New Year's Eve Open Thread

by: David Dayen

Wed Dec 31, 2008 at 18:00:00 PM PST


Here are your last links of 2008:

• An interesting piece from earlier in the week on Jerry Brown's legal challenge to Prop. 8, strictly speaking the first time a state Attorney General has sought to invalidate a popularly passed ballot measure since 1964.

• In other Brown news, he's suing the Bush Administration to block one of their "midnight regulations"- this one would reduce the input of federal scientists on mining and logging projects that may threaten endangered species.

• John Garamendi is, er, a little worried about the trajectory of the state's financial prospects.

• Again, you can check out Arnold's plan to cover the $41.8 billion dollar budget hole here.

• And a Happy New Year to everyone, with hopes for a great 2009!  Oh, and if you want to sue for divorce, stay at a parking meter beyond the proscribed time, or not wear a seat belt, better get it in before the end of the year - state fees go up after midnight.

Oh, and one more thing... (0.00 / 0)
I went driving around today texting everyone I knew.  Starting tomorrow I can't do that.
