Sorry for the delay, but at least I have a fully functioning kitchen to show for it!
California has a budget! Well, actually it's just an agreement between the governor and legislative leaders, mostly Democrats, which Republicans can block, as they have done time and again. The L.A. Times and Sac Bee are leading the coverage on this issue, as is typical with California legislative stuff: check out the effect on prisoners, a near-useless state board, state parks and everything else. One of the best recaps, however, is from Dan Balz at the Washington Post, who also attempts to take a lesson from the idiocy.
Is Charles Schumer the only politician in America willing to talk about immigration? It's a tough issue, but Schumer has the big picture: Do everything short of militarizing the border (which is almost there already) to stop illegal immigration, then welcome with open arms the illegal immigrants already here. Of course, each side hates one part of this plan, so I'm glad there is one nationla politician who cares so little about his future that he's willing to step up and take care of it. Go Chuck!
No more wasting money on F-22s! Truthfully, this might be the best thing this Congress has done since being seated, refusing to waste more money on equipment we just aren't using in today's military environment. Of course, it took a Republican Defense Secretary to stand up and yell about it to make it happen, but at last it finally did.
