What's wrong with this picture
LOS ANGELES (Reuters) - California Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger signed a law on Friday tripling damages celebrities can win from paparazzi if they are assaulted during a shoot and denying the photographers profits from any pictures taken during an altercation.
AND YET . . .
SAN FRANCISCO (AFP) - California's embattled movie star governor, Arnold Schwarzenegger, formally vetoed a landmark law that would have legalized gay marriage in the Golden state.
VETOES ON THESE BILLS AS WELL THAT . . .
• Would have provided more state oversight of the stem cell research institute created by voters last year through Proposition 71. SB 18, written by Sen. Deborah Ortiz (D-Sacramento), passed the Legislature with overwhelming bipartisan support, but Schwarzenegger said the proposition had decreed that new laws could not be passed until three years after it was created.
• Would have outlawed mandatory overtime for nurses. AB 1184, sponsored by Assemblyman Paul Koretz (D-West Hollywood), was written by the Service Employees International Union. Schwarzenegger said mandatory overtime was necessary to meet staffing ratios that he tried this year to dilute.
• Would have made it easier for class-action lawsuits to be filed against employers that fail to pay the minimum wage or obey overtime laws. Schwarzenegger said SB 174, by Sen. Joe Dunn (D-Santa Ana), could have led to "shakedown" lawsuits.
BECAUSE HE WON'T EVER HAVE TO WORRY ABOUT MINIMUM WAGE
• Would have increased the damages that workers could obtain from employers who paid them less because they were female. Schwarzenegger rejected AB 169 by Assemblywoman Jenny Oropeza (D-Long Beach) because, he said, existing penalties were "stiff" enough.
CAUSE HE'S A MALE WHO MAKES MILLIONS
• Would have increased penalties on employers who resisted paying workers' compensation claims (SB 1023 by Dunn).
• Would have required the state to set up a website directing Californians to pharmacies in Canada, Ireland and Britain where they could get prescription drugs at cheaper prices (AB 73 by Assemblyman Dario Frommer, D-Glendale).
BECAUSE WHO CARES IF ALL THE PREVIOUS (THOSE NURSES AND UNDERPAID WOMEN AND FOLKS ENTITLED TO WORKERS COMPENSATION WHO DON'T GET IT) CAN AFFORD A PRESCRIPTION. IT'S NOT LIKE THEY CAN'T RUN OUT AND MAKE A MOVIE AND THEN SUE THE PAPARAZZI TO PAY FOR IT.

The Gropinator - friend of the rich and famous foe of the average California citizen. Hopefully he won't be back.
