If you live in California and you love freedom, then I suggest you hurry out to your shed and fetch your pitchfork. Here's the latest:

As state leaders hunt for politically palatable solutions to the swelling budget shortfall, some Democrats are proposing unorthodox ways to generate cash.

I have written a nice poem that I think crystallizes my feelings:

First they came for the trans-fats

but I was not a lard-ass, so I did not speak up;

Then they came for my recyclables

but I am not a dolphin, so I didn't care;

Then they came for the smokers

and I kept silent, because I considered myself a social smoker;

And when they came for my beer, porn, and rock

there was no one left to speak up for me.
