Wade Crowfoot is leaving Team Newsom. Aw. Crowfoot, "that guy with the fake job about weather who all the gays think is hot," has been hired by Environmental Defense Fund for yet another newly created yet dubious position. According to SF Biz Times, Wade will "lobby California’s congressional delegation and other political and business leaders to push EDF’s agenda." Now the rest of California will get to bask in the warm glow of his sharp cheek bones and cherry-stained lips. À la prochaine fois, Wade. But wait, there's more! Budget director Nani Coloretti is leaving the Newsom's brodeo as well. And, SFBG reports, "political fundraiser Paige Barry Arata ... is quitting as the finance director of Newsom's gubernatorial bid and returning to City Hall." These most recent departures come on the heels of Newsom campaign manager Eric Jaye calling it quits on Monday. Feel free to speculate wildly in the comments.

Virtually Gavin
Hey, Dan Noyes, here's a gotcha technique to consider -- cyberspace! Gavin took a break from Davos to do a virtual interview with the Second Life news center. Alas, there are no chicken avatars present. Good work, virtual Wade Crowfoot!
How'd Question Time Go?
Well, we're sorry to report that everyone's day jobs managed to succeed where Wade Crowfoot did not -- namely, in preventing anyone wearing a chicken suit from gaining access to the city's very first Question Time before the Board of Supes! What is democracy coming to?

There's no Swells society column today! Sad! So we're doing a Fake Question Time By The Numbers instead.

Boris Delepine also starred for the victorious HOGs. He played a solid first base, sometimes stretching his lanky frame to amazing lengths, and he also contributed at the plate with two singles and triple.
