Hugh Hewitt Praises Crazifornia
Jan 9th
I sent a copy of the almost-completed Crazifornia manuscript to radio talk show host, blogger, author and columnist Hugh Hewitt for his review and comment. Gotta say I’m pretty pleased with the result:
Anyone who is concerned about California’s future or who fears that California’s maladies will spread to their state should read Crazifornia. Laer Pearce, who I’ve known as a public affairs pro for as long as I’ve lived in California, has written the most insightful and entertaining book I’ve ever read on the genesis, depth and – surprisingly – deep funniness of California’s perilous condition. Thankfully, this isn’t a boring tome touting the next ultimately futile formula for supposedly fixing all that ails California. Rather, it’s a story book, full of one astonishing tale after another about what really goes on in California, and why, and what it means to you. In the end, you’ll learn a great deal and enjoy it a great deal.
Hugh was the first person I met with when I came up with the Crazifornia concept. He supported me then and I’m glad to see he’s become even more supportive after reading the manuscript. It will be out in a few months – use the sign-up box in the top right to request an update when it’s available.
Crazifornia, Here I Come!
Apr 14th
Even decades after Al Jolson crooned, “Open up those golden gates, California here I come!” California was a dream state, attracting hundreds of thousands of new residents yearly with its promise of great weather, terrific schools, lots of jobs, and a small government in far-away Sacramento that saw its role as supporters and facilitators of the state’s growth.
My, my, my! How nightmarishly things have changed. The Crazifornia Project documents those changes. Or more specifically, how the death-spiral trio of liberal Democrats, no-growth environmentalists and public employee unions have come together in a Progressive campaign to tarnish all that was once golden in the Golden State.
You can help! Via the “Contact Crazifornia” button above, or by email to crazifornia @ laer [dot] com, send me your own story about how Crazifornia’s ridiculous regulations, ludicrous legislation or puerile policies are driving you crazy. If I use your story, you’ll get a mention in the acknowledgments of my upcoming book,Crazifornia – How California Ruined Itself and is Poised to Take the Rest of America with It.
While you wait for the book to be published, enjoy these posts from my old blog, Cheat-Seeking Missiles, that spawned the whole Crazifornia idea.
