Government in California, real injuries, Sacramento

"Speaking before an estimated 3,000 people in Sacramento's Memorial Auditorium — an audience that included former governors Arnold Schwarzenegger and Gray Davis, U.S. Sen. Dianne Feinstein and House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi — Brown drew parallels between his first term in office and the present day.

"Then, 1975, it was the ending of the Vietnam War and a recession caused by the Middle East oil embargo," Brown said. "Now… it is our soldiers fighting in Iraq and Afghanistan and our economy caught in the undertow of a deep and prolonged recession". Source: www.latimes.com


Arnold Schwarzenegger stepped down after seven years as California's governor on Monday, leaving the state struggling with a fiscal crisis that has pushed it to the brink of bankruptcy. His successor, Jerry Brown, has warned of "painful" budget cuts.

"Brown speech - to no one's surprise - centered on the budget. He spoke passionately about the need to transcend Sacramento's partisan political culture and stop using "delay and denial" when making tough budget choices.

He laid out three principles for his budget proposal: 1) Speak the truth on budget challenges; 2) No new taxes without the vote of the people; 3) Bring authority closer to the people (aka "realigning" core government responsibilities to local governments).
In a speech that didn't delve into specifics, it's notable that Brown singled out clean energy policy as a great economic opportunity for California. Expanding investment in cleaner energy, he said, can help lead us out of the state's 10th recession since World War II". Source: www.sfgate.com

Humphrey Bogart joined the Navy in 1918. It is said that during the World War I bombing of his ship, the U.S.S. Leviathan, Bogart received the injury that would become his trademark scar, although there are other versions, as a bar room brawl that might have been the actual cause of Bogart's lip damage, according to Louise Brooks's account.

"Himself, he never took too seriously—his work most seriously. He regarded the somewhat gaudy figure of Bogart, the star, with an amused cynicism; Bogart, the actor, he held in deep respect… In each of the fountains at Versailles there is a pike which keeps all the carp active; otherwise they would grow overfat and die. Bogie took rare delight in performing a similar duty in the fountains of Hollywood. Yet his victims seldom bore him any malice, and when they did, not for long. His shafts were fashioned only to stick into the outer layer of complacency, and not to penetrate through to the regions of the spirit where real injuries are done... He is quite irreplaceable. There will never be another like him." -John Huston's eulogy
