You're so right about the "for the children" scam. 457493@blogcritics.org Fri, 13 Oct 2006 22:53:11 EDT http://blogcritics.org/archives/2006/10/13/132030.php#comment-457481 Well, I thought that Champ Car race was worth it; but I don't disagree with the article as a whole. 457481@blogcritics.org Fri, 13 Oct 2006 21:10:04 EDT http://blogcritics.org/archives/2006/10/13/132030.php#comment-457475 Great article, Thomas. And it's not just applicable to California. Voters in virtually every state face the same decisions over the same unnecessary and burdensome kinds of bonds. What steams me the most about the ones here in Texas is the deceptive wording on the ballot, where they try to sum a complex issue up in 50 words and half the time it reads like they do the exact opposite of what they are actually for.
