Daniel Goldberg of Oxnard, the 24-year-old Adam Sandler-lookalike seeking the Republican nomination in the 35th Assembly District, is a third-generation flower farmer.
Most of the flowers grown at the family's Oxnard and Santa Maria ranches are raised in open-ended, plastic-covered structures that most folks would call greenhouses. But Goldberg tells me he's stopped using that word when selling his wares at farmers' markets because, well, somehow global warming has given greenhouses a bad name. He refers to them as "hoop houses," which seems to allay some purchasers' fears about buying flowers from that have been grown under conditions that must somehow be bad for the environment.
Problem is, the "greenhouse effect" is merely a metaphor to describe the effects of carbon dioxide and other gases on the Earth's atmosphere. It's called the greenhouse effect because these gases serve the same function as the glass panes on a greenhouse -- they let in the sun's warming shorter-wavelength radiation, but trap the longer-wavelength radiation reflecting off the Earth's surface and keep much of it from escaping the atmosphere.
Global warming has absolutely nothing to do with actual greenhouses. They are designed to trap in heat for the good of the plants (which actually absorb the real greenhouse gases, but that's another story). Inside a greenhouse, the greenhouse effect is a good thing.
Maybe if Goldberg wins, having a flower farmer in the Legislature could help sort out such ill-informed confusion.
Good call, he does look like Adam Sandler. Just ran into him at the Ventura Tea Party.
It is a good thing that Daniel Goldberg has decided to run despite pressure to do otherwise by Republicans.
So, where did this alleged "pressure" come from, oh wise one, Katie?

I saw someone waving a Goldberg for Assembly sign in Ventura today!!! It was on Main Street.
As far as the pressure goes, ask Daniel yourself. Or email me after the elections and I will tell you.
I did and he said you're full of garbage.
Aha! - well then either you are lying or he is lying and I seriously doubt that he is that kind of guy.
What about the possibility (make that probability) that you're lying, Katie?
There is no possibility that I am lying.
Why, because you say so? What a joke!
Marijuana is what's going to keep him from getting cancer from smoking cigarettes. Plus, you CANNOT die from marijuana. How dare you try and impose lifestyle choices upon someone else, that's guarded by the constitution of Canada.
