Ike:

And if you're in NY, please vote for Biden/Harris on the *Working Families* Party line, because NY has bizarro "fusion voting" where you can vote for the candidate on any line where they appear and it'll count just as much. Also WFP needs the votes to continue to exist and keep pissing off Quid Pro Cuomo from the left.

i can't stop thinking about the time i challenged VP Harris at the BART station, and she rolled her eyes at me (i blabbed something about having dated Willie Brown -- this was years ago)... was she running for DA or Mayor then? I forget, but boy do i feel sillier than ever thinking about it now. WIN WIN WIN Kamala Harris!

It was good to finally catch up on the history of People's Park at least. I knew something bad happened there - but the details really are quite shocking (even for that era)
