California’s richest person supports Jerry Brown
By Josh Richman
Wednesday, June 24th, 2009 at 5:34 pm in 2010 governor's race, campaign finance, General, Jerry Brown.
Your campaign finance tidbit du jour: Oracle Corp. CEO Larry Ellison – with an estimated net worth of $22.5 billion, placing fourth on Forbes’ most recent list of the richest people in the world – gave California Attorney General Jerry Brown’s nascent 2010 gubernatorial campaign $13,000 Saturday, according to the Secretary of State’s database as updated today.
I think $13,000 is about 5.8 millionths of $22.5 billion. Or, as Larry Ellison might say, a generous tip.

I asked some of the state’s poorest citizens–homeless types– and they told they didn’t know the Gov’s term was coming to a close.

Larry; can you spare a dime?

Oh great, another guilt trip has arrived. Can’t he just give the government all of his money and stop professing his allegiances?

We knew he (Ellison) was super-smart. Looks like he’s also engaged and principled in full measure.

Two differences between God and Larry Ellison:
1. God doesn’t crave publicity.
2. God doesn’t think he’s Larry Ellison.
