Nobody seems to be happy with the new budget California lawmakers passed and Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger signed. A lot of draconian budget cuts and tax increases.
They could have done what I did: make some recent ScuttleButton puzzles so easy that everyone would have come away feeling happy about themselves.
