LAT editors' bad mood

On Friday, August 15th, cranky LAT editors argued:

1. All Californians are guilty of mistreating prisoners of the state's penal system. The prisoners need $8 billion for health care. California has a $15 billion budget deficit. Combined, California has a $23 billion problem. Where will the money come from? The LAT's answer: wherever.

2. Now that Pelosi has done an about face on offshore drilling, Republicans are playing hardball. They want her to grovel. Republicans ought to sign on to her poison pill, the LAT argues.

3. Mukasey shouldn't be talking truth to powerful Democrats. He ought to hang Goodling, Gonzales and the rest. Commission of a crime isn't necessary, the LAT argues.
