KMEC 105.1FM: Alberto Torrico on Arnold Schwarzenegger's end game Bond rating agencies have downgraded California debt to one notch above junk bond status, and, California has began issuing IOUs, and generating rules for identifying geniuine vs. counterfeit IOUs, both of which now seem likely to be traded speculatively, on E-Bay and Craigslist. Arnold Schwarzenegger and California Democrats remain in budget deadlock, explained by Assembly Majority Leader Alberto Torrico on KMEC 91.5 FM.

On Rwandan President Paul Kagame's Re-Election Stage Play I spoke to Jerome McDonald of Chicago Public Radio's "World View" about what was widely being reported as the re-election of Paul Kagame, though I pointed out that the so-called election was really just a stage play with a few hand picked bit part players running against Kagame. I emphasized, as I have again and again, that as a U.S. citizen, my overarching concern is the Pentagon's
