i came down about like climbing down the stairs and the bear was right here where we stand. reporter: he bolted back to his apartment and the bear followed. this fence was no obstacle. the bear maybe would have stayed in the yard longer had the jacuzzi cover been off. he jumped over the jacuzzi and from there, he jumped over the fence. reporter: the department of fish and game with sheriff s deputies close by fired two tranquilizer darts. but a beefy bear like this one would need more to doze off. sometimes the size and the fat and the bear s metabolism affects how the drug works. reporter: another injection did the trick. lieutenant martin wall prepared an ear tag to identify the bear. he pulled out number 210, which happens to be the closest freeway. we test reflexes like eyelashes and lips. sensitive areas. and he s not reacting. i just squeezed the ear tag into

compare absolutely the political culture which does depend on compromise and represent, as it does, the congressional interests of each of the districts in the senate, and the white house, as well. but i think that there s a longing, as i go across the country, for everyone to take a deep breath and say, let s establish some well-defined goals that we know are out there. and that s what i try to write about here. and come to terms with education, housing proportion, how the political culture works. i quote bart giamatti saying don t become hostages to someone else as orthodoxy. there s an awful lot of that now. everybody gets ear tagged. that s a western phrase. that s what they do with calves, they put an ear tag on them. now everybody s a conservative or a liberal. that s how they get judged early and often and it stays for too long. we need to get everyone involved in this dialogue, i think. and i guess the question is what breaks that? i mean you could say we could solve some thi

if washington ran it, this is why leadership and brokering compromise need to be the major skill sets in the next president. yeah. you know, it s really unfair to compare absolutely the political culture which does depend on compromise and represent, as it does, the congressional interests of each of the districts in the senate, and the white house, as well. but i think that there s a longing, as i go across the country, for everyone to take a deep breath and say, let s establish some well-defined goals that we know are out there. and that s what i try to write about here. and come to terms with education, housing proportion, how the political culture works. i quote bart giamatti saying don t become hostages to someone else as orthodoxy. there s an awful lot of that now. everybody gets ear tagged. that s a western phrase. that s what they do with calves, they put an ear tag on them. now everybody s a conservative or a liberal. that s how they get judged early and often, and it stays
