Random Scandal Sheet for Sunday 4/4/10

What California is talking about this week (yep, I'm still in the desert on vacation):

Wherein CA is no different than the rest of the country, folks are talking about Eryka Badu flashing her grassy knoll at the grassy knoll and Tiger's facing of the media on Monday (where I want him to say, "Look, I play a sport where the goal is to get it in the hole as quickly as possible over and over again, hole after hole -- based on my extreme success there, are you all really surprised that I decided to apply that strategy in my personal life?") ...

Wherein CA is unique because it's facing a governor's election this year and a primary that is just two months away, local news stations are already full of attack ads, and, this being California, people are talking about the claims flying around about immigration ('back of the line and pay a fine' is an interesting summation of one mudslinging piece) ...

But, ultimately, it's Easter ... so let's skip over that muck and hop on down the bunny trail of Easter related news scandals. See if you can guess how many of these are actual 2010 Easter scandals (and note the one that has a local CA connection):
