Stupid liberal idea of the day

That article suggests two different things, and I don’t know which is what they are (or were) doing. One sentences says they impound cars of drivers who do not have a valid license, and another talks about “unlicensed drivers”.

If I forget my wallet at home, and get stopped, is my car gonna get impounded on the spot?

No.

As for Jerry Brown, what can you expect from someone nicknamed Moonbeam?

No.

Hmmm… what would you expect from someone nicknamed Curlcoat? Seems like a comment that contains words but contains no information.

Apparently you are unaware of backstory of our good governor…

Which curlcoat could share, but she’s gonna need a few minutes to make shit up.

:rolleyes:

I have even less time for this kind of stupidity since I won’t be able to use one of my fingers for at least the next ten days. If you actually care to learn something, Google is your friend - start with “governor moonbeam”. Then you can come back and apologize. Or continue to be a bitch, I don’t really care.

[DianaG]

You should be more careful with both your fingers and your “everyone knows, you can tell because I said it” bullshit.

So, you chose “remain an uniformed bitch”

[SkipMagic]

There’s a uniform for that now?

It’s green and covered in question marks. Total ripoff of the Riddler.

oh crap - yeah my typing is going to shit… :smack:

[DianaG]

Blue dress, killer red heels. I own several of each.

Oh noes, curlcoat thinks I’m a bitch! However shall I sleep at night?

You forgot willfully ignorant and unable to admit you are wrong. Both far worse character traits than mere bitchiness.

[DianaG]

Still no cites, huh? You seem to be typing well enough.

Apparently you didn’t see the previous typo that SkipMagic pointed out, plus typing is taking me twice as long as normal. As for cites, since I don’t even know what specifically you want cited about our Gov, all I can do is once again point you to Google. Which of course you won’t do because you want to pretend I’ve lied about something. All I’ve said is that the man’s nickname is Moonbeam - I told you how to prove that. Want something else? Most likely it will be made up and not worth the effort.

[DianaG]

Erm… you said that his nickname is Moonbeam and suggested that his record warranted his reputation amongst the mouthbreathers as a kook. It’s not my job to prove your assertions, and I don’t give a shit about your fingers, try a rabbit next time.

Not my job to deal with your wild assumptions. I said nothing about mouthbreathers nor kooks

That you aren’t worth the effort? okaaaay…

If you actually care to learn something, Google is your friend - start with “governor moonbeam”.

From Wikipedia:

Brown proposed the establishment of a state space academy and the purchasing of a satellite that would be launched into orbit to provide emergency communications for the state—a proposal similar to one that was indeed eventually adopted. In 1979, an out-of-state columnist, Mike Royko, then at the Chicago Sun-Times, picked up on the nickname from Brown’s girlfriend at the time, Linda Ronstadt, who was quoted in a 1978 Rolling Stone magazine interview humorously calling him “Moonbeam”.[32][33] A year later Royko expressed his regret for publicizing the nickname,[34] and in 1991 Royko disavowed it entirely, proclaiming Brown to be just as serious as any other politician.[35][36][37][38]

So ‘moonbeam’ was a nick name from his girlfriend 30 years ago, so now what?

So curlcoat is a dumbass. Next time, don’t stick your finger in the blender when it’s running, dumbass.

It stuck.

The “Governor Moonbeam” nickname certainly referred to Jerry Brown the Younger during his first spell in Sacramento. Whether it’s still appropriate, or was even appropriate then, is a different subject, and, not having paid much attention to California politics lately, one I am not competent to pronounce upon.
