california has an estimated 200,000 domestic workers, comprised of housekeepers, nannies, and care givers for children, care givers for the elderly and disabled. the work in private households to care for the health and safety and well-being of many families and homes. domestic workers have historically been excluded from basic labor laws which serve to protect workers. the fair labor standards act of 1938, which congress enacted to ensure a fair day's pay for a fair day paperwork excluded domestic workers from its protection. domestic workers are the backbone of california's economy. they do hard work that makes all our work possible and are entitled to the same basic protections as other members of the workforce. domestic workers work alone, behind closed doors, and out of the public eye, leaving them vulnerable to abuse and exploitation and unable to abdicate collectively for better working conditions. domestic workers often labor under harsh conditions for long hours and low wages, without benefits of job security, and face termination without notice or severance pay, leaving many sud

this was donated to us by his daughter, nanny. he wrote many of his famous books during the 1970s, and we're happy to have this typewriter. he was not a fan of high technology, and he did not use a computer. he preferred to, to use a typewriter through his dying day. he liked to work in his home on an office chair and a coffee table. he would slump over his typewriter. he, vonnegut would go out into the world every day. he talks about how he had learned that you could buy postage stamps over the internet, and he just thought that was horrible because then, you know, if he chose that route, he would not have the everyday experience of going to the post office. and those everyday experiences and the people he encountered during his daily walks were the basis for some of his stories. he met a number of very interesting characters in new york city, and going out and meeting people, you know, was a way for him to capture new material for his works. vonnegut is timeless because these issues, you know, we still have the same issues. we'r

the rather old-fashioned idea that god is the kind of punisher and rewarder, rather like an english nanny who's going to rap you on the fingers. whereas in fact hell is, in orthodox terms, is simply our refusal to accept the love of god, our inability to accept it. and that exists on earth as it does after death. we can be living in hell right now if we do not accept the love that is openly given us by god, the father and the son. that is what hell is. heaven is simply the ability to let go of your pride and let god in. chris: is this an after-life discussion or is this a current life? >> it's both. it's both. if you believe that our souls are eternal, then obviously the souls still exist on earth. but our time orte is the ability on moment of choice whether to be loved or whether to say we do not deserve to be loved. chris: don't hold back, kids. >> i'm there with him. chris: go ahead. >> you know, i'm the jew on the panel with four catholics, i think, but doesn't the list proclaim the mysteries of faith? celebrate the mysteries. these are mysteries. and as john kennedy said here on eart

man and his actions i think it's different correct i mean in your editorial you said you know this nanny to talking to you to your children how do you know they get talking to you when they you know misbehaved. but if there's a difference between americans coming out coming out in the media coming out together and saying we condemn this action and actually punishing him you know not arresting him i don't know what the punishment would be i mean what's do you think that he should be funded that he should be arrested. well that's a great point and i should tell you i'm a i'm a journalist and i was trained as a journalist i wasn't trained as a juror as there was a lawyer so i will tell you that just from my understanding of the first amendment as least as i've read it and studied it through my professors dr gilmore at the university of minnesota. when we use the term free speech people tend to think that it's completely free without restriction speech is not free without restrictions there are restrictions on what you can say for example you're not allowed to libel someone and as oliver wen

[ laughter ] i guess that's good there's nothing else to do. this is why it's important to set reasonable goals for yourself. if your goal is to go to the moon, you're probably going to be disappointmented. but if your goal is to buy hand backs and stand in places, you're all set. you know, we could make her the official state pothole filler. that's something that needs to be done. she met all her goals and now paris hilton plans to gracefully step aside so that younger women can crash their cars and not wear underpants. that's nice. love was in the air this morning at "live with regis and kelly." carrie ann inaba was filling in her kelly. at the end of the show, her boyfriend surprised her with a marriage proposal. watch regis here, because he is so close to the action, i'm r
