Apparently there was something to do with a budget today? Hmm, well, here are some links:
• (Soon to be?) Former Alaska Governor Sarah Palin is coming to SoCal. If you are a member of the press and want to come, well, fugedaboudit.
• Apparently SF Supervisor Michaela Alioto-Pier is running for insurance commissioner. The timing of this is certainly interesting, as last week a slew of SF politicos endorsed Asm. Dave Jones. Other than her one successful election as an incumbent, she’s aslo been defeated in two attempts at Secretary of State and a run at CA-01 against Mike Thompson.
• Marianne Williamson wasn’t able to make it onto the ballot for the CA-10 special election. The spiritual advisor to Oprah will now have to try to run as a write-in candidate. As she has no party affiliation, it is unclear how this will all work with the run-off.
• The FDIC took over some banks in Southern California over the weekend: Vineyard Bank and Temecula Valley Bank
Schwarzenegger and Dems steal from cities and counties, and commit accounting fraud:

Why should the Democratic majority in either house support this “compromise”?
Saw the picture in the LA Times. It looks like Steinberg wants to hump Arnold’s leg. This is leadership?
Present it just as that. We are copying the oil tax from Sarah Palin’s Alaska (the one she was so proud of in her quitting speech). Pass that. Have the conservatives complain about that. Make the Terminator veto the programs from their Sainted Sarah.
The Sarah Palin Oil Tax. Heck, name it after her. She will be so proud, y’betcha.
