One consoling thought for SF Giants fans this weekend. At least we’re not Cubs fans.

–

Not always fan of Gabe Kapler’s decisions & not sure how much he was told to make those decisions. But this 2023 SF Giants season feels a bit like putting a bus together with cheap spare parts & then firing bus driver when bus breaks down.

(AJ Pollock and Paul Dejong? Really?)

Despite being a respected protege of Gregg Popovich, and despite interviewing for several jobs, the NBA thought Becky Hammon wasn’t head coach material.

The Las Vegas Aces, coached by Hammon, are defending WNBA champions. And they just completed another postseason sweep – this time of the Dallas Wings – to go back to the NBA finals.

–

Some say it’s not fair to criticize Speaker Kevin McCarthy because who could possibly govern with such a slim majority? Nancy Pelosi, that’s who. Madam Speaker Emertia looks more impressive every day.

–

She became mayor of San Francisco after Moscone/Milk assassinations my sophomore year in college. Known even then as one of Stanford’s best graduates. And yes for the youngsters who only remember an aging Senator, Dianne Feinstein was not only brilliant but beautiful.

–

Supported both these women when they ran for Governor – 1990 and 1998. Either would have been a great first woman Governor of California. Jane Harman and Dianne Feinstein.

Turns out to have been the last picture taken of Feinstein the night she died.

–

John Fetterman “The damage to our nation’s reputation and critical programming, and chaos for America’s families is because of a small group of GOP peckerheads in the House.

–

Thank you Senator, and thank you Pennsylvania, for electing John Fetterman to the Senate. Peckerheads might be my new favorite word!

–

As House Democrats vote to keep the government open – the bill Saturday passed 335 to 91 – with 209 Dems and 126 GOP voting yes, again your reminder… Democrats fundamentally have the same job as those who attend to animal sanitation at some circuses… they clean up after elephants.

–

Public servant to the end: Jane Harman, who visited Feinstein night before she died, said DiFi “felt she had to stay on job to make sure California was taken care of in the budget.” Senate works on Seniority, Padilla has been there less than 3 years. Sadly, Dianne wasn’t wrong.
