want to hear or engage in any discussion she said it s like name calling like calling the tea party people racist or not knowing much about someone like sarah palin and trashing her in front of me liberals don t really engage in two way discussion it s easy to be a liberal it s more difficult more intellectually challenging being a conservative from this santa monica daily press article on the shocking news that there are a few non liberals scattered throughout our fair city above beverly hills resident diana ross i can not vouch for her political status but you never know maybe this song was about her coming out as a gop supporter 12 03 am 0 comments labels people s republic of santa monica the conservative closet 21 october 2010 are you propositioning me part i props 19 20 27 california voters are expected to legislate since our legislature isn t up to the task this election there are a nine statewide measures up for vote here are my opinions regarding three of them proposition 19 duuude let s get stoned vote yes there are many reasons to vote no on this proposition you may have a moral objection to the weed you may think that the current medicinal marijuana laws are sufficient to supply people who have a use for the stuff or perceive themselves as having a need are covered or you may worry that passing such a law would set up an unwarranted conflict between state and federal law enforcement agencies for me personally that s the biggest reason to vote for this law first off prohibition doesn t work substance use and abuse is part of human nature get enough people together and a certain percentage are going to want to get high on one thing or another criminalizing that doesn t prevent it and seems to only make the trade in the substances more violent militarizes our police forces and in a perverse way makes the drugs more glamorous pot would be that boring drug that old baby boomers smoke if it were completely legal take money out of the pockets of mexican drug cartels and put some of it into the state s coffers in the form of taxes on legitimate growers and sellers also given that ag eric holder has already said he s against it that s enough reason to be for it at some point the federal government needs to be challenged on this issue i believe there is no legitimate basis for federal preemption with regards to any of the current drug laws it s time for the states to step up and take on their proper role under the federalist system we have in place and assert the right of nullification under the 10th amendment nullification got a bad name when southern states tried to use it to get around brown v board of ed but the rulings against nullification were very narrowly defined and cited other parts of the constitution 14th amendment mainly for justification there is no constitutionally defined federal right to drug enforcement so it would seem if this matter were brought up to the supreme court california law in the wake of passage of prop 19 would nullify federal pot laws within the state the federal government could still retaliate using the power of the purse by withholding dea funds but the revenue from legal pot could be used to pay for enforcement of other drug laws so that s not a problem prop 20 27 gerrymandering it does a political body bad yes on 20 no on 27 often during the initiative process when it looks like something that might seriously mess with the way the legislature does business might make the ballot and look attractive to voters they use their ability to vote stuff directly onto the ballot that is similar enough to the citizen generated initiative as to cause confusion and possible preemption when two initiatives attack the same issue should they both pass the one with the higher vote total is the one that becomes law 20 and 27 are bound in this way both are being sold as reforms to the process of redistricting prop 11 in 2008 which passed narrowly was almost identical to prop 20 with the only difference being that prop 20 also extends to us congressional redistricting prop 20 keeps the responsibility for redistricting to a non partisan panel in the hopes that our districts will reflect geography and demography rather than the political interests of incumbents prop 27 in the name of cost savings does away with the panel and gives the job of redistricting back to our corrupt ineffective and democratic party dominated legislature while the citizen panel lead redistricting may not end up giving us perfect districts we can be assured that if our current legislature were given the power to draw up the next decade s worth of political boundaries that the districts they draw will be perfectly terrible from the voters standpoint anyway from an incumbency protection standpoint they ll be perfect if neither pass prop 11 will still be law so an argument against voting again for a law that has already passed would be reasonable but because prop 27 is on the ballot and because if it wins more votes than 20 it would preempt the better law that reality forces voters to vote again for something they already voted for have i mentioned that this process really sucks sometimes and here s a song some folks put together with banjo explaining each measure without editorial comment of any kind 1 12 pm 2 comments labels ballot initiatives election 2010 prop 19 prop 20 and 27 your daily photo emptiness edition long time no blog shot taken driving back from vegas after an impromptu mini vacation might post some other shots later in the week from the trip or take new shots we ll see going back to a single shot per day instead of five shots occasionally also plan on blogging daily again there s stuff happening worth talking about and even if my opinions aren t always worth listening to no harm in putting them out there 12 10 pm 0 comments labels daily photo mojave desert nikon d5000 photo stitching 26 september 2010 your daily five photos there s one in every crowd edition been awhile just haven t been shutterbuggery lately wandered downtown to see the scene at this year s glow the art was crap but there were people out and about so decided to take my camera and take some snaps wanted to have reasonable shutter speeds so went with high iso 1600 shots are a bit noisy but that doesn t effect the composition or overall feel the biggest problem was shooting with only those ghastly sodium street lamps for lighting the reason i call this set there s one in every crowd is simple seems like in every shot there is one person and only one person looking straight at the camera strange how that works my favorite is the guy waving in the shot taken of the pier note if homosexuality had been more socially permissible during the early 1900s i think shutterbuggery would have been an awesome choice for the name of a gay lifestyle photo enthusiast monthly magazine 7 27 pm 2 comments labels furious five photos glow 2010 santa monica 12 september 2010 team usa fiba thoughts team usa successfully stormed through the fiba world championships in turkey great effort and a solid coaching job by coach k lead to a fairly easy tournament despite being a very young and seemingly undersized team players who proved they belong in elite company who might not have been thought of being at that level before the tournament are as follows lamar odom la lakers where was this player for the lakers he was the glue that held this team together his rebounding activity defensively and superior athleticism compared to other centers he played center mostly in the tournament were all big surprises kevin durant was without question the best player in the tournament but a strong case could be made for lamar being the second best player for team usa given that he s about the 4th or 5th best laker that s kind of shocking even with bigger stars looking for a place on team usa for london 2012 lamar should have earned a roster spot assuming he remains capable of playing at this level which given that he ll only by 32 then he should eric gordon la clippers his shooting strength and quickness all helped to get him significant minutes backing up the 2 guard spot and being brought in as a third guard when team usa went small because of his strength and fiba rules allowing more contact than in the nba he was able to guard players a few inches taller than himself also he probably benefitted the most shooting behind the closer in 3pt line nba 3s are just out of his range but he has the perfect shooting touch for the international game kevin durant oklahoma thunder everyone knows the durantula is an emerging star in the nba but this tournament should leave no doubt in anyone s mind that he is in the conversation for best player in the league given that lebron will probably play a sidekick role in miami durant should be favored to win the mvp in the 2010 11 season it s unfair that someone with his length has that kind of shooting touch russell westbrook oklahoma thunder westbrook played his way onto the squad in las vegas as rajon rondo played his way off more for his willingness to play within the system than with superior talent compared to all the other 1 and 2 guards that were available that coachability combined with a commitment to playing solid fundamental basketball make him worth more for his team than his basic physical toolset would seem to merit players who probably played themselves off of consideration for the 2012 olympic squad chauncey billups denver nuggets older does not mean wiser too many times he took unadvisable shots in situations where more ball movement would have been wise wasn t great defensively either he wasn t terrible but there a lot of younger players who are better physically and mentally at his position tyson chandler dallas mavericks unimpressive tournament he had a chance to shine but against any but the slowest and crappiest big men he looked lost and a bit lethargic dwight howard will be the starter and odom and bosh the backups in 2012 there s no roster spot left for chandler and he doesn t deserve one looking forward to london 2012 i think the players who played well on this team should be rewarded with roster spots assuming these players stay healthy then the 2012 team should be about half players from this squad and half from the 2008 beijing team if i had to pick right now here s my 12 man roster for 2012 c dwight howard he s the only true center you need c f lamar odom blake griffin lamar s earned it and blake will be a monster once he gets back he grabs the main big forward spot from kevin love f carmelo anthony kevin durant lebron james melo is a fantastic international player better at that game than he is in the nba and lebron is lebron while durant by 2012 might be the best player on the planet other bigs that might play their way on to the squad by 2012 demarcus cousins he s got huge potential robin lopez kevin love chris bosh and amar e stoudemire sg kobe bryant stephen curry dwyane wade wade and kobe should still be playing at a high level while curry gives you unlimited shooting range to bust up any zone defenses they face pg deron williams derrick rose john wall williams and rose are locks for this team assuming they want it and they re healthy for the last guard slot i think after 2 nba seasons it might be hard to leave john wall off this team he has that much potential other guards that might play chris paul obviously but the physicality of the international game means his size will be a liability so i d favor wall over paul amongst smaller point guards given wall s superior speed russell westbrook is another option he s shown what he can do eric gordon might fit if they decide they need a role player off the bench rater than another star that leaves rajon rondo amongst top us born guards he played himself off the 2010 team by not following coaching instructions as well as westbrook or gordon his inability to shoot also is a bigger liability under fiba rules than in the nba but if he improves in coachability and shooting between now and summer 2012 he has a solid shot at making this team the line ups that team could put on the floor together would be frightening they could go with four shooters and a slasher on the floor with odom durant anthony curry wall or they could go huge with lebron defending the opposing shooting guard and kobe defending the point while james handles the ball on offense howard griffin durant james bryant or they could go lightning fast with three guards and no center durant james curry williams wall with that sort of line up flexibility that team should be able to create mismatches against any team they face even with the improved level of play they can expect in london as fewer star players skip the tournament as they did in the just concludede world championships there s a lot to like about the international rules compared to the nba i like the closer 3pt line the 40 minute games time outs on dead ball situations only and even the trapezoidal lane i think the nba is right in keeping the game from becoming the wrestling matches that they allow under fiba rules and even though officiating in the nba is at times questionable in international play it is o...
