--Chris Daly gets booted as the chair of the Budget and Finance Committee.

It's been awhile since we heard from Supervisor Gerardo Sandoval. Maybe he's decided to keep a low profile after his big Hannity & Colmes flame out? Well, who knows. Anyways, he's back and in rare form, having proposed legislation to the Board of Supervisors that in an effort to save American values that are currently threatened by an influx of Spanish speakers, we need to make English the official language of SF. And not just any ole English, Shakespearean English at that.

There's been some amount of whining lately over this weekend's big championship football games. Especially here in the Bay Area as our football teams were out of the playoff running around the same time the Giants and the A's were. But relax, football fans, we just might have something to root for this weekend anyways. This week, Supervisor Gerardo Sandoval announced legislation to have the city adopt the Seattle Seahawks as our football team. It's kind of like having a Sister City. We now have a Sister-Team

Once a PD, always a PD -- Matt Gonzalez comes to the aid of fellow progressive (and former colleague at the public defender's office) Supervisor Gerardo Sandoval, penning an editorial published on the front page of the local African-American paper, the SF Bay View. So Sandoval's in a fight with Republican political consultant Duane Baughman over "anonymous" attack flyers mailed out in the 2004 race. But who? Who was it? Well, Gonzalez calls 'em out, identifying the flyers as sent by.... Don Fisher from the Gap -- possibly in retaliation for Sandoval's vote supporting a Gonzalez-sponsored bill against chain stores (which failed). Aw, say it ain't so, Matt! We love our Gap hoodie! One of the flyers, which Matt calls "the dirtiest piece of political mail I've ever seen," had a swastika on it and called Sandoval anti-Semitic. Another one had a picture of Ashcroft with the phrase "thanks, Gerardo!" stamped on The Soaring Eagle's forehead, arguing that Sandoval's support of that proposition allowing non-citizens to vote in school board elections would lead to more deportations. What, Fisher couldn't get Joss Stone to go negative about Sandoval's failure to wear white denim this season too? Gonzalez and Sandoval are calling for better disclosure laws on local political mailers in the future. Us, we're calling for a more relaxed fit on Don Fisher's boot-cut sandblasted vintage jeans. This picture of Matt is awesome. From the Progressive Voter Project.
