About Editor

I am a long time resident of San Francisco who has long been dismayed by Newsom's neoliberal, anti-homeless, pro-authoritarian, gentrifying, hypocritical policies.

Blast From the Past : Harmon Leon at Newsom’s Election Party (2003)

Leon later lost his job for fictionalizing his account, so this may not be very accurate.

It remains, however, hilarious. Read it here

Excerpt:

“My cousin would kill me if he finds out,” proclaims Gavin Newsom’s first cousin as she relays myriad stories about family gatherings with Gavin and the Gettys.

The Gonzalez supporters are still at it. A punk industrial band is now playing onstage. The Tamale Lady is here. The open bar has been drunk nearly dry. Gonzalez casually mingles among his beloved supporters — the atmosphere is sentimental, like the last night of summer camp.

Just shortly after arriving, Gavin Newsom’s first cousin asks to go back to my car so she can put on more makeup. She then tries to tear down a poster depicting Bush, Schwarzenegger and her first cousin that reads “The Holy Untrinity!”

“Will you mention my name in your article?” asks Gavin Newsom’s first cousin when we return to Gonzalez headquarters. “I want to be like Paris Hilton

LA Times Gets it Wrong on Gavin Newsom!

In an article entitled ” How Gavin Newsom keeps getting ahead of the pack,” reporter Cathleen Decker maintains that: ” Yes, the group loves Newsom, in large part because as mayor he pushed and signed into existence universal healthcare for city residents.”

This is untrue. San Francisco activist Larry Bush (of Friends of Ethics)  writes on Facebook that:

Blast From the Past: Gavin Newsom Swears in City Administrator Ed Lee for “Five More Years”

In this revealing video, Gavin Newsom swears in City Administrator Ed Lee for “five more years.”

Note how Gavin stresses “five more years” over and over and over and over….

And mistakes Eric Mar for Ed Lee.

And says Ed could be suitable for any position.

And stresses how Democrats mostly agree. True: perversion of democratic processes, handouts to plutocrats, neoliberal policies (including regressive taxation), crony appointments and nepotism and lying straight faced to the public!

A precursor to the setup to come.

Gavin Newsom Cuckold Alex Tourk & Ron Conway

We searched for a San Francisco Examiner today on the stands, but they are having circulation problems, so we had to find a great article about the campaign contributions of nefarious plutocrat Ron Conway by Mr. Sabatini online. And we were struck by this reference to Gavin Newsom’s cuckold Alex Tourk:

“Conway’s Conway’s representative, Alex Tourk, a lobbyist, confirmed to the Examiner that his contribution paid for a poll related to the District 3 race.representative, Alex Tourk, a lobbyist, confirmed to the Examiner that his contribution paid for a poll related to the District 3 race.”

Tourk continues to live up to his reputation!
