The California Senate rejected a bill Monday that would have made it illegal to carry unloaded guns in public, but lawmakers will give the vote one more try.In another bit of useful California legislation, Calif. delays Bo Derek confirmation to horse board
The Environmental Protection Agency has denied a petition filed by environmental activists seeking to ban lead in ammunition and fishing tackle, saying such regulation is beyond the agency's authority.So they CAN regulate the air you exhale, and Carbon that is the building-block of Earth-based life-forms - but their authority stops there? For how long?
* There is no scientific evidence that the use of traditional ammunition is having an adverse impact on wildlife populations.
* Wildlife management is the proper jurisdiction of the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Services and the 50 state wildlife agencies.
* A 2008 study by the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention on blood lead levels of North Dakota hunters confirmed that consuming game harvested with traditional ammunition does not pose a human health risk.
* A ban on traditional ammunition would have a negative impact on wildlife conservation. The federal excise tax that manufacturers pay on the sale of the ammunition (11 percent) is a primary source of wildlife conservation funding. The bald eagle's recovery, considered to be a great conservation success story, was made possible and funded by hunters using traditional ammunition - the very ammunition organizations like the CBD are now demonizing.
* Recent statistics from the United States Fish and Wildlife Service show that from 1981 to 2006 the number of breeding pairs of bald eagles in the United States increased 724 percent. And much like the bald eagle, raptor populations throughout the United States are soaring.
If you want to join in on the Stevens Media boycott with Safari, GlimmerBlocker is an open source proxy based solution for Mac OS X (10.5+). http://glimmerblocker.org/Additionally from Clayton's blog warning-post, there is an extension for chrome called 'SiteBlock' that seems to do the same thing for that browser.
If using SiteBlock in Google Chrome, be sure to search/replace all instances of "http://www." with "" (nothing) in your text file before pasting into the SiteBlock box.With belt-and-suspenders overkill I did both. The whole list of stupidly poisonous and useless spaghetti-media appendages is here:

Overhead the high-tension wires snap, crackle and pop as the power flows through. The distant white mound accross the Bay is owned by Cargill Salt from whence comes, "When it rains it pours" - and is or was about 90-feet tall. Back in the olden days it was owned by Leslie Salt. Our neighbors across the street were a Science Teacher, his wife, and two big strapping lads - she was a Leslie.
The trailer park next to Microsoft HQ is quiet - probably two thousand feet up it's bright and warm and sunny but down here we're captured in the inversion layer.
Evidence of a collector impulse and lack of wherewithal: besides the RV's parked all about there's a rusty 50's era Cadillac ambulance and a similar hearse, and a '69 Firebird and an Alfa Romeo 2000 GTV. Two sail boatsthat haven't seen the water in decades perch on trailers. All sit quietly on decomposing rubber.
The European Commission has decided to fire up the powers of taxation given to the EU by the Lisbon Treaty. Thanks to David Cameron's refusal to fight the transfer of sovereignty the treaty makes, the British people can now be subject to taxation direct from Brussels, with the Commons -- indeed, with the Chancellor -- having no control over the tax at all.And as a nice touch she includes a picture of an old, dead, white-guy - a racist and imperialist who didn't put up with any of that crap:
Today Janusz Lewandowski, the commissioner in charge of the EU's £116bn budget, announced he intends to press for a new EU tax. The euro-elite want to be able to get their hands on your money without having to ask your Government even for a perfunctory agreement. All this talk about belt-tightening around Europe is making the euro-elite edgy: they have their luxurious pay and pensions and travel allowances, and all their empire-building to protect, after all.
Britain and every other member state is going through terrible budget turmoil, with spending cuts and citizens furious about increases in taxation -- yet now Brussels is getting ready to activate Art 311 of the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union (part of the Lisbon bundle -- the euro-elite don't want to make it easy for you to find it).
It says, 'The Union shall provide itself with the means necessary to attain its objectives and carry through its policies.'
The 'means.' That means money. Your money. Taken away by an unelected single party government (the commission) enabled by politicians over whom the British voters have no political control (the council). The British will have to pay the tax these people demand, but can never vote them out. The commission wants to start with a tax on all bank transactions, or perhaps air travel. It doesn't really matter which. Their point now is to establish the power of Brussels to tax the populations of the countries of the EU without any control by national parliaments. Once that power is in place, the taxes can be ratcheted up.
There you have it, people forced to pay taxes by people they did not vote into office, and whom they cannot vote out of office, and over whom they have no control.
Graveyard? Most windshields were covered in a layer of dust showing disuse at any rate.
