No More Taxes

California rebelled yesterday and vetoed all the proposed taxes that were supposed to help balance the budget. Amen to that! Taxing folks who are already taxed to the hilt, not to mention unemployed and struggling, isn't the way to solve the budget crisis. What they did pass, though, was the one proposition that will prevent the legislature from getting their pay increases and the like while the budget goes unfixed. Way to go, Golden State! Fight back!

And yippee! The judges' fix didn't work, and Shawn Johnson won Dancing with the Stars! I screamed I was so happy! Way to go, Shawn!

Getting Together

Here are a few tidbits, some good, some not.

Just read that Michael Landon's son, Mark, was found dead. He did some acting, but wasn't as well known as Michael Landon Jr. in the acting realm. It's just always so sad to read something like this.

I saw Rob Lowe on the news with California's governor talking about the nasty fires that have raged on for the last few days. Lowe's house was spared, but many of his neighbor's lost theirs. Arnold Schwarzenegger said that he's been talking to Lowe a lot during the fires. They're friends, so that's one way that Arnie stayed on top of the situation -- with his friend who was living right in the thick of it.

Dancing with the Stars had the semi-finals tonight. I love Shawn Johnson and want her in the finals, but the judges have 'fixed' their voting all season to make sure that Melissa Rycroft and Gilles Marini get to the finals. This is the first time since the very first season that I felt like things were fixed and being manipulated.
