Is Ray Paulick "losing it"? You make the call!
http://www.paulickreport.com/news/ra...-needs-to-lol/
Excerpt:
So here’s the point, Chairman Brackpool. The misery is palpable, even to someone 2,000 miles away in Kentucky. No single decision you or your fellow board members agree to is going to make everyone happy – at least as long as Jerry Jamgotchian is around. Everyone is stressed out – including you, sir.
To lessen the misery, I offer a sincere suggestion, one I discovered Sunday night on the NBC Nightly News. Come to think of it, in the land of fruits and nuts that is California, this idea makes a lot of sense now that Jerry Brown, dubbed Gov. Moonbeam many years ago by the great Mike Royko, is back in the state house.
Please, do horse racing a favor, and begin each CHRB meeting with some levity. Go deep into the CHRB’s budget, and bring in the “giggling guru,” Dr. Madan Kataria, from Bangalore, India, to help set the tone for each meeting. For the first 10 minutes, everyone laughs and does nothing else.

In my opinion, this piece reads like an answer to claims that Paulick is in the bag for the various California acronyms.
A little bark, but no bite, and just enough of a satircal undertone that he can both try to appear concerned about the "state" of California and remain less-than-pointed with his grievances.
Granted, most people read into things what we/they want to or with a perspective that can be tough to shake, but this seems like a clever (well...) method of addressing what he seems less-than-inclined to address and keeping the water ripple-free.

The CHRB doesn't need the "Giggling Guru" to help make them laugh; they have been laughing at our expense for years now, without any trouble...

As the thread title indicates, Paulick keeps his friends close......

I liked Shutter Island, but this was more Monty Python like stuff. The song Always Look On The Bright Side of Life is probably most appropriate.

This poll shows me the poll choices, yet when I try to vote insists I have already voted. I assure you I have not.

The poll results were set up by an advisor to the Afghanistan government.

I think Paulick had nothing good he could spin for his California masters today ... and of course he can't afford to say anything bad about them ... so he just phoned this one in.

Must have been some sort of fluke confluence of mouse and keyboard...we don't make these kinds of mistakes on our end.
