so i says to my friend Esther, i says, "i was shocked that AsianWeek didn't endorse Kamala during the general election." Kamala was one of three candidates for the City's District Attorney and she is half Indian-- the other two candidates are white boys, although one is married to a Pacific Islander. Anyway, still, Kamala has strong, strong ties to the API community here in San Francisco. so, like i said, i was shocked at that. and then Esther says, she says, that the Fangs, who own AsianWeek, also own two other local papers-- the Examiner and the Independent-- and they were probably covering their bets in the election: i.e. three local papers, three different endorsements, and Kamala got the Independent's. Pretty slick politics there. So then i says, i says, "you mean, the endorsements aren't made based upon policy issues for the City?" and we both had a good, hearty laugh....
