I know I don't often write about local San Francisco politics much on here, and that's mostly because it's so intense and stupid and fractious that I don't want to deal with it. San Francisco itself is a bit like living in a political whirlwind where we liberal Democrats are strong, but where stupid greens and the farthest left people you can imagine are also strong and are always ready to push you with their holier than thou attitude. Simply imagine this, from those you know me and read my page regularly and know how liberal and progressive I am on here, so simply imagine this: in the politics of San Francisco I am a moderate-conservative. Does that seem like a world turned upside-down or what?

Anyway, as I said, I don't write that much about local doings for many of these reasons. But today I am just so angry right now about the fact that some of the 'holier than thou' left crowd are trying to push our wonderful School Superintendant Arlene Ackerman (yes, the one who helped put the DC schools back together before coming here) out. It's all stupid politics. It's not even real issues. And it's mostly coming from the Green members of the board (yes, we in San Francisco, have Green party elected officials). And so they're never happy with anything. Ugh, I am so angry this morning about this.

Oh, and did I mention that before Ackerman came to SF the schools were terrible and falling apart and there was gross mismanagement and she's greatly fixed things and done a great job and there's an important bond proposal this November that the schools desperately need and that this chaos is ruining its chances of passage and the end result of whatever happens is our schools will be worse off. Very stupid politics indeed.
