Meet Joanna Newsom

Meet Joanna Newsom, a harpist, pianist, singer, songwriter and also the 2nd cousin (once removed) of San Francisco Mayor Gavin Newsom.

Newsom's work has become prominent on the indie rock scene, and her profile has risen, in part due to a number of live shows and appearances on The Jimmy Kimmel Show on ABC.

Both Newsom's harp playing and vocal style are unconventional… and so is she.

• Dating a musician known as Smog

• Favorite animal is a Seahorse, but she considers herself a land animal… so she would rather be a horse, but only a wild horse… not one which is owned - Whoa Whoa Whoa lil' doggy.

• Collaboartions include Cannabis Sativa, Galerina, and Psilocybe.

My best guess is she votes Green Party and Rainbow Coalition too. Check out her polymetric interview.

Gavin Newsom: Losing My Religion

As a Wikipedia Edit War wages leaps and bounds regarding Gavin Newsom’s right to call himself a Roman Catholic, photographer Bill Wilson captures the Mayor campaigning for Hillary Clinton in the hood.

The debate contests one cannot be considered Roman Catholic under the circumstances of divorce and remarriage - (See example).

While the consensus disagrees, arguing if the article subject [Gavin Newsom] considers himself Catholic, it isn't for editors to decide amongst themselves that he isn't.

San Francisco's resident Cougar Cub and renowned blogger, Beth Spotswood, describes the above photo:

"We've got the Virgin Mary, Hillary Clinton and Jesus."

... And, dont forget the Graffiti).

Meantime, everyone knows, Gavin’s ex-girlfriend, CIA Miami Actress Sofia Milos converted him to the Church of Scientology:

Actually, The city of San Francisco has ordered a Scientology group to stop using a picture of Mayor Gavin Newsom on its promotional materials, heartily endorsing founder L. Ron Hubbard's writings.

A group called the Way to Happiness Foundation International sent a box full of booklets to Newsom's City Hall office describing some of Scientology's core principles.

The pamphlets came emblazoned with the seal of the city of San Francisco and featured a picture of a smiling Newsom with a fictitious letter from him.

Newsom To Tie The Knot

Nope. Not the knot of his signature blue tie. Rather, he opted on getting laid in Hawaii.

Yep. San Francisco’s Hello/Goodbye Mayor, Gavin Newsom, said Aloha to his girlfriend (and the ladies) when he proposed during his vacation to actress Jennifer Siebel.

It will be Siebel's first marriage and the second for Newsom, whose four-year marriage to legal analyst Kimberly Guilfoyle ended in divorce in March 2006 (Guilfoyle hosts "The Line Up" and serves as a legal analyst for FOX News).

Siebel, who lives in Los Angeles, began dating Newsom prior to his public admission to having an affair with his campaign manager's wife and a drinking problem.

A Marin County native and Stanford University graduate, Siebel, 33, currently has a recurring guest spot on the NBC police drama "Life." She also appears in the film “In the Valley of Elah” (2007), an Iraq War drama costarring Tommy Lee Jones and Charlize Theron.

In an interview published in the Nob Hill Gazette in November, Siebel was asked if she and Newsom ever discussed about what life would be like if she were married to the mayor.

"People do mention the 'first lady' thing to me and it makes me sort of shy. But yes, we've talked about it. And joked about it, too. We both care about creating a normal, balanced life that includes family."

I’m thinkin’ that Newsom’s doomed to a brood of adorable little girls, like Casey at bat, ultimately breaking his heart when his daughter dates the captain of the chess team – Chris Daly’s son!

Is Gavin Juiced Up?

The Feds indicted Barry Bonds for perjury of justice for telling a grand jury he did not knowingly use performance-enhancing drugs.

Go directly to prison do not collect a Hall of Fame induction.

Barry should have learned how forgiving the public could be through Gavin Newsom’s apology.

Just nine months later, he's fresh out of rehab celebrating his 40th B-day with a runaway reelection victory... was it the mayor's teflon hair or;

Is Gavin juiced up?

BALCO’s conveniently located round the corner from City Hall and HGH (Human Growth Hormone) would explain Newsom’s Audacious Bounce Back from Behind the Muzak of Drinking, Cocaine episodes and Extra Extra-Marital Affairs - perhaps ‘Roid Rage!

Maybe future Proclamations should have an Asterisk?
