The Other White Meat

The Official California GOP Mascot.

-Is the Republican brand in Cali also headed for extinction? Steve Harmon raises the question.

-David Nolan, founder of the Libertarian Party, dead at 66.

-Sarah Palin has a busy week, as she urges that we stand with our North Korean allies, fight against the nanny state of Michelle O'bama's "Let's Move" child anti-obesity program, and beats a halibut to death on TLC's "Sarah Palin's Alaska" reality tv show. Who wouldn't want to beat a fish to death, if, after only 2 episodes, your TV show plummeted 40% in viewership?

-Father Dollar Bill, a 91 year old Catholic priest who, on Thanksgiving, has handed out money to residents of skid row for the past 32 years, continues to demonstrate that actions speak louder than words.


- A newly elected GOP-Teabagging congressman is crying about his congressional health care plan while simultaneously working to repeal Healthcare reform brought about by the Obama administration. The Democrats responded with a letter (in part);

"It is important for the American people to know whether the members of Congress and members-elect who have called for the repeal of health insurance reform are going to stand by their opposition by opting out of the care available to them at the expense of hard-working taxpayers," the Democrats wrote in their letter. "We look forward to your response in the coming days about exactly how many of the members in the Republican conference will be declining their taxpayer-supported health benefits."

-Divorced? Got kids? Not big on Jesus? Keep it on the down-low or this might happen to you.

-Black Friday has already kicked in big time at Citadel Shops in Commerce at 11pm on Thursday. Fox 11 helicopter reporter Kevin Takumi twitpics that the parking lot is full and NB/SB 5 is a mess.
