Question: Why did Fed Ed turned himself in to the Burlingame Jail? Answer: Because they serve better meals to prisoners than the San Francisco jails.

Meskunas will fall back on her 4-person organization: the Taxpayers Union. Look for her, Comstock, and Gruel if it ever has a meeting. Oh, wait, make that her 3-person organization; Ed probably won't be going to the next meeting.

For once Marc may be on to something. All these badly co-ordinated attacks on Gavin's detractors aired at the same time. I wonder who owns the URLs? Meanwhile, who has the brownest nose in D4? Will Ed go to jail (soon)? What will Barbara Meskunas say next? Now that she's stomped out of CSFN, who will have her? Maybe Gavin will appoint her Supe! "Christopher, BRING ME THE AXE!" Whatever happened to Julie "Kevin Killer" Lee? Is she in jail yet?

I'm sure it'll be linked on SFist before long, but I can't wait for that! Check out this amazing quote from a letter sent by Ed's lawyer Steve Gruel to the City Attorney's Office: "Not only has your office displayed a degree of unprofessionalism which I have never witnessed, but the City Attorney's actions further underscore what is discussed on the streets -- that this 'investigation' is politically driven against the supervisor." Who knew Steve Gruel had his ear to the streets like that! Keep it real, Steve! What a pathetic act of desperation. Does anybody really believe that Ed Jew has been living in the Sunset for the past six months? (That's a rhetorical question. The answer is "no.") Full story at SF Gate...

Another sticker: Ed Jew: "Quickly" Bribed! or "Quickly" using water!

First, rita, the July 12 date is correct :) Second, when Jew signed his "Intent to Solicit or Accept Contributions for Local Office" on FEBRUARY 28, 2006, he listed the 28th Ave. place as his residence. Third, he signed a sworn statement on August 11 saying that he met residency requirements. So, perjury too?? Defenders of Ed Jew: Save yourselves! Do not go down on the Tapioca Titanic!

I'm afraid not. The actual text reads, "And these lasses shall hail from the land of the north, by the wyld Baye". Today, of course, that's the Marina.

David Latterman, are the comely lasses of virtue true?

I'd prefer a bumper sticker for Ed Jew that says: "TapiocaGate"

Most of you probably don't know this, but there's a very old part of the City Charter that wasn't brought online. It still holds, however. It reads: "Should a Board Supervisor be found with malfeasance to not properly reside thusly in his District, he will be henceforth catapulted from the Capitol Grounds in an eastwardly direction to-wards the Baye." There's more in this part of Charter about how the Mayor is entitled to comely lasses as compensation, but that isn't relevant here. I believe the catapult is still in the City Hall basement. Can Ed Jew swim?

coup d'gras? as in they throw foie gras at him? In the event of removal or resignation, the mayor appoints a replacement, but then there is a by-election at the next scheduled election (November 2007 in this case). This happened with Sean Elsbernd and Phil Ting.

I want a bumper sticker that says: "What Would Ed Jew Do?"

true, true, "erstwhile" probably does jump the gun a little, doesn't it? (I write these posts kinda fast is my only excuse.) But "purported" didn't seem right either! What's a good synonym for "someone with a cloud over their reign"? "penumbraed"? Maybe I'll go with "residentially-challenged." [update: I went with "supposed." Boring, I know.] oh, and yes! While I'm editing my own comment, I can answer Megan's question too. Correct me if I'm wrong, but I think under City Charter 13.110(e), if they find that Ed Jew doesn't live in SF, he has to be removed from office. If a Supervisor is removed or resigns from office for any reason, Newsom gets to appoint the replacement under City Charter 13.101.5. Here's a link to section 13 of the City Charter if you want to double-check my cites: http://www.municode.com/content/4201/14130/HTML/ch013.html

I am not qualified to check your calendaring, but I feel certain that your deployment of the adjective erstwhile earns a baaaaaaaaahmp. He's not an erstwhile supervisor yet, although it sure seems like he will be before long. Also, marc is out of his friggin' mind.

Why verify residency before the election when you can always use it as a coup d'gras for a three way set up for those who veer off the reservation? Corporate San Francisco is trying for a bold "end game" to off the pesky nature of participatory democracy. Fucking with Jew gives Newsom a free shot. The City Attorney, Chronicle and probably entities sympathetic to both in the permitting subculture seem to have worked together quite effectively on this. Recalling McGoldrick distracts progressives this fall if not costs us a seat, gives Newsom a second free shot. Add to this the parking measure, and it seems like a coordinated strategy. -marc

I'd say that based on his superior knowledge of residency requirements, Ed's all set to run as Vice President of the United States of America.

You'd think that they'd verify this sort of thing *before* the election ...

What's also great about that letter is that the Tapioca-Gruel team are also claiming that the FBI took their evidence.

If Ed Jew is found to not live in District 4, what exactly happens? Is he thrown out/removed from office by the City Attorney? Does the Mayor appoint a replacement? When does District 4 get to elect a new Supervisor? Thanks a bunch!
