See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.

Ugh, msbelle. Unhelpful guy needs a clubbing. And, ye gods, $250K? That's appalling.

I need more coffee, though I'm not sure why. Matilda slept in her own crib all by herself all last night, which makes twice in the last ten nights, which is easily double her record for the previous ten months. I should be wide awake and rested and chipper, not an ass-dragging zombie.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb

yeah, it's ridic, but kinda not really all that bothersome to me. I am way too low on the totem to be the fixer.

poor Grace.

Kat, I have no idea on the props. Just got an email from a progressive activist group I usually respect recommending a blanket NO on all of them, which made me go, "Buh? Huh." More reading and thinking (and coffee) is in order.

Grace's G tube will probably help her at least a little; my cousin's kids, who weren't G tube babies, were knocked sideways by the virus and couldn't eat and keep anything in their systems long enough to do them any good; they only did as well as they did during the worst of the illness because they'd been sturdy babies with good fat reserves, and it still took almost a year before they were really solid and robust again. I'm glad she's protected against that.

That doesn't surprise me. I think a lot of groups are taking the stand that the money involved was set aside for certain things and it shouldn't be touched.

Never mind that this state is essentially bankrupt.

I swear, I've never lived in a place that had more of a "money grows on trees" attitude than here.

The status is NOT quo.

I'm voting yes on everything because I seriously have no idea WTF the state is going to do to reach a compromise otherwise.

Same here. WE'RE BROKE, PEOPLE! Sadly, it's not looking too good for any of the measures, so I don't really know what's going to happen after that.

I blame Prop 13, along with the double whammy of two terms of Reagan as Governor followed by two terms as President, for all the state's financial woes. But, really, mostly Prop 13. I can't even imagine how different things would be here without it.

I'm always ready to blame Prop 13.
