Today

Back in the office (see pix) after two days on the road. Lots of items to post today.

Phil Angelides and his staff flew back on my Southwest flight from Burbank. He greeted a few people after boarding, saying: "Hello ... Phil Angelides." Two of his daughters were with him. His staff scattered themselves throughout the plane.

Phil sat toward the front reading Nancy Vogel's piece in the L.A. Times about Schwarzenegger signing legislation to divest in companies that prop up the Sudanese government. I wonder if Phil noticed he wasn't mentioned until the 20th paragraph, well after George Clooney.

Angelides is mostly staying out of the spotlight today — radio and other media interviews, a fund-raiser and whatnot — while Schwarzenegger does photo-op bill signings in dramatic locations.
