I've been immersed in taxes all weekend, writing a paper for school on revenue volatility (titillating isn't it?). No doubt I'll bore my classmates to sleep on Wednesday when I give my presentation.

But I did manage to work a passage from this blog post into my paper. I'm not usually a Dan Weintraub fan, but he got this one pretty good. Angelides is an honest liberal. And, in fact, he's the only honest liberal, and the only liberal, in the race. The other guy pretends to be liberal, but he's more like a Republican in a Democrat's tie.

Here's a passage from Weintraub's blog:

Phil Angelides continues to stake his claim as the honest liberal in the race for governor. Until recently he was laying out some very expensive priorities while pretending that they could be paid for with little more than a return to the tax rates on the wealthy that were in place under Pete Wilson (and Ronald Reagan).
