U.S. Out of California



“This is the first time that federal government has attacked California rather than agreeing with it” on air pollution standards, said V. John White, a longtime clean-energy lobbyist in Sacramento. “They have become a hostile force as opposed to a partner. They are an enemy, and they prefer the interests of the auto industry over the interests of the health of our people and state.”

“Californians will realize again that maybe it’s time to secede from the Union,” said Hal Harvey, environment director for the William and Flora Hewlett Foundation.

U.S. Rep. John Conyers to investigate the federal Drug Enforcement Administration's use of "threatening letters" to target medical cannabis dispensaries throughout California. The DEA's unrelenting raids continue to place citizens in harm's way, undermine state and local authority, and jeopardize the integrity of state law.

Immigration agents detained a pregnant mother Tuesday morning at a California elementary school. The woman's frightened 6-year-old daughter was told to go to class as her mother was led away for questioning. Tuesday afternoon after school, dozens of parents, teachers and students came together to decry the event. "This is supposed to be a safe place," Noemi Contreras, whose children attend the nearby middle school said. "They are scaring people with everything that is happening." In the last month three parents have been detained or placed in detention. "The fact that parents and children don't know if they're going to see each other at the end of the day is very difficult, psychologically, for our kids, continued Contreras"

Who Needs Real Love?

I do!

RULES
1. You post your top 10 fantasy guys/girls
2. You tag 10 people.
3. You CANNOT tag someone who has already been tagged.
4. You have to let the people you tagged know that they've been tagged.
5. These are the rules they must be repeated every time.
6. THERE MUST BE PHOTOS! AT ALL TIMES!

Since I don't have favorites but I want to satisfy the curiosity of spuddie I'll just see who comes from the top of my head.

1. Tina Fey has it all, humor, brilliance, and that look


2. Jodi Foster may be a bit serious but that is what makes her the Greta Garbo of our time


3. For pure pop fantasy I have to go with Liz Phair


4. Delving into the fantasy of power, Benazir Bhutto comes to mind, maybe because she is on the come back trail


5. Going back in time I'm thinking Clara Bow, maybe it's the hair


6. Taking the wayback machine I found myself thinking of Nefertiti. She definetly had the power of love


7. Like most, if we're talking guys, Johnny Depp takes it scissorshands down


8. And of course, the guy's guy has to be Tim Curry


9. Taking another step back in time I didn't want to forget Oscar Wilde who may have had nearly all the wit of his time


10. However, when it comes down to it, I have my real love and fantasy too, with the Copper Queen
