Binky, How do you know this? ESP ?
"Add another to the list, Kratatoa: the Board is rallying the foot soldiers!"

6,500 people voluntarily, without any external pressure, signed up to support the VMP. Are none of those people allowed to express their opinions without being "McCarthy"ised as being puppets of the Garden?

I have posted many times in support of the Garden, even though I have expressed reservations to them about certain things --- because I support the VMP and have done so actively.

Actually, it is widely supported - 6,500 have signed up for support of the VMP. The opposition may be about 30 - not sure. Possibly information about this should have been included in the article. Santa Barbara is truly blessed by having the Garden, and it will be even more significant after the VMP is completed.

The bridge was constructed for cars - if I were a motorist I would find pedestrians on that very narrow structure distracting. To appreciate the beauty of the area, take one of the side roads, park and walk where there are no fast moving cars. You will see things other than chunks of metal flying along tarmac - there will be plants, birds, insects and far better examples of the beauty of life.

SBBG tried for years and tried a number of different things to save the old oak, but it could not be saved. It did not disappear nefariously. It had to be removed because its large branches would become a safety issue as it continued to fail and die.

Everyone who drives 154 should read this. I avoid 154 like the plague because of what you have described.

Bajades -

Ellen Tauscher was/is a Democrat, but not a progressive. I consider John Garamendi a progressive, who as Insurance Commissioner knows all about insurance companies.

And CA-10 is not a Dem seat - it has been both republican and democrat over the years.

Maximum - did you look at the math of the exit stats? Look at them hard, the story is there.

Did you know that Deeds was against the Public Option?

And Corzine ran negative ads that did not work, much as in Santa Barbara.

Bloomberg spent $100 million dollars and just squeaked through against an opponent who was mostly ignored by the Dems.

The stories cannot all be painted with the same brush - there are different factors in each, and they need to be evaluated to understand what went on.

NJ and Virginia were NOT warning shots --- Corzine and Deeds were bad candidates. Meanwhile, where it is important, CA10 and NY23 added two more Dems to the House.

Congrats to Schneider - a younger woman overcoming all the money thrown at the races!

Keith Olbermann reports news with editorials, so does O'Reilly - that is NOT what this is about. Check out this video:

There is a difference between criticizing a president, and actually acting as a political organization - as Glenn Beck does in organizing demonstrations. Which other TV outfit has organized political events? None, except for Fox. A new organization is supposed to report news not make news.
