A few updates on some previously covered stories start off this sunny Thursday:
The Police Video: The Mercury News hired a forensic audio/visual person to enhance the video of the Police beating/Tasing of San Jose State's Phuong Ho. Because we don't like being accused of being a shill for Sean Webby, we encourage every single person to click through to the video, watch it, and then remember that there are (apparently) two sides to every story... This (and a review board looking at police force in San Jose) prompted another Editorial in the Mercury News calling a review of SJPD's use of force a good first step. (Enter your Palin-esque anti-media comments below... you know who you are.)
Wilcox High's "Broom Closet Modeling Agency" CEO: We know you remember the story of the janitor at Wilcox High School getting fired because he was running a modeling agency made up of Wilcox High School girls. Well, the School District apparently puts a lot of stock in Facebook fan pages because they rehired the guy to work on the grounds crew. Don't worry though, he won't be at Wilcox High -- unless of course the grass needs to be cut. The absolute best quote in this story is this, from Joe Miller the Broom Closet Modeling Agency: "I'm looking forward to my new job within the school district and practicing and producing the art of vintage through my Rockabilly Model agency outside the district..." Well, at least he learned his lesson...
South Bay 49ers: The 49er's stadium plan went to the Santa Clara Planning Commission yesterday and the meeting went late into the night... we know one thing for sure, the stadium plans are bike-friendly...
Total buzz kill... Mayor Reed wants to remind everyone that pot clubs are illegal in the City. Really? Mayor Reed would be so much more fun if he visited one of these clubs once and a while... How is Mayor Reed's position consistent with San Jose's "Green Vision"?
Downtown Palo Alto -- you know, the place with all the high-tech men in blue button-downs and khakis and all the students in flip-flops... well, it has been tough going for the area -- but a recovery may be on the horizon...
One of the several Silicon Valley, high-tech egos running for Statewide office next year was in DC chatting up the DC press corps. According to the Merc's story, Fiorina "...suggested that the science surrounding global warming is less than conclusive..." That is pretty much all you need to know about the pandering nature her campaign to come. Expect a supportive visit from Sarah Palin and James Inhofe soon...
Just to check in with how things were going, we took a gander over to our blogosphere neighbors at PoliticonValley... but the last posting was put up there on November 2nd... keep up the good work.
