Candidate Canards 0G2/D72A7@=B/

E VERY now and then, an insider inadvertently exposes the hideous rationalizations that run the American political grotesquerie. The best known of these statements are memorialized on TV as gaffes. But the ones that never become famous tend to reveal the ugliest assumptions of all. Case in point is the comment the pharmaceutical industry recently let f ly in the Washington Post. The newspaper examined how the Obama administration crushed legislation that would have allowed Americans to purchase lower-priced FDA-approved medicines from abroadlegislation that President Obama promised to support as a presidential candidate; legislation that would have reduced drug profiteering and saved the government and consumers $100 billion. Its about being a candidate as opposed to being president, said the drug industrys top lobbyist in defense of Obamas f lip-f lop.

This explanation is common among politicoswe last heard it when The New York Times John Harwood quoted an administration aide attacking those demanding Obama fulfill his campaign pledges. Disenchanted activists, said the White House, need to take off (their) pajamas, get dressed and realize that governing a closely divided country is complicated. These candidate vs. president idioms are standard among Beltway elites who belong to what New York Universitys Jay Rosen calls The Church of the Savvy. Their catechism says that anyone demanding a president deliver on campaign promises is naive because, allegedly, there is an inherent difference between what a candidate can tell voters and what that candidate can support as president.

Its a canard, of courseone sculpted to excuse selling out. And there are two huge problems with it. First, ignoring presidents broken promises defiles our republican democracy. In America, we only get to choose presidents every four years, meaning we must rely on campaign promises as metrics for electoral choices. But if the entire idea of the campaign promise becomes an assumed joke, then we have zero metrics by which to elect leaders. Second, an obvious but taboo truth: Candidates shouldnt make promises if theyre not serious about follow-through.

Drug companies already manufacture medicines in the developing world so as to evade U.S. labor, environmental and safety regulations. They then legally import those products for sale to Americans at inflated prices. The new bill would have merely let wholesalers, not just manufacturers, also import medicinesbut at the lower prices the manufacturers concurrently sell those medicines abroad. Such wholesale importation is permitted throughout Europe and the rest of the industrialized world. So two questions: If the administration actually believes importation is unsafe, why isnt it banning current drug imports? And if the administration specifically insists wholesale importation is unsafe, then where are the dead Europeans?

Fibbing for the public good is different than breaking promises for private gain. In the latter cases, candidate vs. president apologias are non sequiturs. They justify nothingand they clearly do not rationalize an importation U-turn by Obama designed only to protect a drug cartel. That kind of power-coddling reversal insults voters, and absolving such an insult isnt savvy. It betrays our nations founding principles.

problem: Where, exactly did they think these folks were going to go? Did they imagine that they would simply disappear or go home? Nothey liked being down by the ocean, so they simply moved their rigs down to the lighthouse lot, taking up valuable parking in a highly used tourist destination or down to the Lane where they take up spaces, often more than one per vehicle, used by the local surf community. So, whereas before they were all nicely grouped together in one spot that wasnt being used by anyone else, now that lot is completely empty all the time and they are taking up spaces that were being used by others.

Can someone explain the logic in this? Doug Springs,

The Year We Wish Had HappenedIt was one for the record books, this 2009. Oh, sure, there were bright points: the inauguration, some entertaining scandals, the inauguration, Giants slugger Pablo Kung-Fu Panda Sandoval, the inauguration. But for the most part, when we look back at this annus horribilis of bankruptcies and bailouts, we prefer to contemplate what might have happened rather than what actually did. 0G1C@B7A1/@B73@B@/176C97::/

Responding to the outcry, city leaders formed a three-judge talent board to force potential street musicians to obtain a license through an American Idolstyle audition.

We believe that performing in front of a nitpicking trio of judges will produce better quality street musicians, said Downtown Association executive director, talent judge and Simon Cowell look-alike Chip. Plus, the humiliating entertainment it will produce will have much more community value than any instrument these morons might try to play.

430@C/@GSanta Cruz Gives Federal Stimulus Money Back to Residents

Having received $11.3 million from the Obama administrations American Recovery and Reinvestment Act, Santa Cruz city leaders decided that instead of repaving roads or widening highways, they would send each of the citys 54,778 residents a check for $206.28.

Im spending my Obama money on beer, said a grinning 16-year-old standing outside of Longs on Front Street. So, um, will you buy me some beer?

Other residents were more responsible, like Robert Steffen, also

known as the Pink Umbrella Man, who said hell use his stimulus cash to upgrade the pink daisies on his sneakers to orchids and roses.

Time to stimulate my feet with some fly new kicks, whispered the slow-moving man on his way to the f lower shop. Thanks, Obama!

Furlough Days Accompanied by Adjusted Workload

Throughout California, in both the public and private sectors, employers recalibrated their expectations of workers to reflect the combination of shortened work weeks resulting from regular furlough days and reduced resources resulting from massive layoffs. Many municipalities, Santa Cruz included, went a step further by making it a misdemeanor to tell employees to do more with less.

Widespread Improvement in Service

In shops, coffeehouses, restaurants, dry cleaners and government agencies across Santa Cruz County, surly Millennials actually gave a shit, or a reasonable facsimile thereof, and obstructionist old-timers inexplicably became helpful. City

and county officials refused to comment publicly, saying they didnt want to jinx it. I went into my neighborhood coffee shop this morning and got my latte in like five minutes, said one. I didnt even have to wait for the baristas to finish their conversation! Im not jeopardizing that. No comment, amigo.

;/@16City Saves Money With Afternoon Siesta

Deep in a $7 million budget deficit, the city of Santa Cruz announced it would bring back the afternoon siesta in order to cut costs and improve morale. From 1 to 3pm Monday through Friday, city offices will close while hammocks are strung up and futons folded down for what Councilmember Tony Madrigal called something Ive been doing at council meetings for years!

Several local businesses are taking the citys lead in scheduling a customary naptime, and restaurants citywide revamped their menus with siesta-friendly lunches like sliced turkey, barbecue ribs and white wine. No one was happier than Santa Cruz City Manager Richard Wilson, who took a moment from his Councilmember Story Time session to talk about the move.

Just look at how happy little Mikey is, said Wilson, looking up from his Aesops Fables book and pointing to a teddy bearclutching Mayor Mike Rotkin curled up on orange air mat. The Spanish had it right all along!

/>@7:First Lady Censured

Instead of turning a blind eye to Gov. Arnold Schwarzeneggers wife Maria Shrivers repeated traffic violationstalking on her cell phone while driving, parking her Escalade in a red zone, not paying a parking meter while getting a coffee and muffintraffic police wrote her a $50 million DWI (driving while irritating) ticket. The money was sent straight to a special Insaney Day Fund created in case the state government is hijacked by lunatics, and is being used to shore up the states safety net services.

;/GSanta Cruz Council Backs Down From Smoking Ban

After considering the findings of a task force on a proposed downtown smoking ban, the Santa Cruz City Council opted not to outlaw smoking tobacco on Pacific Avenue and Main Beach, saying that bourgeois moralizing disguised as concern for the environment and public health would just be annoying. Live and let live, the councilmembers said in a prepared statement explaining the imminent appearance of concrete ashtrays on city streets and beaches. Addicts are people, too.

Bankrupt House-Flippers Shamed

Across the United States, ordinary citizens who behaved like high-rolling real estate speculators during the housing boomflipping houses, overleveraging their personal assets and dominating dinner parties with talk of their financial successeswere made to explain their actions to panels of frugal grandmothers. Teams of therapists were on hand to assist in case any of the subjects went into shock from the full understanding of just what colossal assholes theyd been.

8C:GReason Prevails at Town Hall Meetings

An anonymous donor gave millions to cover the cost of getting reasonable people across the country to health-care town hall meetings, providing education on the issues in several languages, buses, day-care money and wage compensation. Millions of the uninsured working poor f looded town hall meetings to voice their support for a public option, drowning out gadflies and waving drawings of Betsy McCaughey with a Hitler mustache. Lawmakers grew a pair and passed the public option lightning quick.

California Legislature Exhibits Competence, Decency

Representatives in Sacramento averted catastrophe in the form of $15 billion in cuts to education and services

by raising taxes on the wealthiest Californians and increasing fees, despite the unpopularity of these methods. The break in the months-long stalemate reportedly came after California Democrats took a seminar titled Dont Take No Guff from the ladies at the El Palomar taco bar and subsequently opened up a can of whoop-ass on their Republican counterparts.

/C5CABMountain Man Successfully Stubs Out Cigarette on Sole of Shoe

An unidentified Santa Cruz Mountain resident living somewhere near the old Lockheed facility finished his cigarette, considered tossing it into the bone-dry underbrush near his shack and decided instead to stub it out on the bottom of his boots, preventing a 7,800-acre wildfire and saving the state $29 million. The man then went inside and ate his dinner.

Longs Drug Store Remains in Business

A $2.9 billion deal to sell all existing Longs Drug Stores to the Rhode Islandbased pharmacy chain CVS fell through at the last minute, preventing the loss of 800 jobs in California and sparing consumers throughout the West Coast the shock of shopping in a store with too many f luorescent lights and weird gray carpeting that conceals way too much dirt.

Not until we fix this fucking tax system, man! The Commission came down with a severe case of Stockholm syndrome and decided instead to get behind Keeleys blue plan, recommending a pollution tax and a rainy day fund. When they finally emerged, Schwarzenegger got in Keeleys face and said, I dont approve of your methods! But, dammit, they get the job done. He signed the reforms into law on the spot.

B3@@G0=HH7=With roots stretching back to his glory days as drummer for Frank Zappa and Missing Persons, Terry Bozzio has remained a monster in the world of percussion, partly for his ridiculously large drum kits but mostly for his creative and syncopated rhythms and unorthodox time signatures. Onstage also are Allan Holdsworth, Tony Levin and Pat Mastelotto, two of whom were catapulted into the limelight in the 70s as part of English classic rockers King Crimson. Fusing rock and jazz as only a veteran squad of superstars can, this is a top-notch act and a great start to the New Year for Kuumbwa. Kuumbwa; $28 advance/$31 door; 7 and 9pm. (CC)

/@73A(March 21April 19): One of my favorite landscape painters makes a livable wage from selling her art. She has had many gallery showings and has garnered much critical acclaim. Thats the good news. The bad news is that she feels obligated to keep churning out more landscape paintingseven when her muse nudges her to take a detour into, say, abstract expressionism or surrealistic portraits. Galleries dont want anything from her except the stuff that has made her semifamous. Sometimes I fantasize about creating a series of Sock Puppet Monkeys Playing Poker, she told me. If she were an Aries, Id advise her to do what I think you should do in 2010: Listen to what your version of the sock puppet monkeys are urging you to do.

B/C@CA(April 20May 20): My Taurus friend Jill had a dream in which she stopped by a blackberry bush on a summer afternoon. All the ripe blackberries were too high on the bush, just out of reach. She stood there gazing longingly up at them for a long time. Finally three people in medieval garb came by, as if having stepped out of a deck of Tarot cardsa warrior, magician and priestess. I really want those blackberries, she said to them. Could you give me a boost? They stooped down to make their backs available. She climbed up, but still couldnt reach the berries. Oh well, we tried, she said. Follow us, said the priestess, and she did. After a while they came to another bush whose blackberries were lower and easy to pluck. Then the four shared the feast. After analyzing the omens for 2010, Taurus, Ive come to the conclusion that Jills dream is an apt metaphor for your best possible destiny in 2010.

53;7@71=@7A13A(Feb. 19March 20): The philosopher Nietzsche said there was no middle ground: You either said yes to life or you said no. You either celebrated your vitality, enjoyed your power, and thrived on challenges, or else you practiced constant self-denial, hemmed yourself in with deluded rationalizations, and tormented yourself with indecision. Im not so sure its always as clear-cut as that. While Im usually in the yes to life camp, Ive gone through no to life phases, as well as some extended maybe to life times. What about you, Pisces? Whatever youve done in the past, I hope that in 2010 you will take maximum advantage of the cosmic rhythms, which will be encouraging you to give life a big, resounding, ongoing YES.
