With a hotly contested Republican Primary, the Republicans manage to get just over a hundred thousand additional voters to the polls, compared with the previous primary. The Democrats add a million voters.
The propositions on neither the 2004 nor 2008 primary ballots generated intense interest.
As you might guess from previous posts, I'd like to see results tabulated like this ...

Getting Past the '60s? It's Not Going to Happen
Good flashback on the reactionaries who are so often forgotten. Here's one I'll never get over:
"If it takes a bloodbath, let's get it over with." California Governor Ronald Reagan, April 7, 1970, in reference to using state violence to suppress protests at UC Berkeley.
Recommendations for lunch in Napa/Yountville/Sonoma area? (French Laundry is booked.) One of the diners is a vegetarian. The other is (mostly) an omnivore.
I'm still trying to get my mind around yesterday's news that Exxon's 2007 profit of 40 billion dollars equates to 1,300 dollars a second.
dont really care about the world of hobbits but if i did id be glad to hear that the director of pans labyrinth is taking over directorial responsibilities .
And this is without the Dems campaigning in Fla.

skinny's been cooking some amazing heirloom beans from
this place. yum!
dumpling house on eldridge underwent a reno over new years and i just paid them my first visit. id often go to the dumpling place on allen because it was quicker and less chaotic. its still quicker but the food is undeniably better and the menu is more expansive on eldridge and now theyve mitigated some of the chaos by adding a numbered check system. no more elbowing for space at the counter and hoping to get served. plus they added another storefront so its spacious (by comparison) and the kitchen is much larger so the food prep is faster. all this did not come without a cost however as dumplings are now 4 for $1 instead of 5. normally id howl at such price gouging but ill wait until the move to 3 for a buck.
now ive got to go. my roast pork noodle soup is getting cold.
While sitting at your desk lift your right foot off the ground and start making clockwise circles with it. Now raise your right hand in the air and draw the number 6. Your foot will switch to making counter clockwise circles.
