Former Assemblyman Tony Strickland of Moorpark, who has spent his entire adult life either working in the Legislature or running for political office, has decided to present himself to voters this year wearing the mantle of a newfound vocation: "Alternative Energy Executive."
What earns him this designation? Why,
It refers to his position as vice president and partner in a startup company, founded in June, called GreenWave Energy Solutions. The company has filed applications with the Federal Energy Commission to develop two projects off the California coast.[...] It hopes eventually to produce electricity from a nascent technology that seeks to harness energy from ocean waves. Strickland is one of five partners who each pledged to put up $5,000 to start the company, although Strickland acknowledges he has yet to pay his share.
Cute additional info: Strickland's job with the company will involve "coaching the company on government affairs issues".
Meaning maybe we'll finally be rid of him when he goes to prison for bribery of public officials sometime in the next few years.
Another cute aside:
In addition to the partners, the company has two volunteer employees — Chris Wangsaporn, who is managing Strickland's Senate campaign, and Joel Angeles, chief of staff to Strickland's wife, Assemblywoman Audra Strickland, and a consultant to Tony Strickland's campaign.
Mr and Mrs Club For Growth California are setting up a local version of Haliburton.
I really, really don't like them. Not at all.

All we can do is hope that the tens of people who read this blog will see the light.
Oooh- snarky
The only person I dislike more than the Stricklands is Gallegly. I have seriously thought about standing on a corner during the next election with a sign that says, "Anybody but Elton."
