"Gov Moonbeam" Jerry Brown is now Atty General of California?

Interesting.

I voted for him.

California Uber Alles. :smiley:

Thereby duplicaring his father’s feat 47 years ago.

He’s certainly had an interesting career. Son of a former governor; seminary student; Calif Secretary of State; Governor. Presidential candidate. Dated Linda Ronstadt. Then wandered in the wilderness for 40 years (or so). Then mayor of Oakland; now Calif Atty General.

Don’t forget his stint as emperor of Saturn.

Please. I believe it was Jupiter.

No, that was me. The Jovians were ungrateful and I had to have them all liquidated. Believe me, they’ll thank me later (owing to the rather complicated Jovian reproduction cycle).

You forgot Classics major at Berkeley! (Hey, I was accepted into that program! :smiley: )

Everyone: hide your uncool niece.

Brown in '08? :slight_smile:

When I was a kid my dad was friends with a ‘bear in the air’ (a CHP officer who flew one of those airplanes the signs on the freeway warns you about). This was in the '70s, when Brown was governor. I remember ‘Bob’ saying that Brown’s plane flew by once, and he said he waved at it – with one finger. IIRC the CHP were upset with him for some reason. Budget cuts? I don’t know.

I vaguely remember something else, but not enough to be useful. Either while he was the governor, or afterward when he was proposing laws in an official or unofficial capacity, his ideas were called ‘draconian’. ISTR it had something to do with environmental legislation.

THANK YOU. I’ve been wondering for years what an ‘Uncle-niece’ is.
