Go Vote

Tuesday, December 9th, 2003 · 1 Comment

While giving my beautiful wife a birthday ride to work this morning, we passed corner after corner of yellow Gonzalez signs. I honked in support at each passing. It was a great feeling to see so much support for he who will be the next mayor of San Francisco and the first Green party mayor […]

Gonzalez Rally

Monday, December 8th, 2003 · Comments Off on Gonzalez Rally

The photo on the front page of today’s Chronicle was taken around the corner from my house yesterday afternoon — outside the Jamba Juice at 9th and Irving here in the Inner Sunset. In fact, the after-party crew was having brunch just across the street at Howard’s Cafe. We heard the cheers and, knowing that […]

Matt Gonzalez

Wednesday, November 5th, 2003 · Comments Off on Matt Gonzalez

Did you remember to vote yesterday? I sure hope so. I haven’t seen the numbers, but I would guess that due to the lack of an action hero running for any public office, the number of people who turned out to vote yesterday wasn’t as high as the number who voted last month. The greatest […]

Ironic

Wednesday, October 15th, 2003 · Comments Off on Ironic

Anyone who knows me or has been reading my blog for a while knows where I stand politically. With that in mind, here’s the ultimate irony: I just got a call from the staffer of Rebublican Congressman Tom Delay (from Texas, at that!) inviting me to become a “California Chairman of the Business Advisory Council.” […]

Recall Blues

Wednesday, October 8th, 2003 · 1 Comment

Apparently entertainment and government are no longer different. California voters yesterday voted to recall Gray Davis 55% to 45% and Arnold Schwarzenegger was elected by a landslide to replace him. The giant headline in this morning’s Chronicle is Schwarzenegger Leads Voter Revolt, followed by a number of other stories. Fair enough. Unfortunate, yes, but the […]

Bush Blog

Tuesday, October 7th, 2003 · 2 Comments

Following in the footsteps of Howard Dean and Kicking Ass, the blog of the Democratic National Committee, the Bush-Cheney camp now has an official blog. Ha! It’s basically a continuous press release machine in disguise. And, as Kicking Ass points out, all posts are hidden behind the clever name “GeorgeWBush.com,” so there’s zero sense of […]
