Same Sex Domestic Partner Benefits & the UAW contract

We just received notice that many if not all of the recent UAW contracts just signed provide for UAW-LSP benefits for same sex domestic partners. I don't know if this extends to all of their benefits.


The Real California Governor's Race

With all the talk about Arnold beating Bustamonte, not enough attention is given to th real race. The race for dignity among the also-rans.

Here's the interesting part:

Arianna Huffington 42,227
Peter V. Ueberroth 21,561
Larry Flynt 15,112
Gary Coleman 12,514

Huffington virtually doubled Ueberroth even though Huffington dropped out. Still think you were a serious candidate Pete? Larry squeaked by Gary.

In the race for affirmation at the bottom, among the candidates that I have, here are the results:

Gene Forte 190
Todd Richard Lewis 171

Todd has nothing to be ashamed of though, I don't know if I could get 171 people to vote for me. On a vote-per-dollar spent basis, I suspect that he was right up there with the big boys.
