1 Adam Carolla is an American genius.

2 Glad this got posted on here. Fantastic rant.

3 Well, do you ever get the feeling that the story's
too damn real and in the present tense?
Or that everybody's on the stage, and it seems like
you're the only person sitting in the audience?

6 Some nitwit Supervisor in SF wants to ban circumcisions. But, I repeat myself...

7 Does he actually have the Ace of Spades in his logo?  That oughta count for a lot.

8 Based on the pre-rant discussion on the podcast, Carolla implied that many or most terrestrial radio interviews are now edited. Explains why they usually suck.

9 Carolla is on Red Eye tonight.

10 I hope he behaves himself better than on his first Red Eye appearance. He was a dick. You do not mock Oderous Urongus!

My only beef with Corolla - who normally is a genius - is that I believe he was an Obamaphile. Hopefully that has passed like a kidney stone.

I don't remember him picking a side in 2008.  And you might be able to file that under "Shut Up and Sing" because he was an FM morning radio host at that point whose main job was to be funny.  He's definitely not one of the idiot celebs who pushed to get Obama elected.

----------------

His self-given nickname is Ace, so there ya go.

13 BTW, this is the same podcast where Dr. Drew Pinsky took a giant dump on Obamacare last week.

14 A beautiful blue rant on the great state of CA.  I felt like having a smoke after that.

15 Jay Leno is worth 150 million, 100 grand is less than 1 week's income

16 Great rant.

"Houses built with nothing but fucking drunk irishmen"...

17
Solid rant, but frankly "cock" sounds kind of weak unless you're British. Try "cockbite" or "cockholster."

Now that we have Flush-it-down-Brown back, we'll see how long it takes to make California a "commerce-free-environment."

Carolla does eventually get to the core point - do the politicians want 20% of something or 35% of nothing?

Brown is incapable of learning that lesson, so it's either a recall or next term before that can be fixed.

Everybody who thinks you can cut off California and leave them to rebuild, three things: it always costs more to start over than to do it right the first time, you can't cut it off and you'll end up paying for it anyway, and THEY NEVER LEARN.

You can't TEACH the left, you can only get them out of power. They will keep digging forever. I mean, freakin' Detroit.

18 I didn't know Corolla knew that much about construction. I had to deal with nailing schedules on shear walls at my last job. Kind of fun trying to explain to my fiance how it ends up that things don't actually get built they way we designed them even though the structure is light gauge metal and load bearing.

19 20

Corolla worked in construction, that's how he knows.

20 I got an estimate on putting in a fireplace: $7000! The guy said it would be 1/3 that, but the inspector has to inspect every two feet that goes up. EARTHQUAKE COUNTRY! You wait a week for the guy to show up, get passed maybe, build another two feet.  I said no thanks.

Two recent CA tickets (revenue getters, I mean): $109 for cross the street too slowly and $270 for speeding in our little suburb.

I wish I could leave but the family is here.

21 Merovign, Strong on His Mountain: "Brown is incapable of learning that lesson, so it's either a recall or next term before that can be fixed."

Or it's a bailout to the increasingly union-heavy state via Uncle Obama whereby responsible states get - using a phrase Carolla would approve - beaten and raped. Again.

Knowing our country today, I'm weighting odds heavily to bailout... because of the safety/children/spin-du-jour.

22 PJ: "I wish I could leave but the family is here."

Runaway Liberalism is a scourge. At some point, you may have to leave without 'em. Or bring 'em along but not before dumping any progressives in your clan. We really need to work at containing the rot.

23 $260 moving violation for rolling through a stop sign with no one around. ON YOUR BICYCLE. Yes, it is happening.

Carolla was never a full-blown Obamaphile. I recall listening to his radio show shortly before the election, and he told everyone he never votes, chiefly because he's cynical about all politicians.

I remember him saying some nice things about Obama back in '08, but it always seemed somewhat perfunctory to me, as if he realized he was surrounded by Hollywood liberals and he couldn't afford to burn every bridge. But even then, I remember him talking about visiting Texas shortly before the election and seeing all the McCain signs and contrasting that with all the Obama signs in southern California, as if he was trying to gently remind his bedwetting liberal co-host Teresa Strasser that there was a big world outside her cocoon.

Ever since he went to podcasting, I've noticed he's felt freer to let his libertarian attitudes come out more. I don't think he'll ever become a Dennis Miller-style conservative, but as a generally more profane version of Instapundit (libertarian on economics and social policy, hawkish on national security), he's fun to listen to.

25

That was the greatest thing I've ever listened to.  Carolla is a genius. 

How in the f*ck did his witless sidekick from the Man Show end up getting the big show?

26 you can download his podcast on iTunes for free.

27

I want to add something else...this is an example of what the far left has in store for the REST of the country...If you think that this can't possibly happen, think again. They've perfected this process in CA, and unless you take a stand, coming soon to a state near you.

For this isn't just about construction.  Extrapolate that out to EVERY area of life and now you'll understand what it's like to live in that state.   Total regulation and waivers for only the most powerful, and the rest take it up the arse.  And then you're told that it's for the greater good.
