June 1, 2022 by Marin 1 Comment

I’m no beltway insider, but from my vantage point looking across the Bay from a nice table at Poggio Trattoria in Sausalito, I don’t see how Democrats ride Joe Biden into 2024.  The midterms are lost, almost everyone concedes that.

Properly Subversive Commentary: All is sunny with Marin County District 5 supervisor candidates?

May 9, 2022 by Marin 1 Comment

Sherman R. Frederick/Properly Subversive I’ve written hundreds of newspaper endorsement editorials over the years.
