Okay I promise this will be my last post about the SF mayoral election. I am deeply disappointed. Forty-eight percent turnout, citywide. Morons staying home because some water might fall on them. Morons voting for Newsom because they think this election was about partisan politics, that they can’t see a Democrat losing to a Green. […]

Taken from here: T.H. White said that every campaign has a defining moment. What has been the defining moment of this campaign for you? “This campaign has been a phenomenon and good editors always tell reporters that when you’re covering a phenomenon, don’t try to make sense of it.

Jesus H Christ I am so SICK of having my mood ruined the moment I get home every day for the past week. You know why? Because every single fucking day, I get another slick Newsom mailer, paid for by his millions, and covered on both sides with lies, distortions, and his reptilian, shit-eating grin. […]
