Assembly Judiciary Committee staff analysis of AB1967 (Leno) legalizing same-sex marriage in California

http://www.leginfo.ca.gov/pub/bill/asm/ab_1951-2000/ab_1967_cfa_20040419_160046_asm_comm.html
This is fascinating, especially the detailed exploration of the constitutional issues (California state constitution)… the basic conclusion is that the CA Supreme Court is very likely to rule against denying same-sex couples marriage licenses (i.e., to legalize same-sex marriage). Would appear that there is a lot to be optomistic about on that front.

Attorneys for Diebold Election Systems Inc. warned in late November that its use of uncertified vote-counting software in Alameda County violated California election law and broke its $12.7 million contract with Alameda County.

Living on the same planet?

“The Passion”

Mark Morford comments on this in his latest column. I’m not sure what to say about this… there is definitely a “not living on the same planet” thing going on here… I know a lot of decent, reasonably sane and well meaning people who appear to have been profoundly affected by this movie… just like […]

Wherein your author takes on a professional economist re: the manufacturing vs. service sector jobs debate.

Declan,

a) does the hourly wage calculation he cites include “total compensation”? If he’s using the data cited at the URL below, that would not appear to be the case. The type of manufacturing jobs that Donald declares people have […]
