Politics on 13th Street
Nov. 5th, 2003 06:25 pmI apologize to regular readers that I haven't had the time or energy to write a real entry in awhile. Soon, I promise.
Walking to work today, I saw that someone had graffitied, in thick, black junkie scrawl, "Fuck Matt Gonzalez" along many different billboards, mailboxes, and street signs from lower Duboce to 13th and South Van Ness. I actually giggled at the placement on Valencia under the anti Halloween-drinking ad with the drag cop saying "No Booze, No Bashing, No Bad Costumes, Fuck Matt Gonzalez!" I had to admit that showed a tad of creativity.
Weirdly though, Gonzalez's Mission District campaign headquarters, which was directly in the path, was completely untouched. The campaign headquarters was dark and empty this morning too. I bet Matt knows how to throw a victory party.
I forgot all about the graffiti until I came upon it again on the way home from work. But just as I passed the first "Fuck Matt!" a truck pulled out of the electrical supply parking lot. It was a flatbed with huge Newsom signs on both sides. The side I could see had everything but Gavin Newsom crossed out but with a big "Fuck" written above it. The truck turned the corner and I saw it just had a big swastika drawn over the poster with "Gavin is a Nazi" written in smaller letters.
It’ll be a fun month.
*In the course of reading Gavin’s website, I found out that not only did we go to high school together, but he was born just 5 days before I was.![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
ctrhotpink was checking out her old yearbook yesterday and saw that on the "Senior Superlatives" page where Gavin was voted "Most GQ", I was voted "Most Liberal". Maybe I should be running against him in 2007.
