State of the State: Greatly strained, but not hopeless

I rather liked Governor Schwarzenegger's State of the State address today. I believe he tried to present hope without whitewashing California's financial situation. I hope legislators will not whine, but will instead pull together to work on a budget that will be leaner and will allow for the basics to get done. And I hope they won't be afraid to tell special interest groups that the general needs of the state must come first.

Quote Of The Moment
It had long since come to my attention that people of accomplishment rarely sat back and let things happen to them. They went out and happened to things.
