Potential Mayoral candidate Rick Caruso will receive the "Spirit of Lincoln" award from the Los Angeles Lincoln Clubs. As noted here Thursday, Caruso is being cagey about whether he plans to run for Mayor or not.

Everyone is hot for solar energy and it makes sense. That being said now the politicians are looking to use the issue to generate yet another bond on the March election.

If John McCain doesn't win next month will it be a Jindal-Palin or Palin-Jindal ticket in 2012? I don't know but no matter what Bobby Jindal is the Republican Obama of the future.

Speaking of same-sex marriage, many of the arguments against it are similar to those that were leveled against interracial marriage a half century ago.
