Kill Bill Part 3

I'm so proud to be a Californian! Our illustrious governor Schwarzenegger vetoed 52 bills on Thursday. Among the bills he killed are proposals that would have: legalized gay marriage, raised the minimum wage, expanded penalties for employers who pay women less than men or resist paying workers' compensation claims, provided more oversight of the stem cell research program , protected California nurses from being required to work mandatory overtime or having to lift patients on their own, helped consumers buy cheaper prescription drugs from Canada, and allowed workers locked out by employers during wage disputes to collect unemployment benefits.

According to a recent poll by the Public Policy Institute of California, Schwarzenegger's approval rating has plummeted to 33%.

At least the weather's nice...
