I'm surprised GWB and the Republican congress even acknowledge CA as part of the union. With the exception of Ahnold, what has CA contributed to mainstream America in recent years?

9th Circus Court of Appeals. Barbara Boxer. Gray Davis. Willie Brown. Uh...San Francisco. Scott Peterson, Robert Blake, O.J. Simpson, Rodney King. Kobe Bryant. Hollywood.

And, if you want to go back a generation: Charlie Manson and Watts.

With apologies to Freepers and other normal people trapped out there, let's face it: it's a waste of real estate.

Recent years? Not much. But if you go back more than a few, you'll leave out RR and RMN, so be nice. LOL. Some of us *are* trapped out here.
