Insert a Trite Metaphor About a Corral

Posted on November 7, 2005 in Roundup

This roundup covers the period from 30 October 2005 through 6 November 2005.)

Rosa Parks was laid to rest and the campaign against AHnold came into full swing here in California. At this point, we’re not going after the man, but after his huge ego which believes he can swing heaven and earth to put his stamp on state politics for good. Hitched next to him are corporate interests which seek to undermine unions and preserve prescription drug prices that race well ahead of inflation. Some think we can trust measures introduced by these firms. I don’t.

But the news for the week has bloomed like a proteus flower and I am obligated to address many stamens of life:
