All is fair in love and war. Then the puppet master steps in. Last night Aaron Peskin won the District 3 supervisorial seat, in flagrant and flamboyant disobedience to the "no-ifs-ands-or-buts" dictat of local warlords who had handpicked Julie Christensen as their pet dog, and this morning the delirious electorate in District 3 belatedly woke up to the realization that the San Francisco Democratic Party kingpins will, inevitably, remember their treachery. For a very long time.
In San Francisco, obedience to the machinery counts.
As Leland Yee found out.
The machinery has cogs among the unions, all city hall departments, in the business community (now especially the Silicon Valley capitalists), and among every collection of pissy loudmouths with an agenda.
Because the scratching of backs gets reciprocated.
We are all about spinal comfort here.
Chiropractors-r-us.
These folks will burn down the house to get at the roach problem, and District Three has proven to be full of roaches.
Potholes, blight, and urban decay will henceforth be ignored, funding will be allocated elsewhere, police patrols may fade, and little puppies will be killed. Everyone, please think about the buggery puppies!
Graffitti will increase exponentially.
As well as homelessness.
Dead puppies!
"A combination of Martin Luther King, Angela Davis, Albert Einstein ... "
Yeah, no, not going to name names.
Don't want to get damaged.
I expect that Chinatown will now turn into more of a dump than it already is. Once you've won the favourable attention of the machinery, you no longer need the little man, or the Chinese Chamber of Commerce.
Or at least, you may think that that is the case.
The pit bulls may think otherwise.
They too prize loyalty.
First salvo may be to shine light on certain individuals' connections.
And not just the legitimate ones.
