      A Proposal to Ban Spanking Sparks Debate

      Posted by Jeff from New York Times

      I think this is a fascinating and important topic. I promise to blog more about this soon: The governor said that when disciplining his four children, he and his wife, Maria Shriver, declined to spank. “I think any time we try to pass laws that say you’ve got to protect the kids, it’s, in general, always good,” he added.

    • Calif. Governor Calls for Universal Health Coverage

      Posted by Jeff from New York Times

      Wow, maybe breaking that leg and going through surgery gave him some empathy: "Schwarzenegger is betting that his plan will save $10 billion a year by cutting health care costs. He says the savings would offset the new fees he is asking doctors and hospitals to pay -- 4 percent of revenue for hospitals and 2 percent for doctors."

    • Pot is called biggest cash crop - Los Angeles Times

      Posted by Jeff from Los Angeles Times

      At least this drug is home grown ... as opposed to Heroin and Cocaine ... A report released today by a marijuana public policy analyst contends that the market value of pot produced in the U.S. exceeds $35 billion — far more than the crop value of such heartland staples as corn, soybeans and hay, which are the top three legal cash crops.

    • Florida Halts Executions After Injection Problem

      Posted by Jeff from New York Times

      Separately, a federal judge in California imposed a moratorium on executions in the nation's most populous state, declaring that the state's method of lethal injection runs the risk of violating the constitutional ban on cruel and unusual punishment.

      Duke Cunningham's GOP Replacement May Have to Step Aside

      Posted by Jeff from Dailykos

      Brian Bilbray has been very quiet recently. Yeah, he's heavily favored in CA-50 in the rematch with Francine Busby, but still you'd think he'd show up somewhere, anywhere in his district. But, according to Words Have Power, he's been hiding out. He's not been updating his web site, and he failed to show up at an AARP-sponsored debate. Strange.

      Scientist idea leads to Calif. bill to align Electoral College with Popular Vote

      Posted by Jeff from New York Times

      The first fruit of his effort, a bill approved by the California legislature that would allocate the state’s 55 electoral votes to the winner of the national popular vote, sits on Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger’s desk. The governor has to decide by Sept. 30 whether to sign it, a decision that may well determine whether Dr. Koza’s scheme takes flight or becomes another relic in the history of efforts to kill the Electoral College.

    Social Investing: The Golden State's not-so-golden goose

    These cash differences are quite small for investment funds of this size. The costs of investing in smoking may be even higher. Investing responsibly isn’t free. Investing in damaging industries is also not free, the costs are just externalized and borne by taxpayers and the environment later. This article is very poorly written.
