Arnold Schwarzenegger, Blog Roundup

Blog Roundup 3/2/07

Sorry this is late. It covers through Thursday, March 1.

Over the flip, Nunez disses Arnold, SB840 is re-introduced, An Inconvenient Truth wins, UC Davis food workers march and bloggers finally get our own category because, let’s face it, we are the story…

State Politics

  • Brad Parker at PDA has a must-read article about the DLC vs Progressive conflict within the Democratic Party at play here in CA. http://blog.pdamerica.org/?p=1002

  • Julia covers Nunez’s smackdown of Arnold and offers a bit of a smackdown of her own. Old habits die hard, I guess. http://workingcalifornians.com/blog/julia_rosen/2007/03/01/beggar_not_a_lecturer_needed

  • The Ojai Post has all you’d ever want to know about CSI: California (California Solar Initiative, silly) aka the million solar roofs bill. Oh, and by the way, happy birthday Ojai Post! <

  • Frank at CPR is raising some excellent questions about the criteria for blogger credentials to cover the state legislature. Bill Cavala argues that if the press corps controls access to legislators, the public should know to whom they’re beholden as well.

An Inconvenient Truth

  • Last Sunday night, Al Gore’s movie won best documentary feature (there isn’t a category for film that saved the world, I guess.) Does this mean he’s running ?
