Anglides blamed both Bush and Schwarzenegger for everything from rising gas prices to spiraling health care costs while accusing them of consistently siding with big business and the wealthy against working people. "They are on the same team," Angelides said. "They act the same way. They favor the wealthy and hurt those who are working and I just think that California needs a governor who is going to be on the side of hard working families."

He mortgaged seven acres of his land in lieu of a debt of Rs 5 lakh. However, the farmer succeeded in taking possession of his land. At a panchayat meeting last year, three acres of land was given to the moneylender, while the remaining was retained by the farmer.

The sources said the entire episode took an ugly turn last night when Sulakhan Singh and his brother Makhan Singh went to irrigate their field. Parshottam Lal and his aides allegedly fired at the farmer. A gunshot hit on the left side of his chest, the mark of which was clearly visible. The farmers family members said they fired in the air eight times before injuring him.

This week we take a look at problems at the edge of the economy which threaten to derail not only the recent robust growth (at least in the statistics) but also the markets. And we start with a personal story which I think will help us understand the current situation. Stay with me here. A Thanksgiving Fire Drill Last Thursday, we sat down for a massive Thanksgiving dinner at my 21st floor apartment in Dallas. All seven kids, my 90-year-old mother, and an assortment of friends and relatives (about 15 of us) started to work on a 16-pound prime rib, 18-pound turkey, and massive amounts of potatoes, mushrooms, and lots more.
