Friday Round-Up

by matt

All the poker on TV in the past few weeks is making a Vegas trip inevitable. Who’s with me?
Did this week really happen? I’m going to pretend not, that way I don’t have to really deal with any of the consequences. Kind of like…the administration.
Oh, Dick Cheney. Is it getting ‘hot [...]

Sure Beats Trolling the Chatrooms

by Jason

It’s difficult being a presidential candidate and a bachelor. Just ask Dennis Kucinich. After getting increasingly frustrated with Friendster (”Why can’t I access my %$#*ing account?”) and the Yahoo! personals (”Dammit! All the hotties are Dean supporters”), Kucinich did the next logical thing: he accepted a blind date from PoliticsNH.com, who unfortunately weren’t able to [...]

This Turd is My Governor

by matt

“Pay no attention to what I said before the election”
I don’t usually like to get into name-calling, but I’ve done it before when it comes to this turd, and it really doesn’t bother me that much.
From Reuters:
Before the election, Schwarzenegger said he would allow a probe of the allegations that he had sexually harassed women, [...]

Dick Morris is a Toe-Sucking Genius

by matt

Dick Morris is by far my favorite Republican. Who cares if he likes to do kinky things with hookers; who doesn’t really? His book Behind the Oval Office: Getting Reelected Against All Odds is a brilliant account of how he masterminded Bill Clinton’s 1996 reelection in the face of a very determined Republican [...]

Sanity Wins Out

by matt

Newsom 53% - Gonzalez 47%
A quote from the winner:
“I’m proud that ideas matter more than ideology,” Newsom said at a victorious campaign headquarters Tuesday night.
A quote from the loser:
“We had enough supporters to win this election,” Gonzalez said at his concession speech… “We didn’t win it, but we didn’t lose it either.”
Is there any doubt [...]

Wonder who The Chronicle wants to win…

by matt

These pictures ran side-by-side on the cover of Monday’s San Francisco Chronicle.
With the San Francisco Mayoral election today, this seems like a push in Gavin Newsom’s direction.

Gavin Newsom with wife Kimberly Gulfoyle-Newsom

Matt Gonzalez with ex-hippie burnout
Quite obvs. If I was Gonzalez, I’d be steaming. Pols with attractive wives usually win. Pols with [...]
