  • PTAG, you’re it

    The next big Alameda battle which will reshuffle the supporters and opponents of Measure B will be the battle over the next school parcel tax.   With both parcel taxes set to sunset in order to ensure that Alameda Unified School District doesn’t collapse (close Encinal?  what?) a parcel tax will need [...]

  • Tuesday Night = City Council Meeting


    Come on down to City Hall tonight at 6:30pm and watch local pols in their native habitat. Do be careful not to disturb them. They can bite, and they're vicious when disturbed or if they're protecting their young.

    You can see all the action [...]

  • Social Justice Roundup

    WOMEN PRISONERS AT CHOWCHILLA AIM TO HELP VICTIMS The best research (and my own anecdotal observation) suggests that one of the essential components to transforming one’s life away from gangs and/or a similar law-breaking past requires that one face squarely the harm that one has caused and then give back in [...]

  • Leaning Toward Meg (Whitman)

    While I have made clear my choice in the Republican primary for the United States Senate seat from the Golden State, I have yet to weigh in on the contest for Governor.  Up until recently, I had been equally impressed by both candidates, former eBay CEO Meg Whitman and State [...]

  • Novel of SoCal dream going bust

    Model Home," the first novel by Eric Puchner, is set during the Reagan presidency and tells the story of a family — Camille, Warren and their three kids — who move from Wisconsin to Southern California so Warren can get into the real estate game. Bad move." [...]

  • The High Speed Rail is Coming, Brother!

    Number of comments: 1
    California’s High Speed Rail is coming for sure – just last week we were awarded $2.35 billion for it, from President Obama’s kickass stimulus bill! It’s coming with 130,000 construction jobs and 450,000 permanent jobs for Californians, right when we’re facing the worst unemployment since the Great Depression! High Speed Rail is [...]

  • Here's Exactly What We Don't Need

    One issue where we differ with probably 90% of our readers is the "don't ask, don't tell" (DADT) policy for gays serving in military service. It was enunciated in 1993 by Bill Clinton, later endorsed by George W. Bush and John McCain, along with many conservatives. I suspect that for [...]

  • Santa Ana Goon Enlisted to Attack Shawn Nelson

    Number of comments: 8
    When you get beyond the personal appearance issues things really start to get unattractive… The Tom Daly For Supervisor campaign being operated out of the back of the Mauve County blog offices enlisted an unlikely stooge today in an attack on Fullerton’s Shawn Nelson. The individual’s name is Thomas Anthony Gordon (pictured, [...]

  • The Liberal Prism of Condescension

    Number of comments: 15

    Like many intellectually-inclined individuals born in the Midwest, I chose to attend college in New England and settle in cities outside my native region, first living in the Washington, D.C.-metropolitan area and now in Los Angeles.  And while many of my peers who made similar journeys share my politics, most [...]

  • The latest Obama healthcare plan

    Obama-Boehner

    The comments on the last two posts about Sarah Palin are starting to get nasty and personal (as opposed to just nasty), so I thought I'd try and shift the discussion to something less controversial. Like, say, healthcare reform.

    The Times editorial board on Monday urged Democrats [...]

  • As Some Hesitate, Laird Says He Can Win Maldonado's

    I need to say something: I <3 John Laird.

    There, I said it. Former Asm. John Laird is neither flashy nor overly charismatic. But when it comes to quietly doing the work of the people, nobody works harder, knows his stuff better, or really understands the budget better than John Laird. [...]

  • High speed rail in CA must be justified

    Number of comments: 4
    In the transportation section of USA TODAY’s newspaper the headline reads “China’s fast trains may offer tips for us.” A word of caution. Before getting too enamored by bringing underfunded high-speed rail to California we must each set aside emotions and engage in a cost-benefit analysis including all key factors. China’s [...]
