Suckafree, Quickly has always been on the low end of the tapioca drink spectrum when it comes to their quality. Which is why they have to focus on quantity -- quantity of products, quantity of locations. Sadly they've displaced many really, really good tapioca drink places that I used to frequent in high school. P.S. What I am, in regards to you, is not so much "mad" as "tired of reading your frequent, redundant, obsessive, misinformed, preachy drivel" and sometimes "shocked at how personal you make arguments, ie by calling another commenter a dumb ass", and I generally think you've personally taken this site, which I rely on to cure my boredom at work, down a whole ten notches.

KCBS is reporting that Gavin Newsome says he meets once a week with Ed Jew and that Jew is doing his supervisorial job. How can this be possible? If Newsome isn't willing to remove Jew on the basis of the evidence presented at the preliminary hearing, then why isn't anyone starting a recall petition? I'd be delighted to sign one.

By the time this plays out, Fazio will own several pieces of real estate and a flower shop in Chinatown.

My theory is that he didn't expect to win, but by running he thought he could get more juice for his permit-expediting and other businesses. Ideally, he could score a job out at the airport and work near home, but he turned out to be too good of a campaigner for his own good. It's like the comedy script where the con man falls into a position of real responsibility. Or Happy Gilmore, I'm not sure which.

"Why on earth would you want to represent an area you don't live in?" In Ed's case, it would most likely by briefcases with $40,000 cash in addition to your regular salary. Tax free!

One supposes the $40,000 merchant gratuity bit explains the extra-district representation bit.

Maybe in his world, everybody is smiling and everything is fine. Kinda like Bagdad Bob denying U.S. troops where roasting Saddam Hussein's ass. It is interesting to observe ....

Quickly is the worst place to get drinks, anyway. They're sooooo watered down.

I wonder what kinda deal Jew Sr worked out with the DA? Maybe no jail time for him since he lied about his voter registration too, in return for snitching?? Anyone know?

dang! i have jury duty on the 6th also. but..i'd probably get kicked off because i would argue that the entire situation was far too hilarious to take seriously, and would insist on wearing my star trek uniform.

Welcome to TapiocaGate. Don't forget, the "Ed Jew" tapioca drink special can either come with big balls, little balls, or no balls (if you get my drift).

Awesome - kind of like Watergate where every scandal gets a "-gate" suffix? Berkeley's Ed Jew, L.A.'s Ed Jew.

I really wish my jury duty wasn't for August 6. I would love to sit on that jury, though I think they would kick me off because of my letter to the Chronicle's editor.

I'm not a stupid person, but I just don't get it. Why doesn't he just say "ya got me", resign, and fade into the woodwork? If he had done so when this started, surely it wouldn't have gone to a trial. How embarrassing must this be for his family?
