The First 70: California’s State Parks Being Closed

I had no idea but apparently California has started signing documents due to budget cuts to close 70 state parks. An idea that is absurd.

“Last May California announced plans to close one quarter of their 278 parks, a devastating move that is intended to save the state a mere $22 million per year. The closure list includes thousands of acres of park land, recreation areas, wildlife reserves, and 50% of the state’s historic parks. By July 2012 Californians will be bereft of 70 magnificent natural parks. The media has done little to disclose the ongoing closures or emphasize their impact.”

I know I have a lot of readers out in California. Please, please reblog this and find out how you can help by clicking here!

Sometimes I like to step out from behind the curtain and voice my opinion on certain cultural and political topics. Here today to do it for me is Patton Oswalt speaking on gay marriage and the Bible. Thanks Patton.

This looked way too cool not to share, it’s an iPad painting brush. Get one here. I wish I had an iPad to use one of these with!
