It’s that time again. Midterm elections are beginning to be the talk of the nation once more. With more than a month until election day, major news stations are beginning their up-to-the-minute coverage of pre-election news.
We see the media excitement is building, and with it, the encouragment of people to get out there and vote.
Last night on his program, Countdown with Keith Olbermann, MSNBC's Olbermann featured extended excerpts from Monday's speech by Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger on the anniversary of the passage of AB32, the state's climate change law.
Speaking at The Commonwealth Club's Climate One program in Silicon Valley, Schwarzenegger took off his (rhetorical) gloves and sharply criticized the forces that have pushed a repeal or freeze of AB32. Watch the video yourself from MSNBC.
The newest edition of The Commonwealth, the members' magazine of The Commonwealth Club of California, is in the mail at this moment. If you're a member, watch your mailbox for the October/November 2010 issue, which is filled with interesting people and thought-provoking and even controversial ideas.
Roz Savage & David Kroodsma, Robert Reich, Climate Change Effects on Animal and Plant Species, Roelof van Ark, New Member Reception, Robert Sutton, P.J. O'Rourke, Pirates, More Pirates, Thomas Keller, & Frank Spinelli.
So there are no excuses for not having anything to do this week!
