* Peter Schrag wonders when the current Governor and the wannabes are going to pay attention to education. He is simply dead-on. Our leaders have failed our eduction system, and all Arnold has to say about is that we need to get rid of the Sup. of Public Instruction? Nothing about his administration totally ignoring its own report calling out the failures of the system. If you have time to only read one California blog post today, this is the one.
* George Skelton wants to trade pension reform for majority vote budget. Joel Fox thinks Prop 25 is too friendly to increased spending (shock!).
* Ronald Reagan Day is a go. Wear a red ribbon.
* The FPPC is going to look at “issue” ads that are more specific as to what you should do about the issue. Under the previous guidelines, the standard for issues ads were broad and required little disclosure.
* The New York Times looks at the divide over Prop 19 (marijuana) in the African-American community.

I really want to make sure Pugno goes down in flames in his run at AD 05. Is there any collective wisdom on the chances of Dr. Pan? (met him Sat by the way, very enthused to turn this district blue!)
I really think Pugno’s involvement with PropH8 can be used to our advantage.
I setup an ActBlue page to raise funds for Dr. Pan if anyone is hankering to get an early jump you can contribute at:
Help me defeat ‘rePugno’
But it endorses the redistricting, which seems to be hated over here.
Time for a revival performance of Rap Master Ronnie. For those of you too tender in years to remember 1984:

Not a masterpiece of American theater, but it was fun.
