I’m not sure what “live-blogging” actually is. So I may not be doing it right. Is it just having conversations with people face-to-face?

It’s not because I think taxes should be greatly increased to get our state out of its … Continue reading “Repeal the two-thirds majority component of Prop 13!”
Something told me that it was going to be a great comedy weekend coming up. No, really. I had a dream that George Carlin was performing on Crondall Drive and had a really crappy turnout, so he gave everyone in the audience free CDs, then we played the piano together and I made spaghetti.
