No, I'm not going anywhere, but it's time for randymi to go. Over a year has passed since I moved to San Francisco and boy has a lot changed. Our son was born, I found a new job, we took over Congress, we're represented by the Speaker of the House and moved to our bigger apartment (you should have seen our old one). I have a CA driver's license and voter registration card, San Francisco and Hayward library cards and just recently I joined the Commonwealth Club of California.

Where on God's Green Earth does George Bush find these people? Now, we learn that the nominee picked to replace Randall Tobias does not like black or Hispanic workers.

Kennys are popping up like mushrooms these day. This time, it is Ted Kennedy, Jr. who may challenge Chris Shays.

Fred Thompson has been played in so many bad roles that he has become utterly delusional.

This morning in San Francisco, Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. gave the keynote address of the 2007 Eco Live Conferece. In what was supposed to be a speech on the environment, he went over a range of issues ranging from the original topic to the war, to campaign finance reform. As the speech went on, it ouccured to me that not only does this guy have a lot on his mind, but that he is chomping at thebit do be in a position that allows him to do more. So when the speech ended, I asked him a question.

The ongoing rat fight that is the conservative DC establishment continues today as renowned author of the doctrine of "Shock and Awe" finally admits that his massage had a happier ending that he first acknowledged.

Whoever said that Chuck Hagel is invincible had better look at this poll released today by the state Democratic Party. Chuck Hagel is vulnerable and Jon Bruning is not doing much better.

What I love most about watching Republicans in distress is how they start feeding on each other like starving rats, especialy when one of the rats is about to talk to a committee that is invesitgating them.

Let the feeding begin.

Another one bites the dust. While this one is not a household name, Julie MacDonald was no less corrupt and has decided that she just can't take the heat anymore.

It loooks like the president that was supposed to bring "integrity" to the White House must realize by now that his administration has been practicing both the world's first and second oldest professions similtaniously.

If you use the Bay Bridge to get to work, you may be screwed as the MacArthur Maze that leads to the Bay Bridge has been partially destroyed.

One of the most overlooked quotes of the week is possibly the most important in this phase of the war in Iraq. George Bush, the self-imagined warrior president, admitted defeat on the Charlie Rose show.

You can say that this diary is as much a resignation watch open thread as Ricj Renzi's fellow Republicans are telling him to quit.

It looks like Rick Renzi sees the handwriting on the wall. and is considering an early retirement.

In an email just sent to me, Howard Dean sends his response to Rudy Giuliani loud and clear.

Even if Rick Renzi does not resign within the year, I would say that it is a safe bet that he will not seek reelection. Why would I say this? Because this report makes it pretty clear he is not thinking about 2008.

The storm enveloping Rick Renzi and John Doolittle are beginning to gather over Don Young (Alaska), as Paul Kiel reports that a former aide is about to plead guilty to charges surrounding Jack Abramoff.

In nearly 20 years in politics, I thought I heard it all, but apparetntly that isn't so. It's Dana Rohrabacher (R-CA) who sunk to such a low that he wished death upon the family members of European Union Members.
