Mayor Kevin Johnson used to dunk on 7-foot NBA stars. Now he's laid low by lumpy union bosses and frumpy City Council members.
Breton weighed in again on the severe problems that shyster er, developer Stan Thomas is having. Once again, he goes soft on the dude, yet stops short of giving him the full blowjob he got in the last column. Remember, the one where he referred to him as "a barrel-chested bull of a man"?

Who could have envisioned that things would go so wrong with this railyard deal? Nostradamus? Madame Blavatsky? Uri Geller? No mere mortal could have figured it out I'm sure. I mean, even Breton, with his superhuman powers of observation (not to mention description) is just now starting to catch on.
There's a huuuggge show tonight at Sol Collective: G. Green, Ganglians, Wavves

I feel sorry for Breton. He's identified the primary problem with getting things done in this city: somehow, the physical aptitude and/or apparent strength and/or plain old machismo of a man (only men are relevant, obviously) is NOT enough for that man to get everything he wants from the city at all times. How can this be?
word verification: kings - which is appropriate because Breton learned everything about how the world works by covering the Kings for so long.
I know it's off topic but your link to Cosmo's blog told me that
Horkheimer is dead. Star Hustler. I had no idea he was a organist and nightclub entertainer before becoming a planetarium empressario. A sad day for science. -ec
So his problem is with the female city council members? Because a man can't be frumpy by definition.
Breton is a sexist fuck.

some of the lumpy union bosses COULD be men.
Breton obviously thinks that all matters before the city council should be decided by a dunk contest.
Come on, now. The poor man is a hippie lettuce causality. At least, give him credit for the Peter, Paul and Mary pun he made.

I don't see why everyone is jumping on this Thomas guy...all he did was default on hundreds of millions of dollars in loans. It's not like he's lumpy or frumpy! He has a truck driver's build, after all, and when was the last time you saw a lumpy truck driver?

Congratulations Breton, you've replaced Diana Griego Irwin as the Bee's most clueless/annoying writer. KJ's problem isn't other people blocking his moves, it's his own ego & hubris.
Also as with the K Street Mall, just imagine what could've been done for the Superfund Clean Up requirements on the railyard if the city had just spent the money on that, instead of chasing after developers like Thomas Enterprises.
Actually, environmental cleanup is the one thing that has been pretty much completed--the only soil that has not been cleaned up is the soil with tracks on them that have not been removed or relocated, and that is coming up--and paid for.
Breton is another victim of the ongoing obsession with positive thinking--if someone fails, it must be due to someone else's negative vibes messing things up. Positive thinkers are remarkably easy to lie to.
