Today’s Blog Roundup is on the flip. It includes the experiences of a couple bloggers with arguments against impeachment (or evasions regarding the same), a few pieces on our environment (including our farms and fisheries), land use, another attempt at treating our gay and lesbian citizens fairly, and a smorgasbord of other items.

As always, let me know what I missed in comments.

Today’s Blog Roundup is on the flip. Let us know if I missed anything in comments.

Also, The California Majority Report seems to be experimenting with a daily news roundup. They’re calling it “Fresh Meat“, which is best thought of as a sort of a spun “Rough and Tumble”. I hope they can keep it up — I tried to do that for a month or two in 2005, and it was brutal. Of course, CA Majority Report should be able to, y’know, pay people.

Today’s California Blog Roundup is on the flip. Teasers: Angelides, Schwarzenegger, CA-50 post-mortems (almost the last of those, I think), 15% Doolittle, freedom, facts, education, and marriage.

Governor

• Joe Scott says both Angelides and Schwarzenegger are running to the center, but only provides evidence for the latter. And even the feeble attempts Scott documents, as Brian noted and Schwarzenegger’s history from the 2005 election (Remember that, just a few short months ago?) should teach us, is just a steaming heap of horse-shit concocted by the Schwarzenegger campaign in the hopes of hoodwinking Californians just long enough to win in November.
• Jen Ancona says: Run progressive, run strong.
• I think all of Schwarzenegger’s campaign will be summed up by this: look at the pretty colors, ignore the history.
• One last post-mortem.
