what
has happened and continues to happen to the USA.  Too
many Americans still do not see the ruination and
nazification brought on by the GHWBushSr family
entourage, accelerated by the current
“administration.”  Due partially to the privatized
news media, an arm of the Disinformation Program of
the NAZI element of the CIA.

Time for the genuine Americans in the CIA and FBI and
NSA to gain control of the reigns.  A few American
Generals in the US Military might lend a hand . . .
the one that is not busy in their crotch area.

Brown now Governor, Boxer in the Senate for six more years.  Too bad pot was not legalized so we could enjoy it all.

Gov. Brown had more hair, then! Other than that, he is a very good man!

I remember listening to Jerry Brown’s call-in show on
WBAI years ago. He’s a reasonable, thoughtful person.
Whether that translates into good governance, who
knows, but I wish him and California luck. They need
it.
