From the Chronicle.... TWO CENTS Another state Schwarzenegger would be better at governing? Sunday, November 13, 2005 Another state Schwarzenegger would be better at governing? Bridget Rivero, San Francisco How about the state of denial? Miriam Rosenau, Berkeley A red one! Sam Gutierrez, San Leandro He'd be successful running any state -- except California. The obstructionist Democratic Legislature, which opposed Prop. 77, will do anything to stay in power, without a care about how far they drag us down. Ethan Bortman, Moraga Actually, no. Not that I think he's doing a good job here, but California is probably the best fit as it has a history of launching the political careers of second-rate actors. Doris Mendell, Albany How about the state of Afghanistan, where women exist for and at the pleasure of men? Lesley Walsh, San Francisco If distance is a criteria, how about Guam? Or Alaska? On the other hand, California inflicted Ah-nold on itself, and it's only fair that we should be stuck with him until the next gubernatorial election. Ted Mavrakos, Concord Yes -- a state that had a legislative body that had a modicum of sense and fiscal responsibility. Guy Smith, Alameda South California, after we split this open-air asylum in two. Two Cents is a pool of Bay Area residents we tap for comments and anecdotes.

The new media venture aims to bring together bloggers, journalists and commentators under a single umbrella to provide compelling content in a single source. Pajamas Media will use this investment to build out its operations and marketing efforts and to expand its news and opinion coverage. The company will also rename itself at its official launch on Nov. 16 in New York. Upon its official debut, Pajamas Media will feature content from more than 70 bloggers — G.W. pajamasmedia.com pajamasmedia.com ----------------------------------- IMO, this looks like a conservative version of the HuffingtonPost blog...we'll find out soon enough...;-)
