The Governator announced yesterday a new cabinet level office of volunteering.
That way next time there's a fire, we won't need firefighters. Which is good, since we won't be able to afford them.
Just a super plan.

Does Lloyd Levine Have an Apprentice?
In a bill that seems like it must have come from the always file of Lloyd Levine, Assemblyman Bill Maze is proposing legislation to make it illegal for drivers to keep pets in their laps.
Maze also voted against the bill that will ban hand-held cell phones. Cause, you know, he didn't think it was the government's place to tell drivers things like that.
Apparently, he's going to need more practice, if he wants to follow in Levine's footsteps.

What? Policy talk in a presidential election?
This is crazy - there's an op-ed in the Times today about Clinton's and Obama's healthcare proposals and how they both might be missing the mark. I'm going to take a break from reading about Obama calling on Hill to Chill and from their war about photos of him in Kenya to point y'all toward something of substance. Stick with me, you might learn something

LA Has the Best Tap Water
LA has the best tap water??
Strange, but true. Maybe I should start drinking out of the toilet bowl too.

Lloyd Levine has Done it Again
Lloyd Levine has another brilliant idea. Let's have state online gambling.
Levine is calling for a bill to investigate whether it's legal for California to have online gambling.
This would mean a study of the Unlawful Internet Gambling Enforcement Act (UIGEA) to determine if a single state poker site could be legal. He suggested that such a site could be beneficial to the state. If run by the states governor it could contribute to the states finances.
I'm sure it'll be legal if the online server is located in a tribe. Or something else stupid.

That Whole Budget Thing
The LA Times also reports on the legislative analyst's report on the budget.
It turns out the budget shortfall is really $16 billion instead of $14.5. And *gasp* we might need to actually raise taxes!
The non-partisan analyst criticized the Governator's claim that this is just a spending problem and that it can be solved by the across the board 10% cuts. Also, stop paying the correctional officers more!
