Had to post this L.A. Times article, connected to our conversation tonight on politicians and legislation being bought and sold:

NFL stadium promoter gives $505,000 to state political campaigns

By Patrick McGreevy

January 29, 2010 | 7:01 p.m.

Ed Roski Jr., the L.A. County billionaire who got state legislators to exempt his proposed NFL stadium from environmental laws, has showered the lawmakers with tens of thousands of dollars in campaign cash.

The money is part of $505,000 that Roski put into California political campaigns during the second half of 2009, including $300,000 toward a proposed ballot measure that would change term limits for future legislators.

Couldn’t rest until I googled it.

We just watched it again the other night. Overall, very good film but the computer/wheel villain was the weakest part, the most cliche part of an inventive film.

Funny, but the thing that stayed with me from it was the fact that Twinkies and cockroaches survived planetary destruction completely unscathed. I’m sure the makers would be disappointed that that was my take-away! It is better than most kids’ films, though, I must say.
