D-A-L-Y Is 4-Letter Word

SFGate writes, Supervisor Chris Daly’s name is the new four-letter word in 3 supervisor contests.

Daly’s at it again, trying to stack the board with his hand-picked cronies. A vote for them is a vote for him and his antics like his resolutions to ban the Junior ROTC and the Blue Angels which have helped him to become the least-popular politician citywide.

The San Francisco Association of Realtors is paying for robocalls in Districts One, Three and Eleven comparing some of the candidates to Daly.

The San Francisco Homeowners Council, a political committee affiliated with the Realtors’ group says:

“David Chiu is the handpicked candidate of far-out Supervisor Chris Daly and his radical, ineffective faction on the Board of Supervisors -like Daly’s antics, you will love Chiu.”

In addition to David Chiu, campaign mailers and television commercials are targeting Daly’s “puppets” Eric Mar in Disctrict One and Daly’s former aide John Avalos in District Eleven.

Anyone associated with D-a-l-y is a four-letter word. I can’t wait to vote him out of office!

Gavin’s Flaccid Package

Stimulate this!

Mayor Gavin Newsom unveiled his economic stimulus plan this week revealing a flaccid response to very recent economic woes.

1. Payments from state and federal governments to S.F. are down

2. Property transfer tax revenue is down. From $6.7 billion (gross sales, not the revenue from the transfer tax) in calendar 2007 to just slightly over $1 billion for the first 8.5 months of 2008.

3. SF will be affected by the general macroeconomic slowdown.

4. Retail sales are down in S.F.

5. Business tax revenue will go down.

6. The newly strengthened dollar will hurt S.F., like reduced tourism for example.

The most recent economic data released by the Controller’s Office shows the city’s unemployment rate was at 5.9 percent in August; a year ago it was at 4.6 percent. Still, the state’s unemployment rate, for example, was 7.7 percent in August.

Greenwashing to the Governor’s Mansion

Saadia Malik of the San Francisco Bay Guardian [SFBG] takes a look at Gavin Newsom’s newest green initiatives:

 

GREEN CITY Mayor Gavin Newsom has made a high profile push for several new green initiatives in recent weeks, a concerted political move that comes just as he and his political team are aggressively working to subvert a city ballot measure that would make far bigger gains in combating climate change and greening the city’s energy portfolio than anything he’s proposing.

Julian Davis, campaign manager for Proposition H, the Clean Energy Act, told the Guardian:

“San Franciscans should be ashamed that they have a mayor who is greenwashing and gay washing his way to the governor’s mansion.”  

Newsom opposes Proposition H, which would direct the San Francisco Public Utilities Commission to figure out how to provide clean and renewable energy to the city, and Pacific Gas & Electric Co. has hired Newsom’s chief political strategist, Eric Jaye, to lead the multimillion dollar campaign to defeat the measure.

Davis said the steady stream of green initiatives from the Mayor’s Office are simply a means to make up for the mayor’s severe deficiency in environmental credibility.

Schwarzenegger In Total Recall

According to SacBee.com, a “powerful and well-heeled” correctional officers’ union is petitioning for the recall of Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger. The union needs over $1 million to cull the 1,041,530 signatures to qualify a recall for the ballot.

This comes one the 70th day of the 2008-09 fiscal year that California has been without a budget, the longest standoff in California history. If you recall, CA voters “recalled ex-Gov. Gray Davis one year after the second-longest budget impasse, the 2002 budget.”

Lance Corcoran, spokesperson of the California Correctional Peace Officers Association, says the reason for the recall is, “In the history of bad governors, this is the worst governor we’ve ever had.” He went on to say:

This is a man who is a poser. That’s what he did, that’s how he made his living, posing.

Corcoran said the “straw that broke the camel’s back” was the governor’s executive order this summer to temporarily slash the pay of state workers to the federal minimum wage. The governor did so to conserve cash during the budget impasse.

While some state workers, including the public safety officers of the California Highway Patrol, were exempted en masse, the employees of the Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation were not.

Obama Snub Still Rubs Newsom

I stumbled across an interesting post on the C.W. Nevius Blog, asserting Gavin Newsom is still rankled by Barack Obama snub dating back to 2004.

Allegedly, when Gavin Newsom was the poster boy for gay-friendly straight men everywhere, did Barack Obama shy away from having his picture taken with the San Francisco mayor?

Newsom insiders say yes; Obama insiders call the claim “ridiculous.”

Perhaps, that is why Newsom supported Hillary Clinton? There are some who think this story was a calculated move to drive gay voters to Hillary. And there are others, like former SF mayor Willie Brown, who see good reason why Obama, then running for U.S. Senate, might’ve have shied away from connecting himself with gay marriage back at a time when the idea was see nas much more “radical” than it is today.

Blood On Newsom’s Hands

San Francisco Sells Sanctuary: Bill O’Reilly

The man charged with killing a father and two sons on a San Francisco street last month was one of the youths who benefited from the city’s long-standing practice of shielding illegal immigrant juveniles who committed felonies from possible deportation.

Edwin Ramos, now 21, is being held on three counts of murder in the June 22 deaths of Tony Bologna, 48, and his sons Michael, 20, and Matthew, 16. They were shot near their home in the Excelsior district when Tony Bologna, driving home from a family picnic, briefly blocked the gunman’s car from completing a left turn down a narrow street.

Ramos had been in trouble before. In 2003, when he was 17, he was found guilty of attempted robbery and assaulting a San Francisco Municipal Transportation Authority passenger. Last March, he was detained for several days after police found a gun used in a double homicide in the car he was driving. And then came June 22, when Anthony Bologna’s car prevented Ramos from turning left at an intersection. San Francisco police say Ramos opened fire with an AK-47 assault rifle, killing Bologna and his two sons, Michael and Matthew, who were driving home from a family barbecue.

Ramos is a native of El Salvador. He is an undocumented immigrant and an alleged member of the Mara Salvatrucha gang, also known as MS-13. And despite his previous scrapes with the law and his juvenile felony convictions, Ramos has never been deported – a fact that has put him at the center of a debate over San Francisco’s so-called “sanctuary law”.

The triple homicide has prompted conservative commentators including Rush Limbaugh, Bill O’Reilly and Lou Dobbs to weigh in – O’Reilly called the city of San Francisco “completely out of control and now directly responsible for the murders of three men.”

Jennifer Seibel & Gavin Newsom Wedding

Mayor Gavin Newsom took a little breather from busy job as a Crime Fighter and one giant step towards a Political Makeover to advance his Gav4Gov ambitions, marring actress Jennifer Siebel on Saturday at Siebel’s parents’ Montana Ranch.

It is the 34-year-old Siebel’s first marriage and the second for Newsom, who divorced legal analyst Kimberly Guilfoyle in March 2006.

Newsom met Siebel in October 2006 and they have been together ever since. Siebel was at Newsom’s side when he was sworn in for his second term as mayor in January. She also stood by him after he publicly admitted to having had an affair with a staff member’s wife and a drinking problem.

U.S. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi traveled to Montana to attend the wedding as did other friends and family. Conspiculously, Senator Dianne Feinstein was not invited.

Newsom Back Behind Bars

Nope, not San Francisco Mayor Gavin Newsom’s favorite watering hole, Plumpjack and Balboa Cafe owned by Newsom and former socialite pal, Billy Getty.

Rather, an unusual jailhouse visit to obtain access codes to the city’s computer network.

City engineer Terry Childs had been accused of withholding the access codes and has been jailed since July 13 on felony counts. Prosecutors said he was trying to block access to a vital city network.

A team of code crackers brought in from Cisco Systems had been working around the clock to try to decipher Childs’ codes, but with only marginal success.

Then, Childs’ lawyer, Erin Crane, called the mayor’s office Monday afternoon, offering a jailhouse meeting.

“It wasn’t cheap and I just couldn’t see us keep spending that kind of money”

Without hesitation, the mayor acted to pay a secret visit to the jail and waled away with the codes. He was there inside of thirty minutes.

• Do not contact City Attorney, Kamila Harris.
• Do not contact Chief of Police, Heather Fong.
• Do Pass Go, Do Collect $200!

The lawyer says Childs had been the victim of a plot to force him out of his job. I admire both Child’s enginuity born of his necessity, not compunction, to leverage his hand to win an audiance with the mayor, attempting to navagate through the murky judicial system as well as Newsom’s willingness to quickly grant it on the City’s behalf – saving taxpayers money!

This is just another reason why Gavin Newsom does NOT suck indeed!
