Builder of Oakland's Fox Theater Once Imprisoned For 'White Slavery'
Man, we're bummed the Chron still hasn't put back up the pictures of the Canton Flower Shop and their stymied attempts to inspect the legendary shower in the back -- but we do have a new Matier and Ross column to summarize from the Tapioca Ed perspective: we call it M&R and Everyone We Know.
--First up -- Ed Jew himself: M&R repeat what faithful SFist readers recalled earlier this week: DA Kamala Harris hired Ed Jew as a consultant in her 2003 race against current Ed Jew attorney Bill Fazio.
One choice tidbit, though: M&R asked Harris's campaign manager where they mailed the checks for Jew's work, and he replied, after laughing, "I think we handed the checks to him. I don't think Ed's the kind of guy you mailed things to." Hey, Tapioca Ed picked up his mail every two weeks!
--Next, Chris Daly: Got so mad at District 5 Supervisor Ross Mirkarimi for not backing him up on the budget showdown with Newsom that other folks joked that they'd need to call in the SWAT team. Ed Jew connection: BoS prez Aaron Peskin was going to reassign Daly's position on the Budget and Finance Committee earlier in the week but got too busy with the Ed Jew arrest.
--And finally, Carole Migden: Has a condo at 3rd and Harrison (and reps SF and Marin), but has been reputed to live in the East Bay with her long-term partner for years. Oh no, C. Mig!

I can totally understand how Chris was feeling,I have deep commitments on issues that send me into a rager.Tell me someone who hasn't.I just recently felt that same level of rage when Newsom stole the credit for something he even once balked on.It was Chris's commitment style that gave me reason to be involved in the political process to begin with.
I don't get it. What purpose does it serve to summarize the work of Chronicle reporters? Why should you guys get ad revenue just for reading the newspaper?
Somehow, "Oh No, C. Mig!" doesn't have the same ring as "Oh No, Ed Jew!" Gotta work on a better slogan.
OK! I think Ed Jew should resign but I think its lame for SFist to keep repeating the same old stories. If Ed wasn't an Asian conservative but a local left progressive, would you be jumping on this topic as much as you have?
This is getting old...
I can think of no greater purpose that we could serve than sparing our readers from having to wade through an entire M&R column.
And yes, of course we'd jump all over a scandal involving a progressive left candidate ... as long as he had a funny name.
Wait, so Daly didn't get reassigned? Dang it! I thought Christmas came early this year!
question of the day: if Ed Jew was paid to do campaign work for Ms. Harris' bid for DA , did Ed Jew register as a campaign consultant with the city and pay the City Consultant Tax as per Yet Another Silly Progressive Election Law?
it's a stupid law, but it is the law , and if you don't abide by it, you get nailed with fines. hence why I avoid working in SF anymore!
One track mind politicians .... not good.
Bullying politicians who trigger the notion of calling in a SWAT team to protect a colleague from said hothead bully ... even worse.
So, Ross ... how do you FEEL about your workplace environment now?
Hey J have you forgotten mental $ rejected have spun a twisted truth but not as good as this twist is.They quote ghosts,didn't you know that?
great letter jerry:

People who are so abusive to their colleagues tend to act the same way or worse to their families.

The new Clerk of the Board doesn't live in SF, either.
