  1. hey, many thanks jesse (my wife didn’t put you up to this did she? i’m sorry you don’t like my hyperbolic and childish name-calling rhetoric and you are right in saying none of this will help anyone gain a deeper understanding of the issues. but i don’t think anything i would say in less than 25 words, even with the most dispassionate and eloquent rhetoric would have any serious effect on that count, nor should it. i point to articles i think are relevant to life in the Mission, interesting, or informative, or quirky, humorous, strange, whatever, worth a quick read in the morning. if you want to know more about an issue, or need a real profile of a political figure, i suggest you check out the articles i link to, or better, read what has been reported, with intelligence and grace, on these and other subjects in missionlocal over the past year.

  2. Hey, I don’t support Newsom. But the childish name calling (“Mayor Getty”), and the hyperbolic, over-simplified and cynical description of his motivations isn’t helping anyone gain understanding. Not journalism, and not decent, engaging editorial opinion.
