Undercover on the left coast, I will post intermittently.
The budget shortfalls in CA are not news anymore, but well documented. Latest meltdown is the City of Oakland planning huge police layoffs in a city where crime has climbed to one of the worst in the country (and you thought the Raiders fans were just acting bad).
From the editorial pages of the San Francisco Chronicle "A graduating problem". Noted in the editorial a few facts, the national high school graduation rate=68.8, up 3.1 percent from 1997. California? Declined 4.7 percent the same period, 2nd worst in the country. Speculation as to why? "California's high school student population is increasingly Latino, a group that has lower graduation rates than the overall population." "It's true that California has a high proportion of English language learners, another group that tends to have lower graduation rates."
The editorial conclusion on how to fix the problem? "...make an urgent task to keep these students engaged" Maybe they should check with their neighbor state to the east...Arizona.

Former Vice President Dick Cheney was admitted to the hospital Friday after experiencing "discomfort"
It was not immediately clear whether Cheney's health concern was related to his previous heart troubles or a moment of painful clarity on his mantra “deficits don’t matter “
Maybe he quit talking so much lately because all his other assignments as acting president also turned out very very badly Iraq ,the "Cheney Energy Task Force," not covered by any Sunshine Law
When it comes to the still unfinished business of our unitary executive it is none of our business
Two people at end of AHnold clip was Dick and John clapping and believing every word

Tea Baggers and NRA ers are not worried about the BP problem in the Gulf
