Garamendi Guessing Game
Who will the Governor pick to fill the Lieutenant Governor spot vacated by John Garamendi? San Diego political consultant John Dadian of Dadian & Associates sent this helpful list out to his roster, and I thought it well worth sharing. John’s looking for your vote on this, and now so am I. So who’s it gonna be? State Senator Sam …
Gavin Newsom Quits Governor’s Race – And You Read It Here First October 9th!
It’s official… as of today there’s one less Democrat running for Governor. In this Los Angeles Times article, San Francisco Mayor Gavin Newsom cites the always popular “job and family obligations.” What he didn’t cite was the Field Poll we discussed right here on San Diego Rostra on October 9 in my post, “Governor Moonbeam.” Gubernatorial candidate Attorney General Jerry …

He’s not the first person I’ve heard assert this. Talk about selective memory. During an exclusive interview with CBS Radio reporter Peter Maer …
Old Butch
This joke has been around for several years, origin unknown. I couldn’t help but share it since it has newfound meaning! Old Butch John was in the fertilized egg business. He had several hundred young layers (hens), called ‘pullets,’ and ten roosters to fertilize the eggs. He kept records, and any rooster not performing went into the soup pot and …
Thanks for the shoutout, Alex
You never know where a little visibility is going to come from. On a recent segment of the game show “Jeopardy!,” the correct response to the club provided was Presidential Candidate Ron Paul. Upon getting the correct answer, insufferable host (but a seriously good poker player who I watched in Las Vegas during a celebrity tournament) Alex Trebek energetically commented, …
