Surprised that MayorLee.com is still up and running.
This one-page website gives me a headache, so I don’t have the patience to watch it to see if it loops its catchphrases in order or if it makes them appear randomly.
Anyway, take a look for yourself, below – you’ll get the idea of the attitude of the person(s) what put it up.
Here are some of the standouts:
Ed Lee is unrelated to Ex-Supervisor Ed Jew (now in federal prison)
Ed Lee is best buds with Willie Brown and Rose Pak
Ed Lee never hesitates to embarrass his daughters in public: Tania and Brianna, Daddy loves you XOXO
O.K. fine.

There he is, San Francisco Interim Mayor Ed Lee announcing his election campaign.
At this moment, he was dodging questions from The Bay Citizen’s Gerry Shih.

The deets:
“I ask Ed Lee if he’ll keep giving exclu. intvus/news/polls to chron. Nevius comes up after, sez “maybe when you work for a bigger place’ Heh”
And somebody got arrested because Mayor Lee is an “oath breaker?” Didn’t see that. (Hope it wasn’t David Chiu!) Here are some peace officers outside of City Hall dealing with the aftermath of that little scuffle:
Here’s the audio of heckler Charles Kalish, addressing the Mayor: “Sir, are you going to step down?” Well, Chuck got carried away by six Sheriff’s deputies, I heard.
Anyway, it was over in a flash, with Ed journeying up to Room 200:
And, oh look, here’s a fresh statement from Senator Leland Yee:
“I have always said that whoever wants to run should run. I look forward to discussing the important issues facing our city with the interim mayor and finally seeing him at the candidate debates. While Ed Lee entering the race today is newsworthy, I am more focused on our campaign’s message to voters and continuing the dialogue we have had over the past 8 months. What I hear from the people of San Francisco is that we need to clean up City Hall and have a mayor who is independent of the power brokers. That is why I have released a 21-point ethics plan to restore the public trust and return city government to the people of our great city. Fighting for them is a promise I will keep as mayor.”
One of those “power brokers” referenced must certainly be Chinatown ward healer Rose Pak, but she wasn’t on the scene today in the basement of City Hall.
And here’s Board of Supervisors President David Chiu on the KQED News Fix Blog:
“Today there are many San Franciscans who are disappointed that Ed broke his promise,” he said. “For many months Ed Lee told San Franciscans one thing but it’s clear now he’s going to do just the opposite.”
Ouch.
On It Goes…
[UPDATE: All right, well then tell me where. You need somebody to cross-examine the woman who gave birth eight years ago at 26 with a husband who was like 80, per the Sun? I can do that. Just show me where that suddenly-shy news hound is and I'll go ask her. (Oh, and I'll need some cash for her interview fee, if she demands one - hey, did she get anything from the Sun? Mmmmm...) And she's entered her daughter into beauty pageants, like plural? In San Francisco? In California? Those pageants that have no presence on the Internet in this day and age? And do beauty pageant stage moms really use botox, that's like a technique IRL?]
Let’s see here, does “Botox Mom” Kerry Campbell live in any of the 47 square miles of San Francisco?
Noooope!
And yet:
“According to published reports, Campbell lived in Birmingham, England, and recently moved to San Francisco.”
Let’s see here, who published these reports?
The Sun:
Now, did somebody make a live hamster sandwich and then eat it in England?
Nope, the reporter made it up.
And yet, that’s a “published report” in the Sun as well.
Oh well.
Harvard Man Phil Ting, who wants to Reset San Francisco,who wants to Close the Loophole in Prop 13, got sworn in as your San Francisco Assessor-Recorder yet again in a ceremony at City Hall last night with Mayor Ed Lee and Speaker John Perez.
Couldn’t make it there myself but here’s a shot from swearings-in past, circa 2005, with wife Susan Sun and daughter Madeleine:
And, oh, he wants to be Your Mayor for 2012 and beyond.
Bon Courage Phil Ting.
This deal is kind of a rip-off because you and your kin have to visit Stanfoo three times and you might only get $80 for the both of you.
Seems as if MUNI might make more money on this affair than the participants.
(Maybe if they actually paid the moms/daughters a fair amount for their time, it would warp the study or something.)
Oh well.

“Moms and Daughters Wanted for Paid fMRI Brain Scan Research at Stanford
Are you a mother with a daughter who is 10-14 years old? Have you had episodes of depression during adulthood?
If so, you may be eligible to participate in a study of how moms and their children think and process emotional information. The study takes place in the Psychology Department at Stanford University. You and your daughter would participate in interviews, fill out questionnaires, and have a scan taken of your daughter’s brain.
Eligible mother-child pairs will receive $40/hour for their time. The study would last from 2-6 hours over the course of two or three visits. We will schedule the sessions around your availability (daytime, evenings, or weekends are all fine).
To be eligible for this study:
** you must have a daughter between the ages of 10-14
** you must be a US citizen or non-citizen with a Green Card
** you must read and speak English
** you should have no immediate plans to leave the Bay Area
If you would like to receive more information about this study, please email mood@psych.stanford.edu or call (650) 723-0804 to reach the study coordinator, Hannah Burley. Please refer to study #287. For general information about participant rights, contact 1-866-680-2906. Thank you.

Mayor Gavin Newsom and wife Jennifer Siebel-Newsom cast their ballots this AM in a garage up in the Upper Terrace neighborhood.

This voter waited a bit for a chance to meet San Francisco royalty:
Plenty of Giants fans are still showing their colors today:
Appears as if the Newsoms are signed up to be vote-by-mailers, so they had to vote provisionally today, AFAIK. (I should be up-to-speed on this issue but I’m not. But logically, you can’t vote at the precinct and also by mail, so they let you vote and then check to see if your ballot arrives in the post.)
A Kennedy-esque scene at precinct 3808:
And all the while, dude here is just down the street watching the media circus travel back and forth.
(For some reason contractors are all over Upper Terrace these days, building and rebuilding houses everywhere.)
The Newsoms then took off for an 11-hour non-stop day.
They’ll most likely be rewarded with good news after 8:00 PM tonight…
Well, here’s the news. Former San Francisco Board of Supervisors President Angela Alioto has just endorsed Janet Reilly for District 2. See?
Now, the news from just four days ago was that Angela’s niece, current District 2 Supervisor Michela Alioto-Pier, had endorsed candidate Mark Farrell.
So, I’d say that aunt and niece are at odds over this particular issue. (Not that there’s anything wrong with that…)
Today’s news means Janet Reilly now has more endorsements than Bill Clinton’s passport, in all probability…
Enjoy:
“Supervisor Michela Alioto-Pier Endorses Mark Farrell for Supervisor
(San Francisco) –District 2 Supervisor Michela Alioto-Pier today announced her endorsement of attorney, businessman and father, Mark Farrell to succeed her as District 2 Supervisor.
“District 2 deserves an independent Supervisor with the experience and ability to represent our neighborhoods at City Hall. The Board of Supervisors needs someone with common sense values who will stand up to the special interests and lead with honor and integrity” said Supervisor Alioto-Pier.
Supervisor Alioto-Pier is supporting Farrell because she believes he is in the best person to continue her work at City Hall. Supervisor Alioto-Pier has focused on creating jobs, protecting neighborhood character and defending public safety from dangerous budget cuts.
Supervisor Alioto-Pier’s endorsement builds on Farrell’s impressive in-district support. Farrell has led all of his opponents in fundraising with over 750 individual donors – half of whom are within San Francisco and District 2.
Mark Farrell, like Supervisor Alioto-Pier, is a native-born San Franciscan. Both the Supervisor and Farrell were born and raised in the neighborhoods of District 2 and continue to raise their children here as well.
As an attorney and partner in a small business venture capital firm focusing on the hospitality industry – an important part of the city’s economy- Farrell’s financial management and budgeting experience will be important to help solve the city’s structural budget deficit.
“I am honored to receive the endorsement of Supervisor Alioto-Pier,” said Farrell. “I am committed to continue the good work she has begun and will work to restore common sense, fiscal discipline and a neighborhood voice to City Hall.”
