Fair and Balanced

In the interests of fairness, the esteemed governor Schwarzenegger also signed into law bills that will: make it easier for celebreties to collect substantial damages from overly aggressive paparazzi, require insurers to pay up to two years' worth of temporary housing costs for fire victims in a disaster area while their homes are being rebuilt, require health clubs to keep automatic external defibrillators on hand and teach their staff how to use and maintain them, require pharmacists to fill prescriptions such as morning-after birth control pills even if they have moral objections to their use, extend low-cost insurance to low-income drivers with good driving records in various counties in California, and impose penalties of up to $2,500 per violation for using email to deceive consumers into divulging personal private information such as Social Security numbers or credit card numbers by posing as legitimate businesses. All of these bills were sponsored by Democrats, as were all of the ones he vetoed.
