The old crackpot is glad to see that California has taken care of it's biggest issue - the latches on gas pumps.
Now that that's out of the way, maybe they focus on more trivial things, like the state budget.
What a pathetic state of affairs and lack of priorities.

The iPhone 4 is the psycho girlfriend you can't break up with
Okay guys, you know what I'm talking about here. The iPhone 4 is the total psycho girlfriend you can't break up with because she's just so damn beautiful.
First of all, there's the antenna problem. God only knows why Apple allowed it to be released it was known two years prior, as some reports suggest, that Apple knew about the issue. I know, I know. The phone aspect of the iPhone is just a feature. This Apple fanboy has heard it all before.
But, damn, the phone is so comfortable to the touch and smooth to hold.
Then there's issue of spam that for some reason Apple can't seem incorporate a spam filter into the mail program - the same goes for the iPad in that area too. Hundreds of spams a day. Come on Jobsey, not all of can use providers who use good anti-spam technology on their servers. The filter is the best thing - I never see the spam on my iMac.
But damn, that iPhone retina screen is so fine to look at. You just can't stop staring at it.
But is’t so sensitive to the touch that it hangs up on you when you’re talking to someone on the phone feature if the screen gets too close to your face. It can be so sensitive that you don’t even feel yourself touch it and an app or a button or something will activate. That’s a WTF?.
But damn, it’s so smooth to the touch. The iPhone 4 is truly like the psycho girlfriend you can’t break up with.

Stop everything: California has a major crisis on its hands
The State of California has some pretty serious problems. Never mind the $19 billion budget shortfall, furloughed workers, the decaying state of education, illegal immigration or having to do more with less when it comes to emergency services. That’s not the state’s biggest problem, if you were to look at the Capitol buzz. Never mind the fact that Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger said he wouldn’t sign a budget if the legislators won’t send him a responsible plan and make it the next governor’s problem. That’s not a big deal compared to what’s brewing.
Here’s the big concern: gas clips. State administrators want them removed from gas pumps. You know, the clips on gas pumps that keep the pump running so you don’t have to hold the handle in place while your car fills and you can do something else. That’s a pretty big concern in Sacramento because there have been a whopping 10 spills reported over the past year because of the clips not disengaging when a tank filled.
Ten spills. There are around 37 million people in California, and as the Atlantic points out, that’s a 0.000001 percent failure rate. But that’s 0.000001 percent too much, and our protectors in Sacramento are on the case.
Get a life people, and go to work on the state’s real problems. Maybe there are too many people employed by the state if they have to sit around come up with make-work projects like this to have something to do.
