Newsom Back Behind Bars

Nope, not San Francisco Mayor Gavin Newsom's favorite watering hole, Plumpjack and Balboa Cafe owned by Newsom and former socialite pal, Billy Getty.

Rather, an unusual jailhouse visit to obtain access codes to the city's computer network.

City engineer Terry Childs had been accused of withholding the access codes and has been jailed since July 13 on felony counts. Prosecutors said he was trying to block access to a vital city network.

A team of code crackers brought in from Cisco Systems had been working around the clock to try to decipher Childs' codes, but with only marginal success.

Then, Childs' lawyer, Erin Crane, called the mayor's office Monday afternoon, offering a jailhouse meeting.


"It wasn't cheap and I just couldn't see us keep spending that kind of money"

Without hesitation, the mayor acted to pay a secret visit to the jail and waled away with the codes. He was there inside of thirty minutes.

  • Do not contact City Attorney, Kamila Harris.
  • Do not contact Chief of Police, Heather Fong.
  • Do pass go and collect the code!

The lawyer says Childs had been the victim of a plot to force him out of his job.I admire both Child's enginuity born of his necessity, not compunction, to leverage his hand to win an audiance with the mayor, attempting to navagate through the murky judicial system as well as Newsom's willingness to quickly grant it on the City's behalf - saving taxpayers money!

This is just another reason why Gavin Newsom does NOT suck indeed!

Thank You! Thank You!

One's not enough, and two's ohh, ahh plenty!

Like Noah's Ark, fellow Reactionaries lined up "Two at Time" in bountiful droves to take shelter and merriment at Balboa Café celebrating the Mayor’s eminent triumph. Thank you to all, especially Gavin Newsom who tastefully stopped by with a bottle of PlumpJack, 1999 Estate, Oakville to express gratitude for our support.

We’re thinking the bottle may make a nice raffle prize at our next event... Maybe October 31st since Halloween has been cancelled. What’s the re-gifting etiquette - trick or treat?

Aside from the Chronicle's Cecilia M. Vega commitment to another news story, the Mayor's Victory Party was an overwhelming success. Kudos to the folks at California Conservative, SF Crime, SF Party Party, Pirate Cat Radio, The Daly Show and Dump Daly.

Please send any incriminating photos of the after party and we will be sure to post 'em too. Thank you! Thank you!

Hell Freezes Over

Regardless where you fall on the San Francisco Color Wheel, Gavin’s pearly grin and all ye who abandoned their party, platform and reason for the Mayor with Hair!

Round and Round She Goes. From Primaries to Pastel. Hippies in Suits in a tug-o-war with ‘Suits’ in Tees. Where Liberals are Democrats; Democrats, Republicans and Conservatives, Progressive.

Stop by the Gavin Newsom Victory Happy Hour!

Thank God. Bleeding-panty politics as usual suspects took one look at Gavin’s 78% approval rating and folded before the flop.
Hell just froze over, you dirty, stinkin’ Hippies.
With nothing but static to the Left of the radio dial, we’re all smiles to the right, Gavin’s just four year’s away from a bigger office with a constituency far outside the City limits and infinitely more conservative. We can finally rid our sidewalks Homeless and Homicides with That Old-Time medicine – Cop on every corner!

Gavin Newsom’s Victory Happy Hour!

The website was created in the aftermath of the mayor’s City Hall Sex Scandal in an effort to elicit more responsible leadership and a more conservative approach to long-time chronic homelessness and homicides growing exponentially.

Since that time, the mayor has acknowledged his apathy and revitalized his policy to include competitive pay for police, community courts, and swept our parks to quell TB, AIDs & Malaria.

Like Michael Moore, Gavin Newsom Sucks.com has flip-flopped its position and is hosting a Re-election Happy Hour at Balboa Café in his Honor’s honor.

Here’s to honor. Getting on her and staying on her!

  • Thursday, August 16th

We were not surprised to learn the Regressive Convention, although the biggest assembly of limp wrist salad-eaters since the Nixon era, produced zero candidates. Bleeding-panty politics-as-usual suspects like Chris Daly, Ross Mirkarimi, and Matt Gonzalez took a peek at Gavin’s 78% approval ratings showing and quickly folded before the flop.

With nothing but static to the Left of the radio dial and all smiles on the Right (except Tony “The Tiger” Hall), Gavin is just four years away from a bigger office with a constituency far outside the City, not to mention far more conservative and far less forgiving.

In other words, we can finally tackle the Quality-of-Life problems that have long plagued San Francisco draining our City of tourism, taxes and good times!
Here's to keeping the Hippies and Hypocrites in their vegitative state. The Vegans are finally food's food. Reactionaries Unite!
Thank God! My ‘soul’ goal is clean, safe streets. I’ve got some good ideas. Do you? If so, bring ‘em with and we’ll tip some Plumpjack.
