I have been reading Jerry Brown's blog for a couple weeks now...  The mayor of Oakland is so interesting he puts everything on the table.  He has figured out how to blog. 

I guess you would think it is not rocket science but look at all the people that got axed from their jobs for poor blogging.

Highly recommend reading Jerry's response to some activist groups actions today.

George W Bush once attended a Superbowl party hosted by Thompson, back in his cocaine days.
