Thankfully they can laugh about it after their initial reactions. So scary: Chris Schauble and Megan Henderson are thankfully having fun with it on both Twitter and Instagram , but as SoCal native Megan said, it is always scary. More to come today at TWD.

The Break #2 For 5/12/10: By A 13-1 Vote, Los Angeles Boycotts Business With Arizona

I wonder who the lone vote was to not boycott : Here's the full story . Los Angeles on Wednesday became the largest city yet to boycott Arizona over its tough new law targeting illegal immigration in a move that likely will affect some $8 million in contracts with the state. The City Council voted 13-1 to bar Los Angeles from conducting business with Arizona unless the law is repealed. "Los Angeles is the second-largest city in this country. An immigrant city, an international city needs to have its voice heard," Councilman Ed Reyes said. The vote followed an emotional council discussion during which many members noted that their ancestors were U.S. immigrants. Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa already has said he would approve the boycott.
