Gartenzwerg: you can’t spell “pandemic” without “panic.” Heeheehee, I feel so clever. :p “PANdemIC!”
Whether you call it H1N1, Mexican Influenza, or “Hamthrax” (a new moniker found on Twitter) this past week’s appeal to fear story was the Swine Flu that probably killed less people than [...]

My day job is closed for the holidays, but the current economy demands that I spend my vacation at home instead of traveling to an exotic locale. It’s a glorious staycation for me, except for a few days of my vacation where I will have to settle for Salinas as an exotic locale to visit [...]

I will be bringing my son this morning to the San Rafael City Hall (1400 5th Avenue, San Rafael )to protest the shameful passage of Proposition 8 between 10:30 and 12:30 this morning. I applaud the efforts of Join the Impact and the Courage Campaign for working so hard on organizing the reaction to this [...]

I was just minding my own business and working on being tan, ready, and rested when all hell breaks loose in my own community over the whole Marinwood Plaza plan. Long-time readers of this blog know that I have special interest in what happens to that eyesore of a plaza just off the Marinwood exit. [...]

I slept like a baby through last night’s episode of The Endless Primary Show. I couldn’t take any more sadness about Ted Kennedy or China. I have been suffering through this head cold from hell since I got back home from going to Carole Migden’s house party. It started with a sore throat, and [...]

Double-endorsing is the New Endorsement
According to Northbayist, Mark Leno is claiming that my Supervisor, Susan Adams has endorsed him, and Carole Migden has Susan as an endorser. In an earlier post, I pointed out an article that has Susan announcing that she is endorsing Joe Nation, but it appears that there are two Susan Adams, [...]

On Thursday, May 8th, Marin Organizing Committee held an Action Assembly at St. Raphael Church in San Rafael. This event was the organization’s first and drew record standing room only crowds. As far as anyone knows 600 people is the largest gathering of its kind in Marin history. In my experience, it was by far [...]

- Video of Friday, May 9th State Senate Debate
- Observations from the Fundraisers (need to attend a Migden gathering to be fair)

Woolsey previously endorsed Carole Migden, now she is double endorsing for…wait for it…wait for it…Anybody but Joe Nation. That’s cold. One of my favorite political blogs, Liberal Values, posts a Clinton quote from USA Today that made my jaw drop.
“I have a much broader base to build a winning coalition on,” she said in an [...]

When national and local politics collide or when Clinton supporters and Obama supporters collide it feels like a B-Sci-fi-flick.
I was invited by Mark Leno’s people to join them for a fund raiser, and I went as an observer as I had not endorsed any candidate (still haven’t).
Prior this event, I read Dick Spotwood’s article about [...]

Evelyn Woo and everyone at the 6th Assembly District Democrats Club should really pat themselves on the back for putting together last night’s State Senate Forum at College of Marin. Joe Nation, Mark Leno, and Carole Migden all showed up last night and the evening really did give you the feel for each candidate.

BUSTED! I had already talked about Carole Migden’s campaign fund problem – 89 campaign finance violations.
Yesterday, the San Francisco Chronicle reported that State Senator Carole Migden has been fined and has agreed to pay $350,000, the highest penalty against a candidate for state office. Today, it will be up to at least 3 of [...]
