SV News Break 05.27.09 And then what happened?

Whew!  Damn, Tuesday was a near killer!  Gripping news event after gripping news event all day long- it was hard to keep up!

In case you missed it, Obama nominated a Puerto Rican Woman to the Supreme Court, California upheld the ban on gay marriage, which has delighted and infuriated a hell of a lot of people around the country.

Locally, Mayor Nickels’ biggest fan on the City Council confirmed what was rumored last week- that she herself is running for Mayor, and apparently thinks Greg is a moron.    It wasn’t even noon before the air of the election took on a nasty, Divorce Court quality, with Drago and Nickels bickering back and forth all morning, throwing petty accusations and empty rhetoric none of us gives a shit about.  The election now officially sucks.

With a start to the week like that, it promises to be a doozy.  Enjoy your daily news break.
