The elections results were pretty much what we expected in terms of candidates&#8217; victories. No real surprises in either the Democratic or Republican camps.

Here is The Filter&#8217;s full show, which features interviews with Carly Fiorina and Tom Campbell among other elections-related segments. (Did you know that Tom Campbell was okay with gay marriage because he&#8217;s &#8220;anti big government?&#8221;  No?  I didn&#8217;t either.  Logical consistency in the realm of politics is startling wherever you find it.)

Okay here are the ballot measure recs:

PROPOSITION 13 &#8211; YES 
Prop 13&#8217;s an easy yes.  A no brainer. It means that, if you&#8217;re a building owner, and you want to make your building safer in our earthquake prone state by retrofitting the thing, you won&#8217;t pay higher property taxes because you have been a [...]]]></description>

On top of his grief over his Marine officer son&#8217;s death, Albert Snyder had to endure protesters Westboro Baptist Church  disrupting the funeral with signs that bore messages like: &#8220;Semper Fi Fags,&#8221; &#8220;Thank God for Dead Soldiers.&#8221;  Distraught and furious, Snyder sued the Westboro [...]]]></description>

Okay, here are the videos from Thursday&#8217;s The Filter.  As I said earlier, I was on with former city council member, Jack Weiss, who&#8212;in addition to cultural commentator Amy Alkon&#8212;is  my favorite partner when I do a segment of the show.
