Judge blocks no-nudity rules

SAN ONOFRE � Nudists who congregate at the remote southern end of San Onofre State Beach can still let it all hang out, at least for a while longer.

A tentative ruling yesterday by an Orange County judge has halted plans by the state Parks and Recreation Department to enforce no-nudity rules after Labor Day.

WE WILL SURVIVE!

The California Coastal Commission voted at 11:18 pm Wednesday night to deny a coastal permit to the Transportation Corridor Agencies. It will now be much more difficult for the TCA to construct the Foothill-South (241) toll road extension.

The vote was 8-2 in favor of denying certification.
More to follow!

VOTES BY COMMISSIONER:

Blank � NO
Burke � YES
Clark � NO
Kram � YES
Neely � NO
Reilly � NO
Shallenberger � NO
Wan � NO
Kruer � NO
(some voters were inaudible due to cheering)

Some Coastal Commissioners had very tough questions and very tough language for the TCA. Here are my favorite excerpts:

Commissioner SARA WAN, herself a scientist, was "appalled" at what she called the TCA's "false science". She even suggested the TCA's management plan for the mouse was "not a management plan at all except perhaps as a plan to drive the Pacific pocket mouse into extinction."

Commissioner MIKE REILLY cited the "limited value" of the TCA's $100 Million offer, and declared that "there is no legal way for us to concur with certification of this project."

The real kicker was Commissioner STEVE BLANK, who grilled the hell out of new TCA CEO Tom Margro. Citing TCA's claims that the 241 would serve as an evacuation route in a nuclear disaster,

BLANK said, "I was led to understand [San Onofre Nuclear Generating Station's] operating license was contingent upon having an approved evacuation plan. Has the government declared their plan inadequate?"

MARGRO: No - but can I elaborate?

BLANK: No, thank you, you've answered the question.

Margo then cited the TCA's threat that it could cost $70 Million to renew the lease for the state park.

BLANK: "Has the Navy ever denied the renewal of a lease of a state park?"

MARGRO: "I can't answer that question."

BLANK: "I believe the answer is no."

Burke went on to cite law discussed in this blog (State Park Scare Tactics) which would potentially allow for the lease to be renewed at less than $70 Million .

BLANK: "Doesn�t this mean there is a clear path for the lease to be renewed at a price other than $70 Million dollars?"

MARGRO: "It's possible."

BLANK: �Since Navy didn�t ask for $70 million dollars � Is it possible that they might ask for a dollar in 2021?�

MARGRO: "If they make findings."

BLANK: "So really at best it's a $30 Million dollar proposal"

MARGRO: "I would say it is a $100 million dollar proposal � for state parks."

BLANK: "Or a $30 Million dollar proposal?"

MARGRO: "Or $30 million � which still benefits state parks."

BLANK: "I have another question - Is there a price tag for a state park?

MARGRO: "Not that I�m aware of."

Screenwriter's Blues

Exits to freeways
twisted like knots on
the fingers
jewels cleaving
skin between
breasts.

Your Cadillac breathes
four hundred horses
over blue lines
you are going
to Reseda
to make love
to a model
from Ohio
whose real name
you don't
know

you spin
like the cadillac was
overturning down a
cliff on television
and the radio is on
and the radioman is speaking
and the radioman says
women were a curse
so men built Paramount
studios
and men built Columbia
studios
and men built
Los Angeles

it is 5 am
and you are listening
to Los Angeles

And the radioman says
it is a beautiful night out there!
And the radioman says
Rock and Roll lives!
And the radioman says
it is a beautiful night out there
in Los Angeles
you live
in Los Angeles
and you are going to
Reseda; we are all
in some way or
another going to
Reseda someday
to die
and the radioman
laughs because
the radioman fucks
a model too

Gone savage
for teenagers with
automatic weapons and
boundless love
gone savage for
teenagers who are
aesthetically pleasing
in other words
fly
Los Angeles beckons
the teenagers
to come to her
on buses;
Los Angeles loves
love

it is 5 am
and you are listening
to Los Angeles

I am going to
Los Angeles
to built a screenplay about
lovers who
murder each
other
I am going to
Los Angeles
to see my own
name on a
screen, five feet
long and luminous
as the radioman says
it is 5 am
and the sun has charred
the other side of
the world and come
back to us
and painted the smoke
over our heads
an imperial violet
it is 5 am
and you are listening
to Los Angeles.

You are listening.
You are listening.
You are listening.
You are listening.

To Los Angeles...

Happy fair use day! Go quote something

Fair use is the smallest part of the public's side of copyright. Sure, we have the right to quote, time-shift, format-shift, transform and so on. But the big piece is all the stuff that copyright shouldn't/doesn't touch: selling used media, watching your movies no matter what country you're in, the right to privacy in the books you read, and so on. All these are under fire in the copyright wars (I once had an argument with a MPAA vice president who wanted to make it impossible to watch a movie anonymously)...
