Whitman Spending Reaches $141 Million

According to Steve Lopez of the L.A. Times, republican gubernatorial candidate Meg Whitman has spent $141 million dollars in pursuit of becoming California's first female Governor.

The L.A. Times reports that with the money she has spent so far, it would be enough to buy every Californian two medium Domino's pizza with two toppings of your choice. The L.A. Weekly also adds "wouldn't you rather have had the pizzas?"

Wonder what we would get from Jerry Brown's campaign, a half tank of gas?

Plenty of stars and fireworks at today's opening session. Matt Lauer called on both gubernatorial candidates to pull their negative TV ads form the air. Jerry Brown agreed as long as Meg Whitman would follow suit.

Eve Ensler gave the crowd of 15 thousand a moving reading about her battles with cancer.

Chief Justices Sandra Day O'Conner and Ruth Bader Ginsburg spoke about their experiences during the their tenures at the Supreme Court.

L.A.'s Dopest Attorneys

Bruce Margolin and his daughter Allison are featured in a L.A. Weekly article on prop 19, the initiative that would legalize pot in California.

Bruce, the dean of weed defense, has defended thousands of pot cases along with his Harvard Law grad daughter and law partner Allison, "L.A.'s dopest attorney."

I photographed the duo for the L.A. Weekly article between their bong hits, client meetings, and yoga poses. We finally came up with this idea for a pose. Bruce wanted to sit cross legged and meditate, Allison was to read from a law book like she was his beautiful dream.

I want to re-name them as "L.A.'s coolest attorneys".
