I note that the 36th also did not endorse anyone for School Board (that is running in that region).

westello commented on Breaking News: Pretty Woman Does Something Besides Look Good!.
What a dumb, dumb opener. I'll bet she gets that a lot "what's a pretty girl like you doing behind a camera?" And the answer is "Making a movie."
Women not supporting women is not some circle of hell but boy, it doesn't help if women themselves think this way.

You left out "Goldy's tone was not inappropriate at all." That would be my choice.
Who gives kids an old rifle to play with in the bathtub?
What law-enforcement officer lays out loaded guns on a bed in front of a small child?
And if you need to rationalize parental negligence by saying "It's God's will", you may need to go look in the mirror.

westello commented on McGinn and Harrell Garner Barbs, then Dual Endorsement from 37th LD.
"Former state Representative Dawn Mason, always good for a little invective, accused McGinn of "writing African Americans out" of the Family and Education Levy,.."
First, yes, she has to get a ding in every - single -time, at somebody, and I suspect what she meant is that some groups have been exited from providing services for the Families & Education levy because of the accountability that the City is now demanding. Accountability for tax dollars, go figure.
(FYI, many, many African-American students are served by the Families& Ed levy.)

Why does Stranger staff seem to use children/babies for effect? Kinda off-putting especially if you do have children.

Goldy, you have a kid - when they are little, they put everything in their mouths.
What we really have is a surplus of stupid parents with guns.

westello commented on Tim Burgess Quits the Mayor's Race.
This news makes me happy because Burgess was the most worrisome candidate for our school district and public education. Between endorsements and donations, it was clear he was in the ed reform camp.

westello commented on Kay Smith-Blum Won't Seek Second Term on School Board.
It is a great loss to the Board and district but I wish Kay well.
Junipero, look for big outside money to come into the Board races (as it did in LA's board races). Also, if Burgess clears the primary, I suspect ed reform money would flow to him (although how it would look to be taking money from the Walmart folks, I don't know).
