...Proposition 77 or not, would improve the situation.Another idea is to make it much more difficult to get propositions on the ballot, forcing special interests to go to the bargaining table with legislators. Truth be told, this is a gamble. It is unclear whether such bargaining would result in actual legislation or just leave California gridlocked. Given the potential reward, however, it is worth the risk: if getting an initiative on the ballot was more difficult, but not impossible, initiatives would still be available as a safety valve to fix problems that cannot be fixed in any other way. Unfortunately...
...third term as director general of the IAEA. ElBaradei said last night that countries such as Libya, North Korea, and Iran, which are threatening to produce nuclear weapons, present significant difficulties for the IAEA. He also noted that it may be dangerous for nations to develop nuclear capabilities without actually developing nuclear weapons.

...high school, there was this dozy slapper Michelle who was talking shit behind my back, so I made her face-plant during chapel, nicked her boy, and zombied her friends to do my bidding. I digress.

The film begins with the statement, "Wolf Creek is based on actual events?," and Mclean does nothing to make audiences doubt his tale's veracity. "When we show it in the U.S. and France," he says, with barely disguised glee, "the audiences believe every single thing they've seen is true. Which says a lot about (their) gullibility, which is good...
...travesty. This contest will likely be this year’s Ivy title game, and there’s no reason to give a network rights to one contest a week if high-caliber showdowns like this fall victim to the ridiculous notion of equality of coverage.As for the actual game, Brown has been absolutely on fire lately, and so has Penn. Both teams would have come into this game 6-0 if it weren’t for monumental collapses in week two. This one will be an absolute shootout, but the Quakers defense will leave the rest...
