Obama the Prankster???

I had to post this - just for the humour factor!  Republican Member of Congress Ileana Ros-Lehtinen hung up on President Elect Obama twice because she thought he was a radio station trying to prank her.  The first time she hung up on Mr. Obama directly and the second time hung up on him via Rahm Emanuel's attempt to connect them.  *sigh* how will our executive and legislators ever talk if they think each is just some joker from a radio station... :-/

California Gay Marriage Poll

Just because I'm kind of into stats and polling and data that pretty much confirms preconceptions.  The Religion part was not at all surprising but many people fail to consider that the lower educated and lower income groups (for some reason) tend to be more conservative than their better educated and middle income counterparts...  The strong support of the ban from the Latino population shouldn't come as much of a surprise - just considering how many hold strong Christian views.

ODOT plans for SR315 /SR750 Interchange

Shoring up an eroding river bank, adding in turn lanes where 2 very busy State Routes (at 1 lane in each direction each) cross... not a bad idea!  Here's hoping ODOT doesn't mess this up and make things worse than they are now.  The jury's still out on how helpful the new light is with the turn arrow on SR750 WestBound at that intersection.  I guess we'll see what we see after they design this thing once the input period is over...
