Hillary Clinton warned Bush last March to act, Bush did nothing:
“It’s about people”… Which explains why she’s drawing thousands at campaign stops in Arizona on Tuesday. Following up on my late night links round-up from last night, read Jeffrey Feldman on the significance to the UFW endorsement that Clinton received here during her stops in California [...]

Barrack Obama sent out an email this week to his California supporters with an announcement that Republicans could now vote in the Democratic Primary. It was an outright request for them to do so. As relayed to me by phone, the letter was inaccurate and poorly timed.
The reality of California Primary voting is quite simple:
A. [...]

Late yesterday afternoon I received an email from the Clinton campaign about attending an event here with Hillary Clinton in the San Fernando Valley (Northridge). Having missed the last event here in SoCal, I welcomed the opportunity to attend, because as I have said here many times, I am particularly interested in the issue of [...]

I’m on the run today… heading out to Clinton campaign event here in the San Fernando Valley (Los Angeles).
I haven’t been out to see any of the candidates speak as of yet, mostly due to a lack of time or interest. As I reported here a few weeks ago, I did try to get a [...]

On Friday, there were new indications “that the spiraling subprime mortgage crisis is spreading from home loans to credit cards, potentially engulfing a far broader segment of Americans.” I thought when I heard the news… Wow… they’re catching on to what we already know around here.
How bad is it? Bad enough for Treasury Secretary Henry M. [...]

I could have gone a very long time without running across a report of a law enforcement officer containing this quote: “He said: ‘I’m the policeman of the world, and I can do what I want.’” But the rest of the story is so sad that it really breaks my heart. Or maybe it just [...]

Be aware, there are about 7 shopping days left before the Jolly Fat Dude arrives. I just wanted to remind those of you who act as Santa’s “authorized agent” to get moving. I just got done with my online holiday list (one thing that each family member “really, really, wanted”). I’ll admit it, I am [...]

Last night I attended a wonderful and “passionate get-together of L.A.-based bloggers” at SteveAudio’s. It was loads of fun. Time passed by quickly as we spent the evening enjoying “great conversation” and some “great food and munchies.” The conversation ranged from the ‘08 election to foreign policy, with a lot of laughes. While we didn’t always [...]

I’ve got work for the next three nights, so I may not be functioning at peak blogging mode for a few days. But, since my job involves music and in light of the fact that Ike Turner (he formerly of Ike & Tina Turner) has passed away I’m offering this video in his honor: River [...]

In Los Angeles robbery sinks to a new low:
A burglar stole tens of thousands of dollars Sunday from a Union Rescue Mission safe, money that homeless people had saved up from jobs they held outside the shelter, officials said. The thief then set a fire to cover his tracks.
The smoke forced the San Pedro Street [...]

Oh, snap! It’s Monday!
Don’t you just hate the Monday after a major holiday? Makes me glad that I’m a stay-at-home mom, Sunday thru Wednesday and that I home-school my children so that I don’t have to wrestle with them on Monday mornings. I can enjoy my morning cuppa in peace and snicker at the rest [...]
