Wednesday, January 30, 2008 Weird Scene: Bathroom talk By Ed Graney Former 49ers and Lions coach Steve Mariucci, while a reporter waited outside a media bathroom to inquire about him possibly returning to the sidelines with the Redskins, being overheard in a stall giving financial real estate advice. You figure Mariucci, still collecting on a five-year, $25 million deal with Detroit, knows a little about how [...]

Wednesday, January 30, 2008 State of the Union notes By Steve Sebelius First off, let us say that yes, we are distantly related somehow to the governor of Kansas, Kathleen Sebelius, who delivered the Democratic response to President George W. Bush’s final State of the Union speech. We’re not sure exactly how. But we want to make it clear that we did not write her remarks or [...]

Tuesday, January 29, 2008 Local TV anchor goes batshit crazy By Steve Sebelius Suffering the slings and arrows of outrageous fortune has apparently overcome the tender sensibilities of local morning news personality Monica Jackson over at KVVU Channel 5.
(Regular readers know she was the subject of a couple of columns by Review-Journal gossip hound Norm Clarke, who noted she got the reporting of the breaking Monte Carlo [...]

Monday, January 28, 2008 Quick Hits for Monday! By Steve Sebelius Oh, there’s still plenty of news nuggets left over, ready to be plopped in the deep fryer, garnished with the hot mustard of truth and enjoyed with a large Coke product. Here we go!
This is one good reason why whoever runs against state Sen. Joe Heck is screwed.

Monday, January 28, 2008 Fox 5 stands behind “outstanding” wrong reports By Steve Sebelius If there’s one Review-Journal columnist we never miss (outside of our buddy Erin Neff, of course!) it’s Norm Clarke. Dude’s got his finger on the pulse of the celeb-u-tard community, and for some reason, we love reading about those people.
Anyway, we were interested on Sunday to read his report about the happenings on KVVU [...]

Monday, January 28, 2008 Oh, just so you know By Steve Sebelius Some of you may have received a news release earlier today from the office of U.S. Sen. Harry Reid, titled "REID, PELOSI, SEBELIUS TO HOLD PRESS CONFERENCE CALL, PHOTO OPPORTUNITIES AHEAD OF STATE OF THE UNION."

Monday, January 28, 2008 The FCC is also lame! By Steve Sebelius We’re not big fans of the Federal Communications Commission, mostly because they like to exceed their authority and tell us what we can and cannot see on TV. And if there’s anything you should not screw with in America, it’s TV. (Also beer, delivery pizza and porn. So long as Americans have access to those [...]

Monday, January 28, 2008 California Supreme Court is lame! By Steve Sebelius We still have trouble believing it: California’s Supreme Court has ruled that medical marijuana patients can be fired for using the drug — even though Golden State voters in 1996 legalized medical marijuana and it’s dispensed with a doctor’s order.
It seems a would-be worker for a Sacramento telecommunications company, Gary Ross, was fired after [...]

Friday, January 25, 2008 Gibbons repeals PLAs on state projects By Steve Sebelius We’re still not clear on all the details, but according to today’s Review-Journal, Gov. Jim Gibbons issued an executive order earlier this month repealing the use of project-labor agreements on projects involving state funds.
Project-labor agreements, known in the biz as "PLAs," are collective bargaining agreements between governments and unions that stipulate all contractors will [...]
