No matter what you think about Prop 1A no reasonable person could read the latest e-mail alert from the High Speed Rail Commission and not conclude that it is politically motivated. This one is just over the top.

It is taxpayer funded communication that even includes quotes from a US Senator from Illinois and a US Senator from Delaware that happen to be running on the Democrat ticket for President and Vice President of the United States. It might as well just have an endorsement list for Prop 1A and a "contribute here" button.

This is advocacy for Prop 1A courtesy of the taxpayers of California. It may still be legal but it is still very wrong.

They were kind enough to take me off their mailing list but enough people forwarded it to me that I got copies anyway.… Read More

MSM PRINT NEWSPAPER CIRCULATIONS DROP, AGAIN Our friends in the main stream media print newspaper continue to feel the hit as readership continues to decline at a fairly rapid pace. More and more former readers of papers are instead turning to outlets like the internet to find their news. It seems like many papers are in a “death spiral” where the circulation drops, then the layoffs come (see here for the latest), and then the circulation drops more… and so on…

If it hasn’t already happened to you, you probably know several people who have had their Yes on Proposition 8 signs stolen right out of their front yard. Although McCain/Palin and other Republican signs have been defaced and stolen, the Yes on Proposition 8 signs are being targeted in particular. In fact, the vandalism and theft of the “tolerant” No on Proposition 8 side has escalated to such a level that now cars and homes are being vandalized. There are so many reports of violence and vandalism that police can’t even keep up. And even with so many politically-motivated crimes taking place, the media have been rather quiet in covering the extent of these attacks.

In my Roseville neighborhood, just as quickly as Yes on Proposition 8 signs are posted, they are defaced or stolen. Thankfully, the local police have been great about responding to the thefts and last night they finally arrested three individuals caught in the act of stealing signs. The thieves’ car contained… Read More

But, here’s the explanatory press release from the Yes on 4 folks. Planned Parenthood’s gotta be going nuts, if their poll data is showing the same. Will we see a PP "Obama’s got a lock on California, so you can go ahead and stay home" effort in the next week?
