What I don't like about this week
It's the week before elections. This means that, near the end of the week, I'm likely to get at least one very negative "hit piece" that is timed to hurt a rival candidate late enough where the hit candidate can't respond effectively. It happened all the time when I lived in Berkeley, where people talked about the art of hit pieces. (What a way to disparage the word "art"...). Politics in Santa Cruz are much mellower than in Berkeley, but I'm still expecting the incumbent county supervisor,
Mardi Wormhoudt, to send something nasty about her quit popular challenger,
Mark Primack. I'm sure the California governor's race will have postal ugliness on both sides. <sigh>
