I vote yes on high speed rail because even if this proposition is bad, and won't work , I need the yes to transportation to be heard.
as for three --- I have heard ( but not researched) that they laid off workers -- but this is for building -- and I think they need people more than buildings ...But really, I need to do a bit more research
In general -- if I can't see my way clear I vote no on propsistions. If they can't be written clearly enough for me to understand -- they really aren't good.
Also , my understanding is that part of the budget constraints are due to propsitions -- money is hard to shift around.
I do not vote on judges because I know NOthing about them
Mondday is my day to go through things
For judges, I follow the Dem party line, 'cause I don't want to risk accidentally voting for a right-wing judge, or even helping a right-wing judge by not voting for a centrist or liberal. Right-wing judges scare me.
From Andrew Sullivan's blog -- a photographer does a series of pictures of friends that she's inveigled to dump stuff on their heads:

Made me laugh and laugh, and is totally work-safe, too.
The photographer has a video, too: [link]
Happy Birthday Ginger!
Buffista children in costume pictures have killed me ded.
Thanks, Tom -- love the expressions.
I just discovered that somebody I knew from writing workshops and online discussion groups (GEnie) is a regular writer for Daily Kos. How about that!?
Happy Birthday Ginger!
This waking up early on weekends thing is getting old. Despite going to bed at a fairly decent time last night, I woke up at 6 and haven't been able to get back to sleep when I've tried, resulting in me feeling vaguely headache-y and tired all day.
Did track down an $11 hibachi lobster lunch special and do laundry though, so at least the day wasn't entirely unproductive.
HMOG, Terry Tate has returned!
This made my day. Too funny.
Happy Birthday, Ginger!
Long day canvassing today. Tired but the overall experience wasn't too bad. Made some good contact with people and didn't have any really negative interactions. I'm scheduled for tomorrow afternoon, too.
