While lobbyists from the ag and auto industries spent the week fighting California's efforts to address smog and global warming, hell's demons used enhance interrogation techniques on Jerry Falwell's eternal soul. Meanwhile, I was back in Los Altos, catching up on the news:
The members of the Los Altos School District board is in trouble for using "reply-all" in their responses to Amanda Aaronson's concerns that the plan to redraw school assignment boundaries will screw over Mountain View residents. This is what you people get for not voting for my dad.
The Mountain View City Council appears to be at least considering a plan to preserve a portion of the Grant Road farm. Council member Matt Pear is not happy about this, telling the Voice's Daniel Debolt, "It's an eminent domain action cloaked in a rezoning verbiage. That sums it up I think." Thanks for clearing that up.
With Memorial Day approaching, Michael Shapiro comes out swinging in the San Jose Metro, blasting the Army's disinformation campaign regarding the death of Pat Tillman. The article also relates the similar experiences Karen Meredith and Nadia McCaffrey faced after their sons were killed.
Finally, Los Altos High has replaced its marquee with an electronic billboard. Sorry Craig.

I forgot to mention that the Voice has a new Web site, complete with a comments section and rss feed. Theoretically, this would mean I have no reason to continue this blog, which I start solely to enable readers to use those two features. However, it turns out that I'm also a jerk, so this blog still has its purposes.
Come on, Jon, you cover the Daily Bruin now, too! We also should not forget all the content the Town Crier provides for this blog. And of course there are those who tune in hoping to get an update on your personal life. Who knows, maybe you'll put up some DC news and I may post on some international topics, as well...but if you want to narrow it down to this being a comment section for the Voice, then fine.
So, who IS your dad? I might just vote for him next time...
- Amanda Aaronson
Who is my dad? I don't know if any one man can answer that question. But here is what Time Magazine had to say about him: http://nemesisofevil.blogspot.com/2006/12/person-of-year-my-dad.html
And why not, after the year he had: http://nemesisofevil.blogspot.com/2006/12/wiener-family-holiday-letter-2007.html
second link didn't work. :-(
Can't seem to figure that one out. Try searching for "Wiener Family" in the title bar. I promise you won't start getting porn ads in your gmail account.
One other thing I can't seem to figure out: why four hours before the start of the CCS baseball championship game (congrats to Sandy Wihtol and the boys), the high school's newfangled electronic sign was informing passersby of the date and temperature.
