I kibitz about baseball, politics, and San Francisco and am, with apologies to Leonard Cohen, a lazy bastard living in dungarees and a San Francisco Giants cap. Check out my Substack "Kibitizing with Lincoln."
This is the final paragraph of Harvey Milk's speech from the Gay Pride Parade in San Francisco in 1978. It is something we all need to remember now more than ever. Today is Milk's birthday. He remains my second favorite Jewish guy with strong ties to New York and San Francisco born on May 22nd.

I will be in conversation with Corey Busch tomorrow evening at the university club. It will be a discussion about my new book, and the life and impact of George Moscone on San Francisco. Hope to see you there.

I am trying to put together different kinds of events in San Francisco around my new biography of George Moscone. The one at the University Club on May 1st will be very special because I will be in conversation with Corey Busch. Busch was a close advisor, press secretary and more for George Moscone

Seven years ago this week, I wrote this in the HuffPo. I got some of the details wrong and the term Bannonite never caught on, but on balance I think I was reasonably prescient. You can read the full article here. www.huffpost.com/entry/trumps...

Joe Sheehan is one of the best baseball writers around. This is his review of my new book. It is pretty positive despite his views on my San Francisco bias.
