Wednesday Open Thread

I have four posts up today at Working Californians and you can go check them out.  This one is going to be pretty linky, mostly things I wish I had time to write about today.

• While I disagree with Herdt on Arnold true attitude towards the environment, he shows quite the pattern when it comes to Arnold thwarting the public process.
• Can I just say that it is absolutely ridiculous that there is an entire system in place for loans for legislative staff.  It's not that it exists, because it is good that they can still pay their bills, but that there is actually a routine need for such a system.  And yes there still is no budget.
• The Republicans are stepping up their opposition to AB 8, complete with a professionally produced YouTube.  They are even claiming that Arnold would veto AB 8 in its current form.
• And if you haven't watched the Miller video linked in the quickies you really should.  He was mad and I like it.  More please.
