The Day I Kissed a Guy at the Liberty Bell Tuesday, July 3, 2007 : I grew up in South Philly not far from where the Liberty Bell resided in historic Independence Hall, but I never actually saw the famed cracked bell until I was well into my 30s. I don’t think anyone in my working-class, Italian neighborhood ever had. When you live that close to something, you tend to take it for granted....

Nunez Sacrifices Labor Rights for Careerism Tuesday, July 3, 2007 : Fabian Nunez’s ascension to Speaker of the California Assembly was seen as a landmark achievement for the state’s Latino-labor alliance, and for progressive interests. But with his three-terms in the Assembly ending in 2008, Nunez has apparently decided to sacrifice his longstanding commitment to progressive principles in order to help passage of a February 2008 ballot initiative that would give him three additional terms....

America’s Worst Disaster: the Re-Election of George Bush Tuesday, July 3, 2007 : I’ll never forget how horrible I felt the day after George Bush was re-elected. I couldn’t get out of bed until 1:00 p.m., and stumbled out of the house to get breakfast. When a sad old man in the restaurant asked me what I thought about the election results, I said, “you might as well ask me about September 11.” November 2, 2004 will go do down as one of the worst disasters in modern American history....

San Francisco the City that knows how has NO sitting Epidemiologist San Francisco the City that knows how does not have a sitting Epidemiologist. Now, how could that happen with the current increase of AIDS and other such diseases. The bombardment of Asbestos Dust and other toxic dust in and around Parcel A - with the SF Health Department looking the other way. The SF Health Department with a $1 Billion dollar budget and growing is a disgrace to the human race. Some one must take responsibility - but before that Dr. Mitch Katz must go - he must resign....

Newsom Camp Split Over Approach to Board Monday, July 2, 2007 : The recent debate over Mayor Newsom’s proposed “community court” revealed an ongoing split between the mayor’s political and policy camps. After Board President Aaron Peskin wisely reduced the proposed court’s budget from $750,000 to $500,000, and joined his Budget Committee colleagues in putting the money on reserve, Newsom re-election campaign manager Eric Jaye publicly attacked the move....

Gavin Newsom's Legacy Monday, July 2, 2007 : I smiled at published statements from the Mayor's Office that he wants to eliminate bus stops to speed up Muni. What a legacy Gavin Newsom is creating! First he suggested getting rid of public trash cans, now elimination of already underserved bus stops. In my seven decades of living in San Francisco, I can't remember any elected official ever accomplishing less that our current Mayor, running unopposed at this time, and issuing a barrage of press releases announcing mo...
