Pete Rose Bet On Steroids
WZIG in Alameda is reporting that former baseball star Pete Rose alledgedly bet on the effects of steroids on current baseball players. Since we Fantasy League players have been doing this forfever, MLB Commisioner Pud Selig isn’t expected to add any years to Pete’s lifetime suspention from baseball.
Here’s Pete, doing his best “Jack.”

Congrats Phils
I’m an old National League fan and, although the Phillies are the Mets hated rivals, I was happy to see them win… Matty Stairs, a fav of mine when he was a hitting machine with the A’s [and nice to my kid on picture day], continues to be clutch… Jimmy Rollins is an Alamedian who would look good in a Giants uni. SF entertained me and are upward bound in the post Barry Bighead era… Pat Burrell, Ray’s Evan Longoria and Carlos Pena were California Sea Otters this year and all did me well… The Otters were in contention all year, finished fourth of twelve in my league… The Angels made the playoffs and just picked up Vlad’s option and not Garrett’s. Thats good… Mets second demise in a row not withstanding, It was a terrific year.
Alamedans For McCain/Palin?
Just two single guys [Jeremiah Duboff and his mentor, William Piehl] that run a “Republican Think Tank” [oxymoron?] at Java Rama, a Park Street coffee house, and only one family that I know of… thankfully.
Great Scott, You’ve Got The Answer
Scott Gilpin, Esq. of Alameda may just have the answer.
Some friends share some of my views, but have nevertheless decided to “hold their nose and vote” for “the lesser of two evils.” To those who have resigned themselves and plan to choose between the candidates offered by the Democrat or Republican parties, I say: “Regardless of who you select, prepare to be disappointed.”
Any candidate of the twin parties of Big Business is predestined to disappoint the man or woman on the street. That is because neither of these parties offers genuine solutions to the problems you and I confront. Their differences in approach are superficial and essentially just differences in degree. The Republican and Democrat parties are basically ‘flip sides of the same coin.’ They are the twin parties of war and big business.
There are numerous examples to illustrate this reality. The most acute travesty that troubles the world and besets the nation serves as a typical instance: Bush & Co. lied us into an illegal and immoral war, but Hillary and the Democrats went right along with White House war aims. If memory serves, only one politician in the entire Senate and House of Representatives voted against the war at its inception (Barbara Lee: D-Oakland). Every other senator and congressional representative voted to invade Iraq!
Reports of Iraqi “WMDs” and terrorist connections were known at that time to be bogus by those with eyes to see and ears to hear. There was no reputable evidence of “WMDs” — or of collaboration between Osama bin Laden and Saddam Hussein. Still, Democrat politicians in Washington were content to “get with the program” and sponsor the invasion and occupation of Iraq anyway. In this they reveal that they haven’t even an ounce of principled opposition to immoral military invasions. Had they been leaders with principles they would have worked vigorously to stop this invasion which, as most of us now know, was a ‘war for empire’ and oil profits more than anything else.
You’ve heard it said, “If you lay down with dogs, you get up with fleas.” Well Barack Obama is lying with a howling pack of political hyenas, but the results are similar. He is easily the most articulate, charming and gentlemanly presidential candidate, and the personal slurs he endures are most assuredly undeserved. But his party is every bit as unprincipled and corrupt as the Republicans. It offers no program of real progressive reform, and it is program that matters; not personalities.
Some might be inclined to say, “If you don’t vote for either leading candidate then you can’t really criticize the outcome.” We hope to be forgiven for saying, “we told you so” once the inevitable disappointment sets in after the preferred candidate takes office. I will vote “yes” or “no” on the various ballot measures (school funding referendums, etc.) because those votes might actually matter. As for the Republicrat & Demopublican races, I’ll vote with my feet….. up on the coffee table….. and say, “A pox on both your houses.” The greatest power of democracy is in the streets.
“Honorary Mayor” Of Alameda
Sure our real Mayor is Beverly Johnson, seen here shaking hands with me boy Phillip Satin Tyko…
… but my pal William Piehl [pictured bellow taking a much needed break] takes over from time to time. He greets we Alamedans with a dose of good cheer at Java Rama Coffee Shop most every day. He is the happiest person I know.
