Jared's personal blog roundup of the 2008 California Propositions was one of the hottest blogs on the WordPress blogging system this week. As this hot political season winds down, Jared and Dean recap the California ballot measures and chime in about what is next for some of these measures on Saturday's show.

When will we have the bullet train? Does this put California into serious deeper debt problems? Are food prices going to increase for California meats because of Proposition 2 by 25% as some people claim? Are we all going to be stuck eating meat from Mexico? Did the children's hospitals really need the additional funds?
