What the hell is wrong with my State

For the sake of all that is holy, why the hell do people vote and support the Gropeanator?! While granted he is becoming very "green" as of late, and aiming to appear to be a centrist so he can win re-election, he's ARNOLD SCHWARZENEGGER FOR GOD'S SAKE!!

In his most recent Governor-like action, Mr. Hunky made a comment about State Assemblywoman Bonnie Garcia and speculated about her nationality. Specifically he said,
"I mean Cuban, Puerto-Rican, they are all very hot. They have the, you know, part of the black blood in them and part of the Latino blood in them that together makes it."

Part of the Black Blood and Latino Blood?! While clearly Ms. Garcia is saying she's not offended and that she has called herself a "hot-blooded Latina" is clearly her just taking that party line to protect her Governator.

How can someone get away with such a blatantly racist statement deriding not only the Latino population but also the African-American/Black community? We need to being to hold our leaders accountable for shit that they say, and I hope the NAACP and others are writing letters to the governor and the people of "Kaa-lee-for-neeeaaa" will keep this in their minds when the vote.

The God's have looked upon me favorably...

Now, I dont want to oversell this, but I came upon perhaps the GREATEST NEWS EVER recently. ZACHARY'S will be opening a San Ramon branch later this year! Now while it may not matter for most of you, guess who lives 7 minutes from where the new enclave of greatness will be opening.

For those of you that have had Zachary's, or live in Chicago and eat Deep Dish regularly, this is nothing short of a landmark event. Zacharys has stood pat with their two locations in Berkeley and Oakland forever. So for them one to open a new restaurant is just huge. But for the to open it within running distance (well not for me but someone who runs) is something I will be looking forward to until their doors open to provide me with Spinach & Mushroom pizza.
