This is a horrible thing to say, but I'm over this goddamn oil spill.
I get it. Dead birds. Late crab season. Sad hippies.
But I get the sinking (ha!) sensation that we're going to be hearing about this stupid ship well into '08 and frankly, I'm already sick of it leading every single local media outlet.
Hello? Did we not receive rumored word that Gavin was going to propose immediately after the election? Where's the coverage on that? Is Project Runway not premiering tomorrow night on the greatest TV channel ever? Is this not newsworthy? And aren't we still at war? I can never be sure these days.
So, just to recap: thanks for cleaning this shit up. Keep up the good work. I'm sorry some jackass crashed a boat. Let's be glad the bridge didn't collapse (again). And I'm sad for the poor animals and windsurfers affected by this "tragedy." But what's done is done and I'm ready for some new scandals...

Have you seen this?
"A top Democrat in the state Senate is being investigated for allegedly using credit cards to charge $397,000 in political expenses without disclosing who was initially paid and for what, as required by campaign finance laws," reports Patrick McGreevy in the Times.
"State Sen. Carole Migden (D-San Francisco), chairwoman of the Senate Democratic Caucus, said Friday that she was cooperating with the state Fair Political Practices Commission, which confirmed its investigation of her in a letter obtained by The Times.
"Investigators are looking at the last seven years of credit card expenses. If found in violation, Migden could face up to $60,000 in administrative fines."
And a couple hundred thousand worth of bad publicity in the run-up to a contested primary election...
"Campaign finance experts say the failure to itemize expenses hides from the public whether the money received from campaign contributors is being spent on lavish meals, gifts or travel that improperly benefit the politician without meeting a legitimate campaign purpose.
"The Fair Political Practices Commission launched an investigation of Migden's expenses after receiving a formal complaint from Assemblyman Mark Leno (D-San Francisco), who is a candidate to unseat her in the June 2008 election."
You really are going to hell for your wickednes. Thanks for the "Project Runway" reminder, however. And be sure to check out the "Blind Item" over at Fog City Journal. It sounds like Drunk Gavin is making a comeback.
Given FCJ's blind item, will Ruby suddenly announced she isn't an alcoholic after all?
You. Are. Terrible.
I am assuming that you did not volunteer to clean oil off of sea birds over the weekend...
but what about his weekend...what about the proposal?
"I don't see how my staying would have changed things," Newsom said. "I was gone all of two days, *and it turned out to be one of the worst weekends of my life.*" from Matier & Ross today...
what happened in HI?
