Federally, the Prez is at Camp David for a well deserved time off. It is tiring to be the US president with the lowest approval ratings ever (33% Aug 2007 Gallup). Impeach him because he does not represent the majority of the people.
Congress is on vacation. Remember, it is this time of the year when they drop everything (even hot matters like deficient bridges) in order to get a primary house remodeled, or to count packs of dollar bills neatly stacked in a freezer, or whatever else they do for a living when they don’t vote to finance various wars or Big Brother laws while claiming they don’t support them. Remember, it is tiring to be the US Congress with the lowest approval ratings ever (29% Aug 2007 Gallup), even lower than the Prez. Impeach them all because senators and representatives don’t represent the majority of the people.
On the Race 08 front (and Race is indeed the issue!), Billary showed some cleavage and finally took the lead declaring that she would take donations from special interest groups but will never bend over backward for them (can she roll?). She also stated that she can walk on water but declined to prove it.
Statewide, in CA, the assembly cannot pass a long awaited budget but crave for vacations too. After all, it is time for the Nunez and Perata to fine tune the future term limit bill that would actually extend their terms, and for all to cater to the Indian Nation (foreign entities meddling in State politics), to get a primary house remodeled, or have a dinner and sleepover with special interest groups. Basically, they just do whatever else they do for a living to divert taxpayer’s money and propose bonds for critical things that got neglected. Nothing new: divert the money for infrastructure; propose a bond Californian cows vote for. Divert the money for levees maintenance; propose an emergency bond cows vote for. Divert the money for bridges maintenance, propose a critical bond. You know the song by now. Happy cows come from California! Keep on milking us, we deserve it!
Locally, Tsakopoulos (the Democrat real estate mogul that tried to impose a Parthenon replica building downtown Sacramento) tries to sprawl a resisting Democrat and prominent city of Davis in exchange for some stem cell lab, while stem cell money is slowly dilapidated by a mostly anonymous commissions -mandated by the people 2 years ago- that have been debating for years on how to jump start stem cell research. Talking about genetic enhancement also reminds me of chemical enhancement “a la Tour de France”, Schwarzenegger, Garry Bond, Pruot or Graple. It also brings fore the scare of chemical poisonment in most of the Chinese goods we purchase, from toys to pork, tooth paste to cat fish.
But I am sure that these local news have a familiar ring to your ears all across the nation where the same things are happening every day too.
So for this week, nothing, nada, niet, rien! Vacations!
