Agence France Presse, September 3, 2010…

Although the initially slow pace of aid had improved since a visit by Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon in mid-August, the UN said it has “almost stalled” since the beginning of last week, rising from 274 million dollars to 291 million dollars – about two thirds of funding needs.

That’s a total of $17 million in about two weeks, from the whole world, for at least 8,000,000 Pakistanis with no food at all and nothing but dirty water to drink.

And in the same two weeks the United States has spent about $26 billion on “defense,” $13 billion per week, out of a military budget of $663 billion for 2010.

As California endures another summer of pointless raids,  

CA Senator Dianne Feinstein has come out against economic recovery for her struggling state,  by opposing its number one cash crop.  

CA Senator Dianne Feinstein has come out for wasting more money the state doesn’t have persecuting growth and use of a mild mood altering, pain relieving herb, one that is the easiest to grow of many garden plants.

CA Senator Dianne Feinstein used to be the mayor of San Francisco, but has decided to pair up with a Southern CA right winger, Los Angeles County Sheriff Lee Baca, to co chair the opposition campaign to Proposition 19, Marijuana  Legalization Initiative, this November.  

Remember when Sheriff Lee Baca issued  “Homeland Security Support Unit” photo ID cards to his top 50 campaign donors in 2006 ?  

CA Senator Dianne Feinstein seems to be working very hard to get Carly Fiorina, a right wing Republican, and business vulture,  as the state’s other Senator, by dragging the entire discourse to the right, which can only hurt incumbent Senator Barbara Boxer, irregardless of Boxer’s stance on the issue.  

“oppose Proposition 19 – the public doesn’t need to be exposed to the dangers of pot.”

– Public Safety First, No on Prop 19

Dangers of what?

What planet are y’ all on out there in Limo- land ?  I’m much more likely to get killed by a drunken driver mixing booze with Prozac, or a tweeker !  Get Real !
