Here in California, today is yet another special election, called in hopes that the voters will approve six propositions which are billed as temporary fixes to the current budget crisis — but fixes which will not solve the underlying problems (chief of which, in my opinion, are the two-thirds majority requirement in the Legislature for passing a budget or any taxes, as well as the long series of voter-mandated spending requirements from past propositions).

I’m letting Ted Stevens guide me.

It’s been a while since I’ve blogged here — it’s been busy, and it’s about to get busier, with my Extreme Blue interns arriving in just a week, and much to do to get ready for them (not to mention other work-related activities). The good news is that I’m learning a lot — but it would have been easier on me to spread out the learning a bit more. Not realistic, but easier.

My improv class is nearing its end, too, with our show on the 27th (8pm at ComedySportz San Jose, $5, validated parking). It should be fun, and I hope it’s funny.

And Jeff’s back from Tulane, which certainly changes the pace of life at home!
