California is attempting to balance the budget...so the headlines now read "Aren't you glad you are in California?" with photos of the stormy Midwest. Then the photos demonstrating the unrest in Egypt. Nevermind that those photos could soon be California. People are hungry here too. Finally, the budgetary issues are carefully tucked inside because the solution...are you ready?...means more taxes. I skip to the comics first.

All snow jokes are growing cold with me. Personally, I would prefer to buried under the snow and not more taxes.
