So the nurses put Governor Schwarzenegger up on the auction block yesterday - literally. The Murky News has the story...
``GENUINE CORRUPT CALIFORNIA GOVERNOR ARNOLD SCHWARZENEGGER NOT AN IMITATION!!!!!!**********,'' read the listing, which included a sepia-toned photograph of Schwarzenegger with dollar signs replacing his eyes...Bidding started at $12 and peaked at more than $3.6 million before eBay yanked the posting.
If you haven't already, give their petition your John Hancock (remember, these things actually work!). They've also got a generally pretty good but currently not completely up to date weblog.
In more serious news, you'll be shocked to learn that after two decades of conservative economics, the rich are indeed getting richer, the poor are indeed getting poorer, and the noose is tightening around the middle class. A bunch of groups have been working together on crunching census data and the SF Chronicle has a pretty good summary of the bad news. We need an alternative!
