Stupid culture wars. The debate's over. We've seen gay marriage and it's a cool thing, unlike molesting priests or dog fighting rings. There's no need for a "Defense of Marriage." see: http://ca-ripple-effect.blogspot.com/2009/09/assembly-passes-doma-resolution.html
Read my blog at http://davidprasad.com. What's a blog? A blog is a the hit late night show of your own low-power sub-underground broadcast network. It is the experimental overnight 24-hour newscast of your own cable news channel.

Unibomber guy loses in Iowa. He was the "great white hope" of "saving marriage". A Mormon anti marriage equality group sunk 86,000 into his campaign. He lost, so watch out!

California fire burns downhill in weak downhill breeze on Wednesday, sept. 1: http://icons-pe.wunderground.com/data/wximagenew/f/Fotoguy77/276.jpg Better to get the fire out of the way while the winds are weak, instead of a month later, when they will be howling. The burn area will act as a firebreak for future fires. Ironically, the fire is protecting the homes below the hills, even as it threatens them.

Editorial: If the Democrats want to enact health care reform this year, they appear to have little choice but to adopt a high-risk, go-it-alone, majority-rules strategy.
ActBlue: who's taken the pledge to stand up for the public option? You like that? Pony up! Pony up because the other side is ponying up just fine.
Lord, hear our prayer. One of the nicest traditions of the Catholic Church.
I support the House and Senate members who have pledged to vote down any health care bill that does not include a strong public option. Health care's out-of-control expense and lack of access for all is costing us all. Solve the problem, no more games! I don't know what's worse -- a health bill without it or continuing with the SOS.

Favorited Black Stalin - Bun Dem on YouTube
Terrible video quality, but it captures this great soca man at his peak. "Bun Dem" calls out all deh scumbags an de crooks in politic an bus'ness an'a predic what dem a face when deh arrive at St. Peter's Gate. Marvelous song, marvelous music.
Public Option now! Strong, comprehensive, affordable and for all. Say no to LimbaughCare. Say no to FOX NEwsCare. SHARE the HEALTH! Link: Courage Campaign | Senator Feinstein: Carry on Senator Kennedy's legacy
Happy new Mac OS Day! Today Mac OS 10.6 "Snow Leopard" is out. It is totally 64-bit, no legacy 32 left in it. It's 1/4 the size of the last version, 10.5, because they went in and rewrote all the code efficiently. I can't wait to get my hands on it!
(and then after getting back from the Apple Store)
Super bummer for me and my old PowerPC Mac, which is running like it doesn't know it's old. Snow Leopard is ONLY for Intel-based Macs. I want a new Mac!
C'mon Reggae lovers, you know who you are: "I don't sniffa coke, I only smoke Sin Semilla ... I don't sniffa coke, I only smoke Sin Semilla!" Well, the lyrics you are about to read don't sound anything nice like that. Fuckin Buju Banton is a 'phobe!! I did not know this about about Buju Banton. His pro-weed/ganga songs have been a hit with the rasta/reggae community for years. http://ca-ripple-effect.blogspot.com/2009/08/la-center-demands-hate-filled-singers.html
Now for the Reggae I hope you'll REALLY like!

Soccer is football. Right? It's played with a ball and you use your feet on the ball. But American Football is hardly ever played with feet. I think it ought to be called TackleMaxx®.

Dodgers radio during the St Louis blowout during the last road trip: "Annnnd, the wheels have fallen off the jalopy!" What's goin' on Joe? The team is not motivated, it is not enjoying itself.
We got the power! Public option now! Quality, affordable health care for all. Rising deficit? Give the government the power to control the cost of health care. We want drug price negotiations, we want payment caps for hospitals. We hate industry lobb...yists running our country. That's why the market crashed, that's why we have a deficit.
Progressive Caucus Finds Itself In A Strange Place: Power
What a blast from the past. This show had some very funny people in it. Whoever wrote it definitely didn't grow up or even ever come near this place. Terri Garr was awesome.
Tastes like Fresno!
RIP Teddy! I wasn't a sophisticated consumer of politics back then, but I loved his campaign against Jimmy Carter in 1980. And that speech at the DNC in '80, it was just freakin' amazing. He could sure rattle some walls with his old school labor unionist style rabble rousing speeches. Story: http://www.capecodonline.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20090826/NEWS/908259969
On calling Schwarzenegger's automated opion line: I called him to urge him to sign the Harvey Milk Day bill, which he vetoed instead, and I pushed the wrong button and accidentally told him to veto the bill. Don't use his automated system, unless you're good at it. I was unable to undo my vote.

WSJ.com - GOP Proposes Seniors' Health 'Bill of Rights'
IIRC - if I recall correctly - I just learned a new texting shorthand acronym. This story just brought back memories of hoping we wouldn't run into somebody driving the wrong way over the those railroad tracks on Maroa in the Tower District when going back home from the Tower Theater. Story: Samoa plans to start driving the wrong way
Niiice, Dave! Universal health care now, so no matter what, if you need a doctor you can find one, and get treatment, without access or expense issues.
