First, my condolences to the family of Assemblywoman Karen Bass (D-LA), who lost her daughter and son-in-law in a car accident on the 405. The family will be in our thoughts. No good segway here, sorry.
Teasers: Arnold Schwarzenegger's staff living large on the lobbyist dime, Prop 90, Jessica's law makes us less safe, Crazy Tom McClintock, the CCPOA, and more!
Arnold's staff is still taking gifts from lobbyists. This comes after Arnold told them no more gifts, yet they have still taken tickets to Giants games, Kings games, Disneyland, and the Rolling Stones. Additionally, Susan Kennedy (ex-Dem) sent out a letter saying no more gifts, yet she seems to be overlooking that in favor of a trip to a 5-star Resort in Buenos Aires. C'mon Susan, we know you've filled up on all your tricks on hard-working Californians, now you think you get to take all the treats from the Lobbyists. Wrong...as the saying goes, i suppose the California population is now smelling your feet.
All that stuff about Arnold becoming more green. Well, if by green you mean that Grinch look that Reagan had as he robbed from the poor to feed the rich in the 80s, you are right! Arnold thinks he is Reagan's heir. Oh, great that's just what we need.
For some reason, people are choosing to ignore the fact that McClintock is nuts because he displays his insanity to your face.
A third party candidate forum: Oh great, they're giving two racists a forum, and oh, Peter Camejo is degrading himself to appear on the same stage with those two.
Dan Weintraub hits the nail on the head, Prop 83 will make us less safe. But, as he said, it sure sells well. Unfortunately, Weintraub tells the tale of Iowa which will likely have to repeal the law. It pushes offenders farther away from services, making a reintigration into society nearly impossible.
